We're in for another week of wet weather, and it’s safe to say our water butts are benefiting from the constant rain. That can spell disaster for our potted plants, though – unless, of course, you have pot feet on your side.
Heavy rainfall is forecast in many parts of the UK until Friday, leaving container plants at higher risk of waterlogging. There are a few ways you can protect potted plants from heavy rain, but one of the most overlooked methods is using pot feet. They’re very simple – pot feet just prop your pots up above the ground, allowing excess water to drain away. I told my friend to buy a few of these £1.99 terracotta pot feet from Amazon after her plants were flooded, and she hasn't had the problem since.
