Description

:

Components of the 5-gallon bucket garden container. (2) 5-gallon buckets, (1) lid, (1) 16oz. Solo or Dixie plastic cup, (1) 18" length of 1"OD rigid aquarium tube. I cut a 3-1/2-inch hole in the bottom of one bucket, as well as 16 3/8" holes for soil aeration. A 16-ounce plastic Solo or Dixie cup placed in the hole serves as the "wick" for the potting mix to absorb water. Cutting slits in it allows the water to pass through.
