Just like to get some opinions on something. Obviously sempervivum and other succulents need good drainage. In building wooden containers, do you think they would be better with a hardware cloth (wire "grid") bottom covered in weed barrier cloth (to retain the soil), or do you think a wooden bottom with holes drilled in it would be better. My concern about the wooden bottoms is retaining too much water and rot.

What do you think?
