My buckets are Ex cut flower water buckets about the size of a small domestic bucket. My buckets are 10" tall 10" diameter at the top and hold about 10 litres They have 4 quarter inch drainage holes in the bottom I will cut you to a video in this video, that I shot a few years ago. It shows how I do it. There will be other ways to do it but this works for me. Vegetables can I grow in these small buckets Provided you have a climate similar to that of the UK all these are possible Beetroot Lettuce Kale Carrots Celery tomatoes Cucumber Onions Shallots Leeks Parsnips Potatoes Strawberries Sweet corn. Where did you get the numbers on the buckets. Many years ago when I worked in an engineering workshop the numbers had been ordered in. They came in strips of 10 something that was not picked up at the time of ordering and as a consequence there were more numbers than places to stick them. Needless to say, I volunteered give them a good home.
