Decorative stone

Charcoal

You also need to find a container with a height of at least 15 cm. First of all, put the rocks with a height of about 2.5 cm from the bottom of the container. Then, add a thin layer of charcoal on top of the rocks. Charcoal serves as a filter, while the rocks will be “on duty” as a drain.

Use bulkhead

To avoid soil mixed with rocks, you need some sort of bulkhead. You can use a coffee filter to do the “job”. After that, put on the soil with a thickness of about 7.5 cm. Use paper as a funnel in order not to contaminate ground glass containers.
