I use lattice pots for my stock plants, but they are plunged to the rim in sand, and I cover them in winter to keep too much rain off. It is very easy to sort and repot them in the summer, and they make a lot of root growth out into the sand. I always put a cm or so of grit in the bottom of the basket, as some are a little short of drainage holes in the base.
Eh? What sort of lattice pots are you using that haven't enough holes? Are they not an offence against the Trades Description( Implied Terms) Act ?
I'm going to try mine straight in the ground in a raised bed. The soil here is quite friable even after rain.
My main concern about using them has always been security, I do mulch a lot and make sure the top of the pot is buried and well hidden but they can be removed very quickly.
had one case of someone digging up nivalis & they were caught walking out to catch a bus back home
Leena they are mesh pots designed for aquatic plants so have very good drainage, eg.
