How to Make Drainage Holes In Pots Without a Drill

[@TheTrashHobbit]

I'm so glad I found other people who also can't use power tools, this worked really well!! Thanks!

[@DeaDiabola]

Omg I love this, I constantly lose my bits and drills!!! Thank you so much for this mama, I am going to make so many holes in pots today!

[@MysticJournaler]

🪴Absolutely Amazing! You are such a bright spot! Your instructions, tips and demo..are right on target! It's just what I was looking for, as I have watched several videos, all which and seemed risky.. re: breaking the pot. I look forward to trying this soon. I do not have a drill and didn't want to purchase one just to make holes so thank you very much. 🌻😊

[@donnacraig5225]

Thank you so much. I am about to start planting some flowers in some pots and I worried because I don't have a drill. Now I know i don't have to have a drill anyway. So, thank you so much. I just found your channel and am subscribing. You should make these videos regularly because you have such a great on camera presentation. You make everything look so easy. Your voice is great and keeps my attention and you are also beautiful. Those two things make a great video. And you sound like you know what you are talking about. I'm so glad I found your channel. I appreciate you sharing your time.

I just tried and it worked! Thank you 🙏 ❤

I use a drill and diamond bit hole drills (which come in a set of various sizes) and a spray bottle of water. I can drill into pots of more varied materials without breaking them. Your method works well on those pots of yours.

Thank you for the tip ☺glad to see your back .

[@711ad5]

this is great! i have a few pots that i want to use for growing herbs outside. and i have two practice ones i can start on, thanks for the tutorial!

[@mccorut]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Finally a common sense approach explained so well!

[@ericagreen4015]

Wow! I want to try this in my cover pots once it’s time to repot from their nursery pots.

[@anitajones7090]

So happy your back 🥰 thank you. You've saved me money.

[@shawnalamsargis1361]

Great idea and great video, as usual!

[@RootingMindfully]

Thank you 😊

[@jillianleblanc9370]

Thank you for sharing have a blessed day my friend ❤❤

[@donnasmalley3713]

Thank you! That is very cool. I am reluctant to borrow my husband's tools

[@sherryporsch9349]

Wow that was really fast !!! I’ve made drainage holes by using an old kitchen knife an going around an around, but it takes along time an arm muscle. This is much better. 💚

[@RootingMindfully]

Ohhhh that makes my elbow hurt thinking about it lol

[@naturalgalwilliams]

Hello friend. I recently repotted some propagations and other rootbound plants. I too had to put drainage holes to several pots, I used a drill bit for tile/porcelain.

[@MegaBaconLover]

I got a pot without a drainage hole today! This will work great.

[@RootingMindfully]

Awesome thank you 😊

[@lyndapknox3481]

Wow, that looks cool and easy!

[@catherinehetzler3078]

Thank you so much. I used to pay a handyman to come with a drill.

[@eyenoiknow]

Awesome!👍🏿🌱 I need to try this. Just bought a pot with one drainage hole in the middle but I prefer a few holes to make sure as much water is running through the pot when watered. Thanks!

[@DaugvinasLiberis]

This is completely unnecessary

[@marsf4883]

Oh, wow looks simple hehe. Will have to try it out, looks good. Yeah I don’t trust myself with a drill at all :P. Thanks for for showing us. :)

[@twistysunshine]

Thanks so much for the advice!

[@elegantgrannytv]

Thanks ! I'm definitely trying this method 🖤🧡

[@philotheake]

Thanks dear!!!!

[@memebzk5001]

Great vid, thx again

[@Luciwho1]

great tip!

[@josephrapp]

Good and useful!!

[@naturalgalwilliams]

My luck I'd shatter the pot..lol I think this would be easier for this application depending on the material of the pot. OneLove ❣

[@Robert_A_Keyboards4948]

You can do that, however, sometimes that pot will break open. The masonry bit or diamond drill bit is much safer and cleaner. Kudos for doing it that way and succeeding........😂

[@avaf1084]

Amazing. Thanks.

[@Unpotted]

Thanks. I would suggest eye protection, though. 😊 The pots are a nice size and pleasing shape. Where did you buy them? 😸✌️

[@CzlowiekDrzewo]

steady strokes 😳

[@Mina_Loyal]

Amazing

[@rogue7923]

I do it using a hammer and a nail. it will chip away a bit on the inside, just the portion surrounding the hole, but it won't crack or anything like that.

[@karenmyers9146]

Very nice and simple but should use safety glasses to prevent flying debris in your eyes. Safety first

[@shereecook6617]

That is an ok way but might I suggest that you buy a cheaper Phillips tip screwdriver to hammer on. The one your using has several different sections that pull out, flip around for other tips and hex head ends. By hammering on the screwdriver you screw up the rest of tips and that is a very handy screwdriver to have, like 11 in 1 and not cheap.

[@caprisuncancermoon4989]

Cool

[@RootingMindfully]

Thanks

[@DeeEvaBlack]

💙🙏

[@marylrobinson6099]

If they don’t have holes, I just use them as cover pots. 💚

[@RootingMindfully]

That’s a good idea. I don’t know why I have an aversion to cover pots. Lol 😂

[@christineribone9351]

What a beautiful young lady you are!! 😊☺

[@jmuss08]

I usually use plastic pots and just stab holes with scissors 😂

[@kimberleyhorton2891]

Just buy a drill seriously!

[@RootingMindfully]

Why?

[@karenb136]

I have done that with plastic pots and a Phillips screwdriver and hammer because I don’t have a soldering gun. I have a drill but it’s kind of awkward to use for me. Thanks for the video. 💚🪴🌱🌿💚
