My cousin did this but he put wheels on the bottom so he could move the garden around and built graduated tiers , 4 buckets to each of the 3 tiers. Worked really well

Exactly what I need, very renter friendly, won’t even kill the grass underneath. Thanks!

The 5 and 7.5 gal plastic bucket is perhaps one of the best inventions every, especially for the gardener. My wife's herb garden is totally made of 5gal buckets and 60gal food grade barrels (cut the top & bottom out and cut it into 3 big rings). Also, we get 3.5 gal square buckets from Sam's Club bakery (icing buckets) that also work fantastic! A tip to save money on material, 4x4 are crazy expensive now days so we use treated landscape timbers in place of them.

This is my favorite of the different styles of raised bucket frames I have seen! The only change I will make is to have two short ones instead of one long one. With the shade from trees, I can put each one where it will get the most sun and I couldn’t do that with a long one! This will definitely be easier on my 71 year old back and knees. Thank you! PS AND I can grow all the things the wild rabbits like to snack on but they won’t be able to anymore!! 👌👏

I've got one of these and It's wonderful. I will say, that for the plants that are more THIRSTY than others: put your holes about 4 inches from the base on the SIDES - rather than placing the drainage holes at the bottom. You can also place trays/troughs of plants BELOW the buckets to water them and provide shade as well (lettuce/beets/herbs).

Been using buckets for several years now. We get them for no charge from the bakery of any grocery/big box store. Also, empty and move them into the garage over the winter months. Haven't noticed any signs of breakdown yet. Thanks for a great idea on making them more pleasing to the eye.

Like the deck board siding, will keep the root balls cool 👍🏻

What a great idea!! And, as we get older, having these buckets in a secure container & at this height is an excellent idea! Even for gardening with kids! It’s great for everyone!! Thanks for sharing your idea & video!!

Nice, love the idea,not a lot of bending

I will be camp hosting from April to November in West Virginia. This is perfect solution for me to grow some stuff and not have a permanent installation. Perfect for potatoes, herbs, tomatoes, carrots. For zucchini I would spread apart in single bucket stands.

Very nice. Would have loved more details on how to make , leg cuts maybe.

Great idea❤❤❤Can't wait. Just found you today❤❤❤will be binge watching❤❤❤

AMAZING DESIGN!😲 I love when you come up with these unique designs! 😊I live in an apartment and this would be great for a small garden spot! As always, I enjoy all your videos! 😃❤ How about putting some type of wheels on it so an old woman who doesn't have a tractor could move it!😂

This is such a great idea. Now I just need someone to build me the table LOL

Simple construction and very nice looking!

Incredible work, now I can use all those old buckets around the house for something.

Love this . Deals with the issue of ugly buckets.

Really neat idea. When you harvest take the bucket to an area where you want to fertilise or top up the soil and tip the buckets out there. That way you can take the potato harvest as planned but spread the soil where you need for next season.

I will be giving this a try, however, I will put a divider between the rolls for more support and to make it easier to remove and replace as plants need to be replenished. Love this idea, thanks. Oh I see he did divide and put each bucket in it's own square, yay.

I love this idea thank you

Nice project, wondering about longevity. In my experience plastic buckets turn to trash pretty quickly when outside in the sun. The good thing is the side boards should keep a lot of sun off them and I guess you could always get more buckets if they start cracking.

Excellent job. Thanks for sharing

Finally I find someone doing a garden bed that I'm planning on doing. I've been undecided on how to do a garden bed, and putting them in buckets like this seems for me to be ideal because I'd like the option of being able to move and separate the plants at any given time.

I'm always on the lookout for your next video and this one really made me smile. I've previously been watching videos on growing potatoes in a bucket, like on the Hollis and Nancy youtube video which is great, but I knew something was lacking. This video just makes the idea of growing things in a bucket a nicer idea. Thanks!

Looks great! ❤

that was great. thank you for taking the time and energy. just what I was looking for.

This is GREAT! Hope to make one this spring! Tfs😊

This design is fantastic. It is so functional and really aesthetically pleasing!

I have been wanting a mobile garden as well. To avoid chemicals sprayed in the air, and to maximize sun light

Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing❣️

Love this. I was planning to do something similar but i'm doing hydroponics vs growing in dirt. i like that i can easily switch out buckets as I harvest. I'll likely just do a single row though as I plan to line my garden paths with them.

Great idea, love it! We will be making one this year, thank you!👍😁

Cool idea

Good idea!

nicely done

Great build, good inspo ! I recommend spraying the outside of the buckets with a UV resistant Acrylic spray paint like Krylon so that the buckets don’t deteriorate in the sun. The acrylic is more elastic and will be able to expand and contract better than a more brittle latex paint for example. Good luck !

LOVE...IT!!!!!!

Planning to make this for my rooftop garden this summer! Wish I could find the "plans" somewhere so I can know what measurements to cut, etc. What amount of wood to shop for, etc. Thank you for this video!

Looks very nice and neat. Great job

nice project !!! ... can place twp potatoes east west down low add say 4-6 in dirt add two more north an south an cover ...thus double your out put...potatoe tubers grow horz...

Could you share the measurements for the boards? I'd love to have one built for me but I need the board lengths and a list of the supplies needed. Thanks a lot. Love your work

Great idea! I may copy this.

Great idea 👍👵🏻👩‍🌾❣️

Wow! Very nice!

Enjoyed watching this, thanks for sharing.

