Proper drainage is the unsung hero of successful urban gardening. The drainage holes in our planter boxes are meticulously designed to be both functional and discreet. Typically, multiple holes are spaced evenly across the bottom of the box. Their size is carefully calibrated—large enough to allow excess water to escape freely, preventing root rot, yet small enough to retain most of the soil. For larger boxes, we often include a raised internal grid or feet to elevate the base slightly, creating an air gap that further improves drainage and aeration. We always recommend using a high-quality potting mix and considering a layer of drainage material, like pebbles or broken pottery, over the holes to keep soil from washing out. This thoughtful design ensures your plants' roots have the perfect balance of moisture and air, which is crucial for thriving in any city environment.
