Bill,

If you don't mind, can we stick with my original question,
whether it is OK or not to put some landscape rocks
on the surface of a pot to make it heavier? It is just a
simple YES or NO answer !!

I've used rocks as a mulch more than once. I've never killed anything
doing that. I mostly do that for succulents tho'.

I doubt that it'd hurt anything. Just watch for excess soil compaction.

I've got pebbles on top of the soil in my herb pots here outside the
door, to keep my hens from eating the potting soil. I don't know why the
biddies like the soil, but they do.

The plants are doing a lot better with the pebbles than they did with
the potting soil being disturbed and removed all the time.
