Get a piece of 1 1/2" or 2" PVC pipe (depending on the size of the pot) a few inches longer than the height of the pot. Hold it in the center of the pot as you fill with soil and plants. Once you get a few inches of soil in the pot, the pipe will stand on its own. At the end, fill the pipe with sand, then pull the pipe up and out, which leaves a central column of sand that takes water readily. The whole contents of the pot can be dumped into the compost heap at the end of the season.
