My Bucket Garden

When deciding to begin your bucket garden, it is more important to spend your funds where your going to get the best bang for your buck; seed, plants and potting soil etc. Your container garden can be made up from literally anything that constitutes a box, pot or container that you have lying around that can hold soil and your vegetable crops.

A Bucket garden consisting of 5 gallon plastic buckets can be very beneficial to the weekend warrior in several ways:

One of the benefits of a container garden is its portability. If you live in a home that does not provide optimal conditions for a stationary garden, bucket gardens can provide the flexibility you need to address issues like; minimal access to sunlight, strong wind conditions and animal invaders like the dreaded bunny. A bucket garden is a little tougher for animals to access and can be surrounded by fencing if needed.

If you live in a condo or apartment, access to a private plot of land to grow vegetables may not be available. The large 5 gallon container can provide a small area for you to have your own piece of land for the herbs and vegetables you desire. Although they are not visually pleasing, they can easily be dressed up with some pastel paint for designs that add a bit of flair to your plastic 5 gallon bucket.
