Make a Kiddie Pool into a Garden Planter

By Kerry Michaels, About.com Guide

The first step is to cut drainage holes in the bottom of your kiddie pool with your utility knife. This isn’t difficult if you have a sharp blade. Cut lots of large holes (approximately 1” square, but this is only a guideline, they can be any size or shape that’s easy to cut) in the bottom of your pool. I used a combination of drilling and cutting for the holes. You want to make sure you have good drainage.
