Is the plug hole enough drainage? I've got a bath and am wondering wether to try this- I usually use buckets.do you put something over the plug hole- like crocks or gravel? to ensure keeps draining?

I've got a bath and am wondering wether to try this- I usually use buckets.do you put something over the plug hole- like crocks or gravel? to ensure keeps draining?i stand the bath on its own legs, but make sure its level and the plug hole is clears - i remove all the drainage plasticwork. I also put in a layer at the bottom of perlite + compost, to hold the water better, but thats only because i can get dirt cheap perlite and compost. Takes about 6 x 80L bags of compost to fill a bath, but as long as you dont get carrot fly, you can keep reviving it with farmyard manure every year. And theres nothing to stop you recycling all the spent compost out of pots.[/quoteI would have thought that reviving the compost with farmyard manure would make the carrots fork.
