[anonymuss]

hey all i need to know where to buy some 5 gallon buckets. i got some rootbound little bitches and they are not liking it.

I would just go to home depot but i am minus a car and cant lug all the shit i need on the bus.

Any ideas who ELSE might carry buckets i can use for soil?

Don't you have a local farmers co-op, or a tractor supply company or something like that?

I've had a lot of luck tracking down 5 and 6 gallon buckets just by asking bakeries and restaurants (a few people have mentioned this). A lot of places get their oil/liquid eggs/etc. shipped in these containers and are happy to part with them, often for free if you pick them up. I call ahead to ask, and just tell them I use them for gardening, which is totally true! A few places even put them aside for me and called me when they had some empties.

Just use grow bags if your using soil, so much easier and convenient.

But if u need em for dwc then the bakery/restaurant idea the above suggested works good.

The orange buckets from home depot suck for hydro but will be fine for dirt. they let alot of light in, but the silver lowes buckets are lightproof.

one can never have too many buckets for pot. I pick up four or five everytime I go to lowes. working up to a hundred so I can have a 25 plant perpetual grow
