Container Garden in a Bucket

You can turn almost anything into a container garden. You just need to punch or drill drainage holes - a hammer and a big nail did the trick on this galvanized steel utility bucket. You can fill the bottom with empty plastic bottles, non-biodegradable packing peanuts or a product called Better Than Rocks," so the container doesn't get too heavy.
