What size drill do I use to make the 2 bottom holes and 2 top holes? Also, what should be the space between them... Or does it not have to be so precise?
Can I make the holes now before my jars have even been colonized?

About 2 inch. Heat up a soup can with a propane torch and poke it through. Works great

Between 1-2" in diameter.
2 on each long side at substrate level, about 5-6 inches from the corners.
And then 1 on each short side, up top centered.
My holes are 1-1/8".

A soup can? Isn't that a large hole, more than 2 inches? Also, if my substrate should fill up to the 3inch line, how many inches up from the bottom should my long side 2inch holes be?

Make several smaller holes close to each other, to sort of perforate the tub. Make them in the shape you want the size of your final hole. Then use a knife (can even heat it up) and cut along the perforation. The mushies won't mind if it's not a perfect circle..

Should I just use the soup can for all holes?
