You are right...it is due to poor drainage (and a lack of oxygen that causes such odours). Do you place broken clay-pot pieces inside to cover the bottom pot holes? I am surprised that your plants didn't die if the soil was so badly water-logged. I would have rather air-dried those pots for few days before refilling them with fresh earth.new gardener wrote:few days back i remove the soil from few of my pots and i noticed that the soil beneath the pots is Black in Color and smelling like i opened a sewer.. literally the smell is unbearable.. i suppose its due to lack of drainage but the thing i wana ask is that is that soil is unusable now.. or i can use it again after letting it dry in the sun ?
