Exciting news! After years of work, my research paper has just been published. It shows that adding a layer of gravel at the bottom of a plant pot really DOES improve drainage. This exact scenario has never been directly tested before, in spite of a lot of myths and theories flying around.

The full research paper is open access: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0318716

There's also a slightly more reader-friendly summary and explanation of the research on my website: https://tradescantia.uk/article/drainage-layers/
