I have an old plastic 55gal drum in my barn that the top was cut off of - used as a trash can... i saw this video on youtube on cutting slots and heating up the plastic enough to remold it with a piece of wood so it creates pockets that stick out....and then putting a perf pipe in the middle to be able to water all the way to the bottom.  I'm so turning that black trash barrel into a huge strawberry planter this spring!  I've had issues with the little tiny black beetles on my berries in the old bed in the garden... hoping with this on the patio and the plants hanging out and not laying on the dirt it will help with the bug issues.
