This kit adds the Drill Bit and 10 Reservoir Plugs to the DIY 10-pk. Use the Drill Bit as directed to cut the hole in your buckets. The red Plugs are an optional feature used to reseal your bucket once the grommet is installed. With this kit you'll get 10 Root Seekers, 10 Rubber Grommets, 10 red Plugs, and a drill bit. Done correctly, your "home-built" systems will work as good as ours!
