Thank you SOOOOO much for your clear instruction! This ol' mama will be able to make my own. Big hugs!

So happy to be of assistance!

I used a Milwaukee multi tool with a drywall 180degree blade. Works extremely well.

[@papabearspepperchannel8604]

Nice! Thanks for the suggestion!

Thx for rhe vid! I suggest doing an update vid with potential improvements in the original design and shating your trials and tribulations. 😊

[@papabearspepperchannel8604]

Thanks @pongo1, I appreciate it! I really never changed anything on this concept. Although with any time there's a separation, I always apply a landscape fabric! I do admit though, I am evolving to Bootstrap Farmer 25 gallon fabric pots, they're nothing short of amazing to grow in!

If you use a woodburner to make your holes, you'll never crack the plastic and have a very clean edge with no mess.

[@papabearspepperchannel8604]

Thanks for the tip!

Using a dremel-like tool (cheap at harbor frieght) helps finish-up the shapes/edges in the plastic. Slowly using it along the inside edges makes a fantastic clean hole/shape. That plastic can easily crack with bits and blades.

Oh, sorry, meant to say....Thanks for sharing. nice job.

Thank you so much!

If you grind the cutting edge of the bit, it will scrape the plastic and not chip or grab.

[@papabearspepperchannel8604]

Thanks for the input!

Smaller than needed hole for the basket so the basket just sets down in the hole and not fall through??

[@dreamingrightnow1174]

How much of an air gap did you put between the drain hole and the soil? It looked very close.

[@papabearspepperchannel8604]

The drain holes (one on each end) are just below the divider's height, so there is roughly 1/2" gap

Nice job, Thank you for sharing.
