We hung our buckets from our shed, but you can hang them pretty much anywhere as long as it can handle the weight of the bucket, soil, plant, and water. Position the bucket where you want it and secure it from the handle using a Stainless Steel Rigid 2 hole conduit strap 1/2 inch and screws. Or you can just have only the tomato plants in the buckets. You can also add a herb plant like I did to the top or something some that will not interfere with where you are hanging the buckets.
#Tomatoes in 5 gallon buckets free
I used Miracle Grow but feel free to use whatever potting soil you prefer. Carefully feed the plant thru the hole until the roots hit the bottom of the bucket.įill the bucket with potting soil. Remove the tomato plant from the container. Turn the 5-gallon bucket over and drill one hole in the middle of the bottom of the bucket using a cordless drill and 1 inch hole saw for the tomato plant.
We had tomatoes in no time and they were just as good as they would be in a garden but less of hassle and no weeds to pull. This is the first year we decided to try it and it worked out great. When you don’t have a lot of space but still want to grow juicy tomatoes, 5 gallon buckets are the way to go.
