OK...this whole bucket gardening thing is pretty cool. With Fall coming sooner rather than later, we wanted to figure out a way to make this all a bit easier, instead of just random buckets sitting around.
Enter this:
...they look like this! Pretty cool, huh?
Could I build our own from scratch? Probably.
Can I get to my tools yet? No.
Do I know if I even have the right tools? Not really.
So, in the end, we figured it was easier and of course much quicker to get this and just make it happen now, so we had it before the Fall season arrived.
It was a lot of pieces that's for sure. Plus, I had to put it together outside, so I didn't have to try to fit it through the door. There were no screws, it was all dovetail type connectors so no tools required.
It took about 45 minutes or so but after I was done, we ended up with this:
As they say in real estate, "location, location, location" and rather than just put it out in the middle of the yard somewhere, we have found the right spot for it. It needed to be close to water and close to us for just stepping outside and taking care of things, so we put it alongside the well shed wall.
This keeps the garden plants free of weeds, safe from rabbits, and it makes everything at a nice height.
We're thinking there might just be a second one coming soon and we might move them to the garage wall, but we need to see how much sunlight that area gets during the day.
That would mean twelve buckets...
My mind races at the possibilities for Fall gardening adventures!
That is so neat for the buckets. it sure looks organized.
