Don't have room for a garden or need MORE room for plants? Then a simple 5 gallon bucket garden we built might be a great solution for you. This is a very basic DIY project that requires minimal tools and minimal carpentry skills. The frame is built out of 2x4's and aside from them the only other materials you need are wood screws, 8 5 gallon buckets, and paint or stain if you decide to use non treated 2x4's. As far as tools needed, that is also a very small list and consists of a saw, something to thread in the screws (Drill, impact, electric screwdriver, etc.), and a tape measure. You could always nail the frame together as well if you would prefer to and in that case you would need a hammer and nails rather than screws and something to drive them in with. It's also handy to have access to clamps, a square, and a level, but these items aren't absolutely necessary for building this structure. When building this 5 gallon bucket garden you start by cutting the lumber to the dimensions listed in the video. Then you build the 2 end pieces of the structure. After that you attach your long 2x4's between the end pieces you constructed. That is all it takes to build the frame and have it ready to sit the buckets in. As noted in this video we purchased brand new 5 gallon buckets from our local Ace Hardware store and we paid less than $35 total for all 8 of them. You can always save money by using 5 gallon buckets you already have around the home, but you just want to make sure that they did not have anything toxic in them that can contaminate the plants you are growing in them. The 2x4's came from a local True Value hardware store, but you can get them at any place that sells lumber. And if you have no way to haul 2x4's home, be sure to check at your local Lowes, Home Depot, or other lumber supply source as many of them offer a delivery service and in some cases it is a fairly low dollar amount needed to qualify for FREE home delivery. This 5 gallon bucket garden is great for anyone low on garden space, or to grao select plants that you don't need an abundance of, or for plants that you want to keep protected, and has many other great benefits to it. It also allows you to grow a small variety of your favorite vegetables and herbs without the hassles of buying and storing expensive equipment needed to cultivate and maintain a full size garden.
