| I was wondering how you fill your ceramic pots so that they can be easily moved for winter storage. I don't want to fill mine completely with potting soil or I will never be able to move it. Any suggestions? |

| I fill them as normal, but I put them on wheeled carts that are specially made for large planters. |

| I turn a plastic pot upside down and put in the bottom of the larger pot and fill around it with packing peanuts. Works great and helps with drainage. |

| Packing peanuts have worked for me. The only problem is that if you want to empty your pots and re-use the potting soil, you have to pick the packing peanuts out of the dirt because it all mixes together to some extent. ... I use soda cans, yogurt containers, even juice bottles in the bottom of my pots. |

| Late to the conversation, but... I use packing peanuts, but I contain them inside plastic shopping bags, like the ones Target insists on foisting on us. Fill the bag 2/3 of the way, tie it shut, and tuck it into the bottom of the pot. It's much easier to clean up at the end of the season! |
