Everyone enjoys planting seedlings and watching our labors pay off when the plant grows. Planting, though, can be a bit untidy. Every time you water a potted plant, dirt frequently spills out the bottom, making cleanup time-consuming.

Dirt Stopper for Coffee Filter @1smartwife/PPinterest
Before you fill the pot with earth, one way to block this leakage is to lay a coffee filter at the base. While allowing water to pass through and preventing the plant from being waterlogged, the filter prevents dirt from leaking. When you water your plant, clean water will now run from the bottom of the pot rather than a pool of dirt.
