Specialty Gardening: false bottom for big containers, 1 by monkapotamus

I do use a pretty free draining soil, and the intention was not that it needed better drainage in itself, to reduce the volume of soil I needed to use b/c the pot is very large-over 2' tall. The soil in there is around a foot deep, which is what I had last year and everything preformed well. So I wanted to be sure what I used to take up some space wasn't going to hinder the drainage, or turn into a science project under there by the end of the summer, etc.
I'm in the middle of renovating the spot in front of the house where it sits, so I'm glad it isn't all the way full. It takes 2 to move it as is.
Here it is- planted all planted up. The sweet potatoes don't really show yet, but they'll cascade down the sides.
