Abstract
Method of making a molded container for potted plants from a sheet of organic polymer, is molded in one piece from a sheet of organic polymer material. Rigidity is provided by a peripheral solid lip formed with a horizontally extending lower surface and convexly curved upper surface. One or more drainage apertures are formed through the bottom wall of the container by limited vertical shearing eliminating waste and permitting adjacent portions to be strengthened and raised to dispose the aperture above a supporting surface. In molding the container, a strap of serrated steel is used to cut through the sheet material to define the outer edge of the container lip.
