Step 3Pipes!
I used a standard bit of drainpipe which I found in a skip. Remember, reduce, reuse and recycle. This is Reuse!
1st pic is me drilling the pipe - note I didn't bother with tape to ensure spiting/cracking. This pipe isn't very brittle. Plus you're not going to see it and split/cracked pipe will just give you more drainage.
2nd pic is an assortment of holes. No plan, just make some holes. It's about dispersing the water over a large internal surface area.
3rd pic shows how much spare pipe I've got.
4th pic shows me reducing the pipe length. You need to cut it roughly in line with the top of the planter.
