As a rule, it's a good idea to overfill the tube by about 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm). When smoothed, this will create a rounded upper surface that's more attractive and encourages drainage.

[7] X Research source We would use a 5 gallon plastic drum, similar to the large feb containers, cut top and bottom of, cut straight up the side, then compress it to required diameter, hold together with tying wire.
