Happy discovery a stable bottom

I use 3 oz solo cups for leaves and small plants; my main complaint with them is they are not very stable and fumbly me manages to knock one over way to often.
Today, I realized the cap from a 64 oz plastic bottle (of juice) will fit the cup bottom perfectly. Voila! It does not tip as easily.

It is a simple matter to burn a hole into the cap and cup with a heated screwdriver, In the photo I illustrate side holes in the cup; I doubt I will go that far; just thought I would suggest as an alternative way to water.

Very clever,Lane.I am always knocking things over.

How do you heat the screwdriver? I poke holes with a knife and accidentally got myself once.

jamjew. just let the tip of the screwdriver (or any other metal object-like a nail) set over the flame of a stove eye (a candle would work, too) for a few minutes. Then just push it against the plastic it will go right through.

I used to have a small soldering iron to poke hole into all sorts of plastic pots. Worked nice
In our club the ladies made 2 rows of holes toward the bottom of the pots for airation. They felt it helped the plant roots and promoted growth.I Don't do this now as i don't grow for show...Helene

That's some great tricks ya'll have! I'm going to try.

Great idea! Less mess = less cleaning = :)
