Hi Redsonic,
I can't see from the picture if these baskets have holes in the bottom. If they don't I would highly recommend putting holes in the bottom to assist drainage.

Yes Ray, the bottom has a section of holes about the same as the ones on the side.

So I picked up two colanders the other day, just general pasta type ones but they look about the right size so I can give them a go.
Anyway, having never used them before just wondering if my plan for use is about right.
I just picked up a small Callistemon and E. Gunnii as nursery stock and from my reading I should look at repotting the Cally now so was thinking to give it a prune back now and and root trim to fit the colander.
Is that the general idea or is the a good reason not to do that?
I'm not planning on ground planting the colander and will probably just use a generic soil mixed with gravel.

That was my understanding. Good luck!
I'm still looking for a cheap source, the ratty $2 store near me thinks $6 is the new $2....
