My husband removed the handle of the bucket, he then drilled 3 holes on the top of the bucket and added chain to each hole, He then put a hook on it, and thats how it hangs, that bucket will never break.

I’ve done the upside down tomato thing for a while now and have a few tips for you. First, you can make the bucket lighter by breaking up some styrofoam blocks and dispersing amongst the potting soil. Another thing is that you should grow the plant upright until it’s about 3 feet tall, otherwise it tries defying gravity and curls up under the bucket.

Last year my wife decided her and my daughter were gonna start a little garden next to the house. I have no tiller and we live on red clay. I used post-hole diggers and dug holes in the ground and filled the holes with miracle grow. Ended up with cucmbers a foot or 2 long, more tomatoes than we could keep up with, and squash went crazy and tried to take over. This year just 2 plants’ll do. If i needed more I’d try the others u mentioned, but for the price u can’t beat MG for what it does.

No it sucks shit. …
No it sucks shit. MG is the worst performing product on the market IMO. You might like it because you are having success with it but you will have even greater yields if you get off that crap.

This is a very easy-to-follow instructions. Thank you for taking the time and definitely would like to see updates. I just wish there was a way to make a stand for a small garden.

I’ve tried with tomato, eggplant and tomatillo. I tried peppers, but the handle broke and squished the plant. I don’t have much time right now, so I’m just doing three tomato plants. Cucumber should work, but the they get longer, so you might need to train then down and then back up, perhaps using a trellise?

It DOES matter what you use, and for the record Marcile Grow is pounded dog of the soil world. Try Black Gold or Proven Winner, FoxFarms if you can afford it. Avoid time release ferts.

I suppose you could make the hole in the side, but then you limit the sun exposure. The filter is not strictly needed. I did not use it in the ones I’ve put up so far this year and there is no problem, it just keeps the dirt in while you work.

Hi Tiredgarden can you make a hole on the sides instead of the bottom and wouldn’t the coffee filter break down over time?

I don’t cover mine. You can plant something in the top of the bucket or put something on top. If you do, you will need a way to water them. The top will keep it from evaporating.

Last year I used all potting soil, but it was heavy and one of the plastic handled buckets broke. This year I’ve used a mix with some chip mulch in it which gives it some volume, but I don’t think will help with the weight as it holds in the moisture. I’m open to suggestions.

Great job on the video. After the potting soil, what do you recommend using to fill the rest of the bucket? Is it all potting soil or is the rest a combination or mix to assist in the drainage?
Thanks
