    Hey guys,

    So i was thinking about growing potatoes and things like that in flexi tubs but will i need to put holes in the bottom of them for drainage or would i just need some stones or sand in the bottom?
    Help me please
    Lots of Love

    Hi Bex :)

    Holes are vital in any container really; whilst all plants want water, and the last thing you want is to have them drying out, having them stand with their feet wet all the time can be just as bad if not worse.
