- 1). Turn the pot upside down. Mark the center of the pot with a permanent marker. Make three more marks around the sides of the pot, next to the bottom edge. Space the three marks equally apart.
- 2). Fit a power drill with a ½-inch bit. Wear safety goggles when operating the drill.
- 3). Drill a hole at each of the three marks around the side of the pot. Drill through the mark in the center of the pot bottom.
- 4). Line the bottom of the pot with a coffee filter. The filter prevents the soil from washing out of the drainage holes.
- 5). Fill the pot with soil and sow your plants inside. Set the pot on top of a drip saucer to catch the excess water as it drains from the pot at each watering.
