Trust me I do ...I start my Maters In My Cajunboy 5 gallon AiroBucket ...

is the cone shapes to keep light out,perhaps there is a reason why its not a good idea on a regular black deeper than wide plant pot ?

I recently did it with several pots. Hopefully it will allow more oxygen to enter.

the cone shape is so the roots follow it , in turn they grow outwards , reaching the outside of the pot

simply drilling holes could work , but not as well , roots tend to skip right over the hole and continue circling inside the pot , especially if the holes are drilled from the outside of the pot leaving a lil lip on the inside , if done this way it is best to take sand paper and sand the lip off

peace
