Propagation: Jugs on the ground or elevated?, 1 by kqcrna

Another drainage tip (sorry, I don't remember who suggested this) is to poke drainage holes at the bottom corners, just barely off the ground. These seem to facilitate drainage. Also, my milk jugs have a slightly elevated ridge along the bottom center which doesn't actually contact the ground. I poke holes there, too.

Putting containers on a table gives you the advantage of not having to bend over when checking or playing with your babies. But then they might be more prone to blow away. Last year most of mine were on the ground but corralled in some kind of box (with drainage holes). Last year many of mine were on the ground in half of an old dog crate.
