All you need is a 5gal bucket, soil, and a place that it can hang from (smaller bucket will work with strawberries)
Put a 2” or so hole in the bottom, cover with a few layers of coffee filter, taped in. fill the thing with topsoil, and put on a tight lid (with some holes as well for drainage at first, and watering later). Then, flip it over, plant whatever it is you want in there, let it take root for a week or so, and then hang but the bucket handle, high enough that animals wont eat (if you have that high).
We might be doing that this year, and I saw some things about planting tomatoes in hay bales, and I have one from last fall left over that I am going to try out, see how it works.
How do you guys do your watering? Sprinker? Drip/soaker hose? Supersoaker battles?
