Any advice on drilling holes in a container to use for a balcony garden?
Like hole size, placement, etc?
This is what I have in mind. Let me know what you think!
Edit: it's a 215mm (8.5") pot that I will be planting letteuce in
You're viewing a single thread.
The placement you laid out looks good but without knowing the size of the pot, it’s hard to tell what size bit. Maybe a 1/2”-3/4” bit? And mayyybe adding another 2 holes.
One thing I would recommend though is to use a small bit to start your hole, then move up to the bigger bit. Don’t put too much pressure on the drill so you don’t crack the plastic. Let the drill and bit do the work.
Stepper bits work well for adding holes in these kinds of pots
I was going to recommend the same thing but add in a debur tool.
It really does not need to be that complicated. Any bit will quickly go through that plastic.
Great tips! I added more details to my post to include the size and intended use.
