Random question for the Fediverse: Has anyone tried drilling a hole in a terracotta/clay plant pot with a mortar drill? (I am finding my diy olla pots have too small of a hole to fill easily, and want to make bigger holes... without shattering the pots).

(answer seems to be: YES, do it slowly. Thanks all!!)

Ceramic drill bits (borrowed from @W6KME) did rhe trick . Used a battery drill, lol, as I was running a hose to lubricate and cool the cut. Biggest issue was hole alignment. This fixes the issue I had with trying to fill them. This does not fix the issues the "two pots joined together" has. #gardening
