I am going to mostly try container gardening this year. I have a weed that has completely taken over my garden area. I'm going to plant a few in the ground but a majority of my tomato and cucumber plants will be going into 5 gallon buckets. I had originally planned on drilling some drain holes in the bottom of the buckets and using a saucer under each bucket. I watched a few videos online where people drill a drain hole or several on the sides of the bucket an inch or 2 above the bottom to create a water reservoir in the bottom of each bucket. I'm leaning towards the method of drilling a hole or two on the side an inch or two from the bottom. I'm hoping someone with some experience can chime in and share their experiences.
