Cut out a circle of landscape fabric and put it inside the colander.

This will keep the potting soil from spilling out of the holes, but will also allow excess water to drain out of the colander.

Add some potting soil.

Don’t add too much because the roots and soil from your plants will take up quite a bit of space.

    That is so pretty and looks simple, just have to get supplies .Payday is next Wed. so hope can make it to Lowes for what is needed to make this. Want to find some smaller colanders for similar project saw yesterday on blogland. Need to keep up so dog/cat can’t get to plants. So glad you shared this, will be really nice to have out on front porch, gets too hot on back deck as it faces due West, sun will cremate plants when it gets hotter. Have to keep plants in containers as our ground has so much alkali in it.
    Happy daze
