Now that you have the basics of this system by watching the first two videos I share with you my “ultimate container”. I don’t know of a better container to produce more food in less space than this ultimate container. Due to many reasons including the variations of plants, the density of planting and the ability to stack these containers make them the ultimate container for container gardening. Imagine being able to grow forty plants in a one foot area!

Make perfect sense!
But what about the NON sunny side of the bucket?
Just a tip for the fertiliser feeding. You could have a pvc stand pipe with holes drilled in it that you stand in the middle of the bucket. That way you can feed fertilizer to all the soil when you want and it will be evenly distributed
It has been a few years since this video. Do you still use this method of bucket gardening? Do you have a more recent video of results, improved ideas? I have not had much luck with making many pockets in a self-wicking bucket system.
Eye XD don't know if you know this, I found out when I saw topsey turvey's @ my local WalMart. They use a spongue to keep potting soil from being wasted. It covered the planting hole.
LDSPepper…do us a favor and answer questions that have been posted here, please, otherwise what is the point if you don't communicate with us?
Have you done an update video showing how the plants are doing and any modifications you've made?
I always see people mention free buckets but haven't spotted them on Craigslist. Where do you pick up free buckets?
Great video. Agree with the size of the container – better than a drum. And nice trick with the nylon.
Hope those buckets are food grade buckets and not the free cancer plastic that breaks down when the sun beats on it all day .. Like drinking water out of a plastic bottle that's been in your car all day !
dirt is falling out from 2 inch holes any idea of some kind of covers? wanna put is inside the apartment
If ur wanted to could you just leave the top open and water it?
What do you do with the runners from the plant?
You should sell the buckets cause this would take me all summer to do and I'm sure I'd lose a finger
I'm going to use this idea in the rain gutter [kiddie pool] thanks.
I followed these instructions. All of my plants are growing great. I did line the buckets with gardening weed fabric because the mix kept falling out of the holes. I fashioned up 5 buckets. Three I used the auto wicking bottom section. 2 buckets just have the breather holes on the bottom. After about the 3rd bucket I just started making the grow holes by eyeballing the spacing. In other words wherever just as long as they were spaced. I have some plants in separate azalea pots and they do not hold a match to the growth I am getting using this bucket method. Thank you.
I have a question on the strawberry plants. The flowers are blooming now. Am I supposed to pluck them and wait for the next bloom before I allow for the berries to form?
Love it!
How do you cut the holes in the plastic buchet
Why not put some more holes in the top lit?
Very interesting! Where is the best place to get the hardware to connect to the faucet? Any recommendations on which retailer to use. Look forward to th next video where I hope you will use a larger container.
👋👍👍👍👍😊😊
Don't you have trouble with dirt falling out the side?
The tubing is much smaller on this system, than on the first system, where you planted from above. What size tubing, grommets, and water holes in the side do you use to connect the buckets together?
I like the idea, the only thing is I did not see how you are going to watter tha plants .
bad
could you give some more details on stacking them? what's the best way to get the water to travel up to the stacked bucket on top? I want a stack with 3 buckets, can you give me any advice? thanks great video.
Aero garden…Will this work for one?
Couldn't you use straws with holes in them from top to bottom to distribute fertilizers?…essentially fertilizer "sticks" for equal dissemination. Or use tubing or old hose.
U can add a pipe with worms too
Thank you like the idea
good idea
Nice volume on your video. Thank you
saves space and time nice work
You could use composted manure, mix that into the potting mix, and then not have the salt problem with the synthetic fertilizer.
Question.
How much space or room does a strawberry plant need?
Just germinated some seeds and I've got about 32 seedlings that just popped a few days ago. In a regular pot how many plants can I plant in a pot?
And what size pot is suitable?
How much space do they need?
Thank you for sharing. I'm learning a lot from watching your Container Gardening videos. Look forward to doing more of this soon.
Organic fertilizers do not contain harmful salts that contaminate soil and create hardpan as artificial chemical fertilizers. You can put a section of perforated drainpipe in the center, add grinded up kitchen scrape mix in some soil or high carbon material, like saw dust from untreated wood, and yard waste, to supply organic compost to plants around it.
Please give an explanation of how the siphoning works
This man is smart.
