HEALTHY PLANTS. NO MESS. NO HASSLE.
What are Drain Smart discs made of?
Each disc is composed of a 1/2" thick nylon mesh with a layer of geo-filter fabric heat-welded to one side. The nylon mesh elevates the filter off the bottom of the planter, allowing water to drain over the entire surface of the disc. The free space provided by the filter fabric encourages the water to drain directly into the mesh and then out of the planter.
The filter fabric is also designed to retain the soil and allows the water to pass through the mesh and out of the planter drain hole.
Drain Smart is safe for planting herbs and other edible plants.

These are a great little invention for someone like me who tends to “over love” their plants. I actually need to water them more than I thought I would because they drain well. Stable, discreet, work well, maybe a little higher price point than I’d like but it’s ok.

No more messy hit or miss rocks for me! I got these drainage discs, cut them to fit the bottom of the pots, and that was that. No muss, no fuss--just the disc, the potting soil, the plant, then water. Just as important, I don't have to worry that the drainage holes will clog and the plants will suffer from standing water. This is one of those things you don't know how much you need them until you have them! I'm a serious Plant Lady, and these discs are now a permanent part of my "secret of success"!

I planted the beauty in the pic at least a month ago & it looks as good or better than the day I brought it home! I assume the drain is working well! I am careful not to over water, a mistake I feel many of us make.

Purposely bought larger because of the variety sizes of plants to repot so I have had to trim to fit a few. I think they work great, no issues, plants seem healthy and continue to grow since repotting with these.

When I saw these pop up in searches, I was really sceptical. I read the Q&A and reviews but I was still skeptical. I finally bought a package to try them out.I was really impressed by how well the Drain Smart worked! I haven't tried one in a pot that's a larger diameter than one though, but based on my experience mentioned below, I don't know if one would work very well.There's one problem I have. They advertise the Drain Smart can be cut to fit smaller sized pots because they only make a few sizes. I tried that on a couple pots and on one that is irregularly shaped. Unless you can cut with perfect accuracy, the Drain Smart doesn't work well. I end up with dirt that starts to drain out when I water the plant. Granted, it's not a lot of dirt, but it's more than if I put rocks in the bottom.I can see how these would be really beneficial in outdoor pots. I have two foot long rectangular over-the-railing planters. I would love to use these over the holes in them but cutting a circle to fit in a narrow rectangle would be a waste.What they need to do is make the Drain Smart in smaller diameters and in rectangles. Or somehow change the design so they are easier to use with smaller pots.If it's a perfect fit in the planter, these rock!

I have a potted plant tree that takes a specific size pot and I haven't been able to find that size with a cup underneath to retain water longer. So I decided to try lining the pots with drainage discs. I had to cut them down to size which was fairly simple. They seem sturdy but a good pair of kitchen/gardening scissors worked fine on them. Unfortunately, I left a bout a 1/4" or less gap around the bottom of the pot and all the water still just comes right out the bottom. Or at least it looks like that. I love the look of my herb garden in this potted plant tree, but watering them daily when I have no hose nearby is a pain. I was hoping this would at least get me to every other day. I'll revise this post in a few weeks if I feel it retains enough water to help. Leaving them full size and letting the disc come up the side of the pot wasn't an option because the plastic/felt was too thick to bend and contour. I wouldn't have hand enough space left to properly plant the plants. That may work for a larger size where there is more weight holding the discs down.
