If your urban planter boxes are holding too much water, adding extra drainage holes is a simple and effective solution. First, ensure your planter is completely empty and dry. For plastic or wooden planters, a standard power drill with a twist bit suitable for the material will work. For ceramic, concrete, or glazed pots, you must use a masonry drill bit to prevent cracking. Mark your desired hole locations on the bottom, spacing them evenly. Place the planter on a stable, secure surface. Start drilling at a slow speed with light, steady pressure. For hard materials, keep the bit cool by occasionally dripping water on the drilling point. Once the holes are drilled, smooth any rough edges with sandpaper. This DIY fix enhances drainage, prevents soil waterlogging, and promotes healthier plant roots by reducing the risk of rot. Always wear safety glasses during the process.
