Techniques - Preparing a pot to receive a tree
That method of securing the mesh is fine, but sometimes we have smaller drainage holes near the outside of the pot. This is also true of pots for shohin which are also smaller.
Alternative style for securing clip

On the left we have the shape that we can use in the circumstances mentioned above.

Below the method of doing this is shown.

   
To make the wire shape for securing the mesh take a straight piece of 2mm wire One right angled bend is made
Measurements are taken for the next bend
     
The second right angled bend is made It is checked in the hole to check it fits The wire is passed through the mesh
     
The underside of the pot shows the wire ends bent back Inside of the pot shows mesh helh in position.
