I have some tubs which are 50cm. diameter by 35cm. high, which I would like to use for growing veg. in, what I would like to know is the best place to put the drainage holes should I drill holes about 3cm. from the base or drill holes on the base of the tubs.

I'd go for putting them in the base of the tubs. For flower buckets I use an 8 or 10mm drill bit and leave them upturned in the sunshine (if there is any!) to warm up a little before drilling so the plastic is a little less likely to snap and crack.Last edited by vikkib; 23-04-2013, 05:16 AM.

Is that some diet fad you have there, or are you just a fussy eater to have millions of pot noodle pots?

I have tried both in the side and bottom of containers. I find the major advantage of side drilling is they don't block as easlily.
All the holes I make in plastic are done with a hot piece of copper tube, very quick, no chance of spilts and it leaves a reinforcing ring of plastic around the hole.
