I'm just about to pop my Million toms into their final pots (good old Asda flower buckets! 
) and was wondering about drainage.
I've drilled about 14 x 10mm holes in the bottom of each bucket and I remember my Nan telling me that you should always put some gravel or small stones in the bottom of the pots to help with drainage.
My newbie question is if I put a layer of pea shingle, approx. 15mm - 20mm deep, in the bottom of the buckets will I still be able to water them from below? Will the osmosis still work?
My ignorance astounds me!
