    i have used baskets I got from the thrift stores. I set them in the corner of my yard. When my family sits on the patio we can look at the cute garden. I include flowers in the baskets too. I line the baskets with burlap which I get for a couple dollars at the farm stores, soil and plant different annuals and herbs in them. Then add some interesting visual art like colored vases and even fake flowers in baskets. Maybe porceline bunnies, etc. It's fun and different each year. Would send picture but I'm not sure how.

    I use coffee cans and this is Veronica. I love to recycle and save money it's good for our environment to

    Hey Sheryl, thanks for this great suggestion😂. What soil do you use in your buckets? 6a mi.

    Sheryl, have you ever used those garden bags? They come in a variety of gallon sizes (1, 2, 3, 5 and 10). They have handled to carry them around. I wanted some advice before I bought any.
    Also, I live in Colorado and rain is a very hit or miss proposition. I think we had about an inch all of last summer. Humidity runs about 15-20%. Even in winter, condensation can disappear by noon. Would base watering (soaking from the bottom) or spray be better?

  6. CLTserendipity

    Great tips, but please NEVER use pea gravel or rocks or anything in the bottom. It seems weird, but that will actually cause your water to pool up and stay in the container and you could easily drown your plants. It's called hydrological discontinuity and means the soil above the rocks/gravel would have to be absolutely saturated before it would pass through the rocks. Just trust me and leave them OUT.

    If you know anyone who owns a restaurant ask them if they have any food grade buckets. A lot of restaurant food supplies come in them. My brothers friend is happy to let me take them off his hands.

    I don't want to sound greedy when I ask this but….it kinda seems important to ask because well….what should you tell them what it's for because it seems like if you tell them what your doing….the employees will get the idea and then you no longer have that resource….FYI had this happen to me before 😑😒

    I used to get frosting buckets from a local bakery, but they started charging $1.50 each. Nope! Not doing that anymore! Thanks for your other bucket sources.

    On accident I left a 5 gal bucket near my blueberry bushes when I planted them a couple years ago. The bucket had a lot of rain water in it. I keep the bucket right there to catch the rain so I don’t have to keep hauling water.

  13. C F

    Do the buckets have to be food-grade? I’d be concerned chemicals from the bucket could leach into the soil and the plants. Thoughts, anyone?

  14. C F

    I put empty, stomped on water bottles to give my plants a little breathing space.

    I am so very glad I found your channel as I research before beginning my first container vegetable garden. Your suggestions have save me $$. Thank you for your advice and guidance.

    You are so awesome. I get my buckets at Walmart and pay a dollar each. Never thought about Sam’s and I have a Sam’s Club membership. I really like the white buckets better. I feel like you have more substantial grow in your room versus the round ones. That might just be me. In my neck of the woods I fight cats morning to use my raised beds and containers for litter boxes . I like the fence idea but at the moment I am cutting the fencing to the right side and lay it on top of my bucket and my raised beds and the cats do not mess with it now but it’s a lot of work. The plants work good growing through the holes. I guess I’m just ready for a change. I have everything I need to fence in my area , i’m gonna try it !! Thank you

    I've found in my area a lot of people throw out plastic coolers more than buckets and totes. I've picked up a couple and will see if they work (not the styrofoam ones).
