How do you buy smaller bags of Portland cement? 90 lbs are too heavy for me to lift.

I love these! How does she do the drainage holes? Can you use drill bits??

[@killiancreekgardens2467]

I drill holes in the bottom for drainage using a masonry drill bit. You can also just use a dowel or your finger to make a drainage hole when making your pots.
