Buckets for condo's

[kincade]

This what I start with, drywall mud 5 gal. buckets. (It doesnt hurt the fish or lake if some mud is still in the buckets, most is made from recycled paper anyway) Fill the buckets about 2/3 or 3/4 up with p gravel or 3/4" clean. Then you insert your structure, mix concrete, pour in bucket till full. (these pic's coming soon.

i used to be a bucket man. I switched to those 18qt dish pans and use them as molds.

I use root ball buckets that plants come in and the dish pans

I have tried the dish pans before but i find the buckets are easier to carry.

I've had some luck with Bamboo ,but PVC has not worked so good. I perfer to build brushpiles wired together and a concrete block or other weight.

Do people like pvc better cause bamboo is not always readily available?

that could be. I have never used pvc, cause river canes and bamboo is too plentiful around here, which seems to work just fine. I know that one day they will rot away, but they are too easy to replace.
