Kinda curious would I need pea gravel or a drainage layer under my soil/peat moss in a enclosure that I would be planting plants and grass in?
Hi, Austin.
I agree with Granpa, no pea gravel.
I don't use anything, just grow the plants in ordinary substrate which should be moist enough anyway.
Don't need to flood the place.

Planning on putting 6-8 inches of soil over it and maybe it's a possibility. Plus it's for newborn sulcatas. Then again drainage layer might not be needed. XD
I'm no expert on this (or anything come to think of it) but could the gravel draw the moisture out of your substrate so you might have to keep adding water anyway. I'm sure someone will correct me if my thinking's way out.
