I took a length of PVC pipe (length of pipe=height of pot), put a cap on one end and drilled holes around the pipe.
I inserted the pipe in the middle of the pot (capped end down) & added soil & plants.
Oh, I stuck a rag in the top of the pipe while planting so I wouldn't pour soil into the pipe.
The pipe should be a little higher than the soil line. It will be hidden as the plants on top grow & hide it.
When watering, I pour water directly into the pipe. It will drain out the holes along the pipe.
Sort of watering from within.

The pot I have is a BIG one. I used a pipe with a 1" diameter.
I was trying to find a pic that was taken before the plants grew around it but couldn't.
In this shot, you can just barely see the pipe, hidden by the marigolds.
