3. Use Old Cans to Preserve Soil
Materials Required: Old pots and empty cans
*Cost to Make: $0* (if you have them already)

Drainage will be improved using these pots and cans. Additionally, they will make air pockets in the planter, which promotes healthier soil through aeration. Even though spike or plug aerators are typically used for soil aeration, this do-it-yourself method is far less expensive because you probably already have cans sitting around.
