Isn't that some kinda sacrilege?

I prefer "changing with the times".
I know, it's been something we've done for generations. Along with the rusty nail for iron...etc.
It took a long time for them to convince me, but when they brought out 2 identical containers, filled one with soil mix and one with a rock layer and then the same soil mix, then poured in the same amount of water into each pot (ending the pour at the same time), they convinced me.
The container with the soil only drained faster than the container with the rocks. They also did it with sand as well. Same result.
It's ok with me if someone wants to put rocks in the bottom of their pot, it's not like I get a commission for every convert.
Just thought I'd share what my extension office shared with me.
Peace,
