Food grade buckets are what everyone wants to use to grow their food in.
is the Tractor Supply buckets appeared than a low or Home Depot bucket let’s find out in the corner of my backyard I actually have a Goji Bush growing in a 5 gallon bucket and it is from Tractor Supply and in the middle of my backyard I have this upside down tomato plant with basil growing right on top of it and right here we actually have a regular bucket and know it’s not from Lo or Home Depot but I know they don’t do what Tractor Supply buckets do see Tractor Supply buckets have this nice little stamp on them right here and notice it says food grade on it and I’m pretty sure that food grade label is there because Tractor Supply knows their potential Customer because their customer is my customer is people that’s trying to grow their own food Homestead and do all that mess now loads of Home Depot customers their customers don’t really care about what’s in that bucket because that’s a home improvement or construction based company so you won’t see that label on loads or Home Depot buckets or at least I haven’t seen one yet so if you’re trying to grow your own food maybe you want to just stick to tra Supply buckets

The recycling triangle will tell you the type of plastic it is. Which is on most all plastics and I'm pretty sure lowes buckets are food safe. So that "food safe" sticker probably just an up sale.
How is your basil and tomato plants so big? Planet of my in the same time you did and yours is twice the size of mine
Thanks, I did not know that.😊
Lowes has buckets marked food grade you just got look for it and pay a premium for it at my lowes they for some reason are with the paint supplies.
They are ALL food grade. Your paying more for paint.
Food grade is about storing food in the container, not about growing in it.
I have German restaurant near me. I can have as many food grate buckets as I like. They buy sourkraut in it. 👍👍
Lowes has them, don't sell them at every location but they have them
I bought my buckets from Home Depot and they have food grade safety stickers on them.
Menards sells food grade buckets and construction buckets.
The blue buckets are the worst. Not even sure what they are made of but after 1 year outside all of mine broke into pieces when i tried to pick them up. Next to that are the home depot buckets tge orange ones. The silver buckets hold up the best of those three. But i have not tried the tractor supply buckets.
All you have to do is look at the labeling on the bottoms, they are almost all food safe per the markings on the bottom. Look it up, I wouldn’t lie to you.
We bought food grade buckets from lowes as well as gamma lids for food storage. They just aren't with the regular buckets, and they are not branded, just plain white.
😮💨 I bet you use synthetics. That bucket say boa free for food storage and for brewing beer their champ
TS will take your money and give to the rainbow/transmission people. They don’t care about their customers.
Walmart's buckets are food grade.
They do have food grade buckets and lids at Home Depo in the paint isle. I'm not sure about Lowe's.
Thanks for the info
I make wine in mine 😅
You can get food grade buckets at home Depot but the home Depot bucket is not food grade
OK Bucket!
In my area tractor supply is about a dollar cheaper per bucket also
Stop using buckets and get fabric pots!
Or just get the buckets from the bakery. Food grade and cheapest out there.
Dang! I just bought 15 buckets from lowes this month for growing. But I'm glad i know know.
Why wouldn't you just buy landscaping pots from Ace hardware? Or better yet plant in the ground?
Regular hardware stores like Lowe's home Depot and Menards all carry both types of buckets… Food grade quality buckets are just more expensive
Wait how did you do the tomato at the bottom and Basil at the top???
Growing tomatoes really matter if it's a food grade bucket? It's not like you're eating the dirt in the bucket 😂
They are also partially owned by black rock and had major issues with their feed during the egg shortage. Almost like it was a coordinated effort
Plastic is Plastic grow it in the ground
home Depot sells food grade buckets. I ferment wine in them
Cheaper, but all about that GAA lqbtqlmnop……..but hey, who cares what your dollar is supporting? Sellout
