We put some out the other day but we put some big boo buckets out last year and they are still in the same spot. So we will have to see about these but I think they will be ok.

good job guys. keep up the good work.


Oh with the buckets u are using I would drill 4 holes in the side of each at the bottom, all spread out so you can run 2 pieces of that wood thru the bottom and make a big PLUS symbol. They will never fall over and they will be harder to move in the current IMO.

They look great. You must plant a bunch of tomatoes too!

Try when you are putting your stakes in your quickcrete to put some of them in at shallower angles. That way the stakes will only let the bucket tip over so far and most of the stakes will still be pointing up. Kinda like "weebles wobble but they don't fall down."

Not sure if my picture is going to show it right or not since I had to make it so small.

Where can you get those stakes?
