If however, you decide to make your own, all you have to do is take the drill to the bottom of the boxes. Drill holes across the bottom board, don't be stingy with the holes. You're better off having too many than too few. Use some door screen fabric (found at Home Depot) or other mesh fabric to screen the holes and make sure you don't lose all your dirt. My "le cheapo" boxes are about seven years old, and the only issue I have is that I have to water them daily...but sure beats needing new siding, LOL!<BR/>http://ads.millstores.com/FSI/Ad.aspx?advid=200083&loc=&fsi=9961&version=v1&facing=false&pagenum=4&adid=6669711Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563689842824628301noreply@blogger.com
