I am then left with a 9 cm deep container for planting in, which should be ideal. Do you think I need side holes for ventilation as the planting medium will only be about 8cm deep?
Plus, I can screw the saucer to the brick to make the planting more stable.
I thought that a layer of styrofoam pellets would accumulate debris, and be too lightweight.

I really like the saucer idea. I never would have thought of that but it's a very inventive solution to the problem. Good job.
