I believe in the power of asking within your neighborhood. As a disabled senior, I am severely financially limited, so I always have to think outside the box. Gardening can be extremely expensive; so I’ve found numerous ways around things so I can afford to grow, can, and eat as healthy as a rich person. For food grade plastic 5 gallon pail’s; just ask for a donation at ice cream shops or deli’s. Both have them piled up, and are happy to give them away, or sell them for the cost of their deposit. I hope this idea helps.
We ALL deserve to eat healthy, and we can ALL do this!

I use my 50 gallon stock tank with gold fish to water my plants. Its a low stocking rate and has multiple aquatic plants and water filter for chlorine. Never lost a fish. The frequent water changes keep the water nice and clean but microbial active and nitrogen rich. Im making a tower to see how herbs grow with just my fish water and no suplemental nutes.

Thanks to everyone for all the constructive comments and ideas for "on the cheap" that really add up! I get medical grade one gallon bowls with lids that I "basement garden" in all winter. My co-workers love pictures of the "forest" and it really does help seasonal depression with the lights and growing plants. I owe so much to this channel. This is one of the most positive places with smart savvy subs on YT.

Thank you for helping the world be a greener place in small spaces. I'm learning and loving all your ideas. I have my first grandbaby and am hoping to help feed him safe homegrown food. Thank you again. I'm passing all the info onto my family and friends. Together we can grow better food.

I usually drill an overflow hole with an upside down 45 with a mesh screen on the end to prevent mosquitoes from getting in, but this method seems like it will work as well. Nice job!

This is my first day watching you all, and I was a person that quit to do this and quit, but I do want to do this. So how to get buckets I went to HEB in Tx and went to the bakery section and asked if I could get buckets from the cake frosting, and I went weekly and got at least 10 a week for free. If you go to your bakery store, you can get buckets, also.

So cool! As a homeschooling, no building skills mom, I just had to buy my towers. Watching all your past videos now! Future goals to try and build one.

[rharnatkiewicz]

I have been experimenting with hydroponics for about 3 years now, I have watched you and many others. It really is an interesting adventure. I use alot of ideas I have from you all but it has made me come up with ideas that work for me. I love all of it, not so much when I screw up but it is all learning. Hope to share some of my ideas on here one day.

I just bought a lettuce grow, then found your page and realized, "What if my power goes out while im gone?" I'm definitely getting your seed pack and making grow towers. Sharing with everyone. Please keep healing the world. We appreciate you more than you know ❤

Absolutely EXCELLENT Video...
"BRAVO"
WOW... I am so Happy to have found your videos (this is my second one to watch)...
I have always wanted to do Hydroponics, but didn't think I could do the set up for it...
This video is CRAZY Good....
Thank you so much for being a great Teacher... (I should know, because I am a Teacher too).
Excellent Tutorial.

What a great idea. I'd been fretting about the Rain problem. I don't have the space tomake a sheltered grow areas. Every popup green house I build ends up destroyed by falling branches in storms. My back yard is a forest... This a really cool idea. I'd be willing to try this with at least one bucket. I want to grow some berry style tomatoes, and I have a half circle wire mesh I can use as a trellis if I put some tomato plants on one side and maybe grow some herbs in the holes on the front side. Has anyone grown basil and tomato in the same kratky bucket? That might not work since basil is just leaves and tomato is fruiting.

That Variety Pack looks nice.
I just want to provide a kind warning about one of the herbs.
Shiso is a very popular in asian dishes for its pungunt anise like flavor. I learned the hard way to NOT let it go to seed. it is very invasive because it is a member of the mint family, if allowed to go to seed and catch ground.
Shiso is extremely toxic to ruminants like cows, horses, goats, pretty much any livestock, and other animals like dogs and cats. Its toxicity doesn't diminish when cut. if shiso leaves, live or dead, fresh or dried, are eaten by animals, even dogs, it can cause interstitial pneumonia and death very quickly.
If you have any pets or animal friends, or fields that animals might graze, you will want to keep Shiso away from them, and don't let it go to seed, because the seeds concentrate the chemical that causes the animals harm, and it is very prolific, similar to basil. if you let it seed in your yard, you will have and entire field of shiso in less than one season, and it won't just stay in your yard...
I hope I don't alarm anyone, just want to be sure no one gets any unpleasant surprises.

Another interesting idea! I can't wait to try hydroponics outside. 24 degrees here in NC this morning! And supposed to be 70 on Wednesday. All the weather in one week, lol

[Bee_Cathy]

Awesome update. I'm trying this design as an herb garden stacked out on my deck this summer!!

[fayeprice]

Dollar tree this last year had orange and black for Halloween, red, green and white for Christmas red for Valentine's day, green St. Pat's day. I'm sure they get some for Easter and other holiday. Try lander mats that take in lander for buckets

Made mine today waiting for basil to get big enough to transplant. Thanks for the nursery suggestion going to going to start tomorrow as long as it warms up enough, so much for Florida in the winter ha.

Growing in hydro buckets is so cool! Best way to grow zucchini in 9b!

[maxibake]

Brilliant idea. I recon this might work on a smaller scale too, with Popcorn Buckets on my Balcony.🌱
TFS Mike, take care & keep busy everyone. ❤🙂🐶

If you have a Firehouse Subs near you they have their 5 gallon pickle buckets for 3 bucks, pickles sold separately. Very sturdy and food grade. The only issue is that you normally can only get 2 or 3 at a time or you may need to call more than 1 location to find some in stock

[audreycampbell-rfgq]

Also I have bird baths and I put a copper penny in them. No algae. Might work in the buckets. ❤ peaceful planting my friend.

[jeffrichards]

Mike these will work..I've been doing this for several years. These are great starter setups of Kratky!
