lol... those cute little blue buckets are actualy nothing more than cheap pails I get at the Dollar store for a buck each.
I buy new ones for each grow. I get 2 per plant and use a screw to make 10 drainage holes in the bottom of the ones I put the plants in. I put the first bucket inside the second one for drainage runoff. Makes it so easy to get rid of the drainage water and the spouts make it easy to pour out too. No fuss, no mess. The smallest plant this time was grown in a bottled water bottle which I just cut the top off and it is also set inside of a blue bucket for drainage. I used the clear water bottle just so I could see exactly what it's root system was doing. It's a cheap little setup that works like a charm.
