Difference between the cheapest and the best. I use the cheapest, 3 gallon plastic grow bags at about $0.35 each. I've reused some bags 3-4 times, they're rugged enough. They have plastic 5 gallon bags for about $.045. I'm running a 5 Gallon Smart Pot side by side with a 5 gallon drywall pail. Just about done, stay tuned...
The most recent pot fashion is the rooters style pot, plastic with wavy sides with slits in them to keep the roots trimmed.
Shovelhandle Reviewed by Shovelhandle on . Best 5 Gallon buckets/pots to grow in? What what inexpensive 5 gallon buckets/pots are you all growing in? I've seen one person say that they drill holes into the bottom of one 5 gal bucket (for drainage) and then place that bucket into another 5 gal bucket to catch the runoff. Is this the norm? What's the best most inexpensive way for me to pot 20 plants in 5 gal buckets? Rating: 5
