Q: What are the circular shapes at the bottom of The Bucket Company's Growing Systems/Buckets?
A: These circular shapes serve to elevate your growing medium and root system above the base of our containers. They ensure complete drainage of water and nutrient runoff, preventing root rot, and keeping pests and bacteria at bay.
Q: Do the buckets promote air circulation in the root system?
A: Yes, indeed! Our growing containers feature rounded corners, while our Ez-Pz Screen Pots are square. This configuration creates space for air to circulate beneath your root system, ensuring that all plants receive a continuous supply of fresh oxygen.
Q: Can I use The Bucket Company's Growing Systems/Buckets without PVC Pipe-Legs?
A: Absolutely! While we recommend suspending the systems/containers at least 4 inches above the ground to benefit from our patented sloped drainage design, you can use them without PVC Pipe-Legs if needed.
Q: What's the difference between the White Medical Grade Systems/Buckets and the other colors?
A:
-
Antimicrobial White Buckets:
- Our FDA/EPA Approved White antimicrobial Medical containers possess medical-grade properties that eliminate 99.95% of E-coli, Mold, & Algae growth on the container's surface. These are ideal for growers who need to meet strict hygiene standards for local and state inspections.
-
Standard Colored Buckets:
- Our standard colored systems/buckets are made from the same high-quality, 3MM thick, BPA-free plastic. However, they do not include the medical properties of the White systems/buckets. They are available in various colors for growers to coordinate with their garden aesthetics.
Q: Do the Antimicrobial White Medical Systems/Buckets harm beneficial microbes?
A: Not at all! The Medical Grade properties are integrated into the plastic during manufacturing and do not come into contact with the central root system, thanks to the Ez-Pz Screen Pots!
