Some of mine,in fact most of mine are filled. I learned the false bottom trick too late on DG.
The containers stay outside all winter and I top off in spring with compost and more potting soil,mix in as far down as I can reach.
This one of a pair of containers have a 16 inch planter that drops into the tops.Just dumb luck that worked out the way it did.
Its not so much the weight but the expense of filling every year.
If there is a container with a whole lot of root growth that takes out a lot of soil when I take annuals out at end of season,that container gets a false bottom and new soil mix.
