Hey #gardening Masto, do you have suggestions for drainage? I have some hanging containers left over from the landlord, and I just realized they have 0 drainage. Should I just drill holes in the bottom, or is there a better solution?

@deathmlem One modification we make over the drilled hole approach is to cut out a length of screen fabric and place it over the hole before filling in dirt. It’s cheap from a hardware store, ensures adequate drainage, and ensures moist dirt stays in the planter.

But yeah, uncovered drill holes are also usually fine.
