5 Gallon bucket ideas

Yeah I know once again its been a long time me updating this blog. I only come back to it when I am looking for something I wrote or updating. Here is my next ideas for our farm the 5 gal buckets. You can get these for free a lot or dirt cheap. This was my strawberry after we first planted it, I wished I would have taken another later it got quite full of strawberry's and its Jan it still alive. I have covered it on below 30 days with a trash bag it seems to have done well.

I was actually going to write some more but I noticed there is a website that he has done all the work so I am just going to include it if I don't see something I don't see on his site I will list it.

I like this idea. I don't know where to get these buckets, but a friend's uncle grew tomatoes in them and everyone said they were the best around. Where do you get yours?

I know someone that worked at a grocery store who got me a few plus I got a lot from someone on craigslist that was just giving them away for free. I grabbed all he had and gave him some pecans for the trade. You can also try bakerys or car washes.