Good job! Tks for sharing

Very nice idea

Just found your channel and subscribed immediately! Lots of great content here! Thanks for sharing your talent and skills with us.

Every good job

Very nice. Congratulaions

Wow! thanks🎉

Very interesting i will give a try

UV light + summer heat will deteriorate plastic buckets here in the Mojave desert in about a year or two. Learned this the hard way.

Great idea 👍

Nice work!

Awesome!!!

Great video

Nice work and I deal😊

So cool dude

Nice

I drill my drain holes on the side 1" from the bottom. I also fill the bottom 3" with 1/2 to 1" diameter sticks with 4" of leaves on top. It creates a small reservoir at the bottom. Then fill the rest of the way with compost. I plant peppers and tomatoes in mine.

With a similar construction I had brutal problems with snails!!! They love the wet wood under plastic containers!

Let us know how it does after the end of the screwing season. I’ve been thinking about building something like this to downsize from the big garden. I like the easy access and maintenance feature.

Don’t forget to drill holes in the bottom of the buckets and put about two inches of small stones in the bottom for drainage , or your going to have a mud garden .

Love this where can I find the wood shopping list to take with me please??

Great video, I am having trouble finding the promised follow up video.

You can fill the buckets to the top straight away. No need for hilling the potatoes will grow just the same.

You can just save your "Tidy Cat" litter buckets and use those. They are also food grade (labelled and everything) also and fit nicely together.

You should sell kits for these!!!

I think it would be helpful for beginners if you have same video of building this garden bed without the buckets to see how everything is connected inside

Like the table a lot! Thanks! Any update on how the pototoes did?

Would love an update in a month! Also stupid question but how do you join the boards that make the square grid? I’m new to this haha

How did you measure and cut the legs and what exactly did youndonwith the hand tools. Great idea and executed all, but as far as diy, I need to know how you measured and cut the legs and the extra hand work you performed as well,.please and thank you

Thank you , Love your Design

Looks great. Love it, however cost to build must have been no object. I have seen some raised planters made from old wooden pallets that probably cost next to nothing and probably do as well.

Excellent idea! Does the bucket need holes for drainage? Thank you

Really Cool Video!! How did you attach both sides to the center 2x4?

Great project for growing food at home. How is the system holding up? Any tips for making a similar system with a floater to self water?

Can you do a video on how you prepared the potato's prior to planting or do you have a video already?

keep those buckets on the soil, and grow in the bed and grow more in the buckets😀😇

i would add support boards underneath the buckets

Hi what did you place under the legs of the raised bed

Let us know how the stand held up with the loaded buckets, please

Great way to thwart the stupid moles, too!

Have you ever thought of grafting tomato plants onto the stems of the potatoes? Since they are both nightshade plants, they grow well together and you get double the drops out of the same space. Also, to help avoid potato blight and scabs, the buckets should be dark (perhaps spraypainted black). That will add to their heat absorbing capability, and both potatoes and tomatoes love the heat.

Can someone explain the chiseling of the 4x4s? Thanks!

Do you have a update on the potatoe harvest?

Great video!!! How much did this cost you?

Could you put a list of how many boardsetc

😲🤯👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾.

😊

Do u have link really wud like to know how crop turned out

no mention of the divider size for each bucket...please include measurements for this awesome project!!

Love this idea. I’d go a step further and place heavy duty wheels under the legs so it’s moveable. I made this comment before I saw you move it with your tractor. However the wheels are still a good idea for someone that needs to move it on pavement.

I wish you sold the plans for this

Where did uou get your bucks?❤

did you put anything under the dirt t assist in water drainage?

Nice job but what did you use to move that? Just curious Bec it wasn't shown and you hooked it up to something with the straps. Otherwise it would be difficult to move who would help carry it and approx how much you think it weighs?I'd have to remove all the buckets first and probably walk it but could be a two ir more person job..but then its just the weight of the wood and definitely looks nicer. Im wondering why you wouldnt want them either on the ground for the worms or maybe that is why. There are new terrible invasive worms now that actually don't do anything but destroy the soil and sit on top not like the good worms Now thats 😔ugh they are not from here but are taking over.But i do appreciate the raised bed . I have a similar idea that im making. These buckers dont last but kaybe hiding them will keep them from geting brittle sooner, but it is important to have food safe plastic and they can always changed out. I think i might only use the pressure treated for the legs. Could still contaminate the soil. I did see you put yhe littleblocjs under it, was that regular wood? Good idea to keep it off the soil and you could also use bricks or just put the buckets on bricksm im actually building something similar yo what you did, but a little more squarish in size. I like yours because obviously you can plant more I think the buckets are easier and yes its still easier to move if needed n you could make more sizes and sell these too What zone are you in? State? Oh ok i see the tractor. I miss3d that part. Lovr this and looks wonderful 🎉❤❤❤❤.could certainly be happy with your help. Good man to build this. Im sure your wife is a happy girl. Nice edges and do the fact that you made it all oreseure treated keep the planks fron warping or twisting? Or is it just becquse you want it to last longer and keep it fron rotting? Did you build any other type wood beds and how did they go? I agree with the dumping method is ea8er and a tarp can make putting it back easier too that way youre only adding some. Which potatoes did you plant? Enjoy🎉 you can also just use the organic ones from the store. They do well as long as organic and cut in half if big, let harden off before planting. 😊 The bigger the containers the more you can plant. Is there any other way to attach the legs? Thanks for the video. First time watching your videos
