I wouldn't drill drain holes in the bottom. You will struggle to keep water on them. I been doing a bucket garden for a few years now. I put one 1/2" drain hole in the side of the buckets 3" from the bottom. Fill the bottom 3" of the bucket with rocks and plant of top of them. Water till it comes out the hole. The roots grow down into the rocks and the plant has water to drink on.


In your darkest hour when the demons come, call on me brother and we'll fight them together.
