One problem I see is you need to drill drainage holes in the bottom of your buckets.
Having them two inches up the side will allow water to collect below that level. This can cause your roots and soil to rot down there. Your nutrients will also pool down there and concentrate.
There is no oxygen in that lower portion, and oxygen is an important factor. :hippy:

Let me explain. I usually pour the water in the bucket really fast, and I have holes in the bucket about 2 inches from the bottom so the water can gather. Since the water doesn't get absorbed into the soil all that fast, Rating: 5
