Chief, no rocks or things for drainage. Just a soiless growing media with perlite mixed in plus some organic ferts. I do it that way with all my container grow outs.

Here is a plant I pulled out of a 5 gal container and cut the aggregate up to give you an Idea of the root structure. Then I used a hose to remove the aggregate from the root structure to give you an idea how it grows in the aggregate. Ami
