Aren't these a great buy, Holly? I get them to start off my dahlias in. I use a metal BBQ skewer heated over the gas hob. to make drainage holes.

Great arnt they David.... ive got loads to plant in them.....i make the holes with a screwdriver....... your idea sounds good might try that.....

I use an electric drill - maybe thats a bit of overkill :)

I use the drill on thicker troughs and planters, Gee, but even then, I often take out the whole base by being too heavy-handed or speedy, hehe!

Screwdriver is good, too, Holly, especially heated up - no pressure required.
