I have a really deep planter and at the bottom I turned a plastic plant pot upside down figuring it would take up space and still provide drainage because of the holes in the bottom. First year I have had this deep planter...hope this idea will work.
Also a disappointment....after our terrible winter before last when my pfitzer junipers on the hillside suffered so terribly, I pruned them way back and thought they would recover/regrow. So far they are not doing so.
