Hi all,
Becky, I do have some more suggestions.
In the buckets, have DH drill holes up the side of the bucket 1". This will hold more water and your buckets won't have to be watered so often or as much.
Here are some instructions for a grow box I made last spring. These boxes will last several years. All you need to do is replenish about 1/3 the soil each year.
This idea can be used with the white buckets also. You can just upend a plastic container of the proper diameter in the bottom of the bucket. The container doesn't need to be tied or anything. Then drill holes up the side of the white bucket at the height of the container inside. This allows water to be held and it will evaporate up into the oil as well as be wicked by the soil. The evaporating water will condense on the inside of the plastic and drip through the fertilizer into the soil below.
If you don't want to build your own here is a site where you can buy one.
