cork bark elm and trident maple, and to be honest with ya these two were my first layers :D im not complaining 100% strike rate :D so yea i cant say if the air holes helped but i dont see how they couldnt, we push fresh air into the soil when we water and this helps the roots on our trees so i figured why not with a layer too :D

i will get some picks this weekend if i get time :D

jamie :D
