I'm prolly going to make a 3-legged TriPod (like a teepee tent frame) to
hold my 'Mater Bucket above ground in the driveway rather than hang it
under the porch roof. Lot more SUN in the driveway.
I'll string the Dawg Fence around the tripod legs to keep the 4-legged Poachers
outta da Pharm again this year.

* How much does the loaded bucket WEIGH when it's filled with soil + water?

* Did you plant all three plants at the same Level, or stagger them one
high, one low, one in the middle?

* Is yours an 'open top', or covered with the bucket lid?

I have no way of uplaoding them yet. Our house comps are on the blink!

I will get them done soon!


I took a 5 gallon bucket and cut three 3 inch holes at 0, 90 and 180 degrees around the midline (half way up) I stapled an old piece of nylon screen inside to keep the soil in and cut a cross in the mesh to feed the plants thru.

I filled the bucket with potting soil then took the plants, pushed them thru the mesh and covered the root system. I also punched some holes in the bottom to keep it drained.

I used a garage hook, those rubber coated hooks that you use to hang stuff in the garage, and put it under a south facing eave thate gets good sunshine.


I have a piece of nylon rope to adjust the height when they start to get going,

I guess you can start one at any level and adjust it if you use a piece of rope to hang it-this takes a little adjusting to keep the plants facing the sun.


I leave the top off the can and he whole kit and kabooble weighs about 35 pounds.
