| Regardless of the type, be sure pots to have drainage holes, and use pot feet or shims to raise them about a half-inch off the ground to allow water to drain away. |
1. Why is 'be sure pots to have' ungrammatical?
2. What words or phrases can 'be sure pots to have' be replaced with?
Thank you. |

You don't need a "to" in this case. It means "be sure that the pots have drainage holes" or you can drop the "that" and say, "be sure the pots have drainage holes." |
