It is Easy To Make a Bucket Garden

Bucket Garden

As food costs increase and families look to economize in creative ways, home vegetable gardens are becoming more common across the land.  In some situations, a major challenges to new gardeners is to discover a appropriate design that is inexpensive and can be portable, if necessary. Consider a bucket garden.

Portability is a very important aspect, if you live in a home that doesn’t provide perfect conditions for a “still” garden.  Some of the situations that can require portability may include minimal access to sunlight, powerful wind conditions or animal control.  A bucket garden is a very simple way to begin your journey toward food autonomy. 

If you are doubts about venturing down the path of becoming a plant grower, you can start small with one or two 5-gallon buckets.  Most begin with the basic plants like tomatoes, peppers, peas or green beans before going full bore.  You can also start small with herbs like basil or parsley before tackling vegetables. 

To start, you can go to any garden store to get the following Materials:

  1. One or two 5 gallon buckets
  2. Potting Soil
  3. Tomato or Pepper plants or you preferred plants
  4. Fertilizer

Most 5 gallon buckets come in white, but you can purchase different colors to emphasize your garden theme.  You can add a little pizazz to your bucket garden by dressing up the 5 gallon containers with some paint.  Pastel colors and flowery designs cluld be theticket, if you feel that white buckets too plain and want to dress up your growing space. 

When you have all that you need, follow the process below to build your first bucket garden:

  1. Drill one or two holes in the base of the 5 gallon bucket for drainage
  2. Fill the bucket 2/3 of the way with the potting soil
  3. Create a few divots in the soil about 3 to 4 inches apart
  4. Place plants into the holes and cover with remaining potting soil
  5. Add Water and place in partial daylight

Having vegetable buckets sit on the ground or up on a table can offer the basic portability to make sure that they are in the spot needed for the best growth. They are ready to be moved as the sunlight shifts from week to week or as other conditions dictate.
