13. Create Drainage Holes in Planters

Supplies required: Planter, drill
Making It: Free if you already own a drill
One of the most crucial aspects of gardening is ensuring that plants have enough drainage. But most of us don’t really give it enough thought. Purchasing a lovely planter and placing a plant inside with the hope that it will remain healthy for its whole life is a simple process.
Drill Drainage Holes in Planters
Take a drill and drill a few holes in the planter’s bottom, rather than leaving it to chance. If you already own the drill, it’s a two-second task that won’t cost you anything, but it can save you a ton of time and work.
14. Create Imaginative Planters Out of Wellies

Materials required: dirt, plants, and old wellies
Making It: $5–$10*
Purchasing planters that are more than just simple plastic containers may get expensive, significantly increasing the cost of your garden. Have a look in your shoe closet to see if you have any old Wellington boots sitting around, rather than spending a lot of money on anything fancy.
Transform Wellies Into Imaginative Planters
The boots can be used as planters that you can hang or stand in your garden by filling them with dirt. In addition to being a creative and one-of-a-kind feature, it recycles, so you can beautify your garden and save the environment at the same time.
