Flower Buckets....Again

[womble]

Only drill them when they are warm! Found out the hard way

[VirginVegGrower]

We have too - OH cracked first one but all the rest he's drilled just dandy. We cut a few bottoms out to use as tompots in growbags, like the ring culture growpots?!

[sall2009]

If your drill is compact, try drilling from the inside with the pot sitting on some soil. Shouldn't crack then.

Or use a smaller bit for a pilot hole first

I just put them on the grass on a warm day and poke holes in them with an old phillips screwdriver, had about 2 out of 30 crack and they were still useable.

Doesn't matter It's the force you put on them. I drill all mine on the sides btw, to leave a small reservoir on the bottom.

I do that as well, then it means i've got a reservoir to keep the plans going if I go away for a few days.

Ah, I was doing mine in the bottom so I can water into trays etc.

Might try that with a few though see how it compares.

I do mine in a bucket, but obviously only the dwarf ones, my tall toms go in the ground.
