Patio Herbs
« on: May 05, 2006, 10:46:13 »
I have planted out a selection of the usual herbs into 12" clay pots around the patio, close to the kitchen.
Should I put saucers under the pots, or those clay feet, that keep them off the ground & promote drainage?

Providing you have crocked the bottom of the pots well there is not really any need to use pot feet.  And I wouldn't use saucers either, as they retain water and the herbs will hate that.
