How do you clean your drain holes?

But the passage has angle to it, when I tried to pull out the leaves and what looked like dirt from a flower pot, with my finger I couldn't really get it out so its more than likely going to get backed up again. Anyone have a good method to clean this?

I keep mine clean by not allowing anything to get in them.

I was all set to buy the drain screens.. until I saw the outrageous shipping charges.

I did all mine a couple of days ago and a length of rubber fuel pipe is perfect for the job to get round the bends

Yeah, just do what 911monty suggests. Cheap. Easy. I made 4 of them in very little time. Mine are "innies" as opposed to monty's "outties" but they work just fine. I thought about buying the official screens and just balked at spending that kind of money on something that's so easy to make myself for a couple bucks.

The SoCal climate is a great assist.
