Hello abyrd19. Welcome to Dendroboard!!

This website has been here for a good while now and as such has a PLETHORA of information at your very disposal. Most of the more common questions can be answered by doing a little ol' fashion digging.

From what it sounds like, your gravel/tree fern "false bottom" won't actually do you any good in terms of a false bottom. This is b/c water can still wick upwards through the gravel AND the tree fern and saturate your soil. You may want to research the egg crate style false bottom.

Good luck!!
