hey all, i need to know where to buy some 5 gallon buckets. i got some rootbound little bitches and they are not liking it.

I would just go to home depot but i am minus a car and cant lug all the shit i need on the bus.

Any ideas who ELSE might carry buckets i can use for soil?

I bet you could find a good deal on ebay or something (or somewhere on the internet!) And it would be delivered to your house so you wouldn't have to transport them. just would have to wait like a week or 2 to get em depending on how fast the shipping is.

Walmart has 'em. Probably be much faster, for you to call stores near you and ask if they sell 'em.

Why not bus to home depot and take a cab back with the pots? I dont see what your problem is.

i need to walk them home. ive ran out of ideas on who to call around me. walmart is 2 far also ; (

i was hoping someone had some untapped secret on where to aquire these buckets one way or another, but if no1 has any ideas i havent thought of then im gonna have to just use a milk jug or some shit till they get shipped

no untapped secret however if you have dollar stores around your house you can get 3 gallon buckets probably. i bought 12 at a dollar general once for 10 bucks. they are cheap and drilling holes in the sides and bottom may result in breaking the cheap plastic so but a few more then you need.

I have carried a 2x3 cement tray on the bus lol. Once I carried a few buckets too. No one cares. Just put them in a big black bag. Hell no gives a shit if you carry buckets on your bike. I had to carry a 3x3 botancare tray up my steps once in from of my neighbors and the guy who brought it yelled, "you forgot your rockwool!". Lol, that is some embarassing shit. Get over that. lol. Craigs list is some funny shit once in a while. I dont advise the three by three tray. Lol.

If you want to be real cool you could rent the home depot truck! Or a van.

they are getting 2ft + and the pots are 1/2 gallon. They were healthy until now and the only explanation is they are rootbound. and the numbers support my theory, as i heard 1 gal per foot.
