This is a nifty tool that if anything helps the uninitiated visualize how all the parts fit together.

I live in Montreal where conditions for outdoor growing aren't favourable and the grow lights indoors bother me when they're out in the open.

So I'm using the spacebucket approach (with LEDs) to create contained spaces to grow strawberries and cherry tomatoes year round.

Yield isn't spectacular but its fun and trumps anything store bought. I have an upcoming design for microgreens using stacking 2-gal buckets.


That is awesome, I'd like to see some pictures of your bucket and plants! I'm growing Hot Peppers at the moment, just had my first harvest. I've also grown a lot of cherry tomatoes, I'm a fan.


huh. TIL people use spacebuckets for growing stuff other than weed


I'm not really sure what the use case is for this as I don't do a lot of indoor gardening, but it's very well made. Kudos!


The tool is fab but the gallery is truly inspiring, I feel a new hobby coming on!


Dear me what a long URL
