You don’t need a big yard to grow food 🪣 A few bucket gardening tips I’ve learned:
🕳️ Drainage holes are a must, or roots can rot fast
🌱 Use potting mix, not heavy garden soil
🍅 Tomatoes need support early before the plant gets too heavy
🥒 Cucumbers can grow in buckets too, but they’ll need a small trellis
💧 Buckets dry out faster than raised beds, so check moisture often
☀️ Place them where they get plenty of sun, especially for fruiting veggies
It’s a simple setup, but it can grow a surprising amount with the right care.
