IMHO there really is no need to cut any additional holes in a pot used
to put plants in. They wuill do just fine with regular nursery pots..
If your afraid of dirt etc eventually filtering out of the pots, just
put in some fiber filter batting before you put n the dirt.

It will clear, just give it some time. Its not going to be the first
time either, as its inevitable your gonna have potted plants get
tipped be it form wht eind or critters its gonna happen..
