Thanks for the response. After I posted that question I kept searching around for an answer and found some interesting information against using aeration on the bottom of a container. I think i'm going to skip it this time but I'm still not sold on one way or the other.Yep I've been doing that in general, especially in large pots, for years.
So it was something I didn't even think about when I set up my first no-till pot, it got an inch of lava rock as the bottommost layer. Mind you I've only used it on one run to now (and that was a crazy one, not due to the lava rock hehe), so there may be implications for no-till I am not yet aware of
