Care to explain why? I always put packing peanuts or Styrofoam chunks in the bottom of larger pots, usually mixed in with organic medium. I find the inert styro materials help to keep drainage open in the bottom of the pot, without breaking down. Repurposing peanuts/styro also saves me from having to use more bark to pot a plant.
