Alaska Grow Buckets

Alaska Grow Buckets is no longer making our own kits. You can still order everything or just order the parts that you need below. We will continue to offer the FREE Alaska Grow Buckets Guide to show how to easily construct your system and you are welcome to print out and share our instruction guide with your friends.

The grow mix must have a strong wicking property. Soil or compost will not work.

I encourage gardeners to find and re-purpose used buckets that are free or very low cost to help keep plastic out of our landfills. Look for the Type 2 HDPE symbol on the bottom to indicate the plastic is safe to use for growing vegetables. The lowest price I have found for new 5 Gal. buckets are the familiar orange buckets sold by Home Depot.
