Seascape strawberries in a homemade eBucket - mine...space-saver model, LOL!
I planted 24 bare-root strawberry plants in this 6.5 gallon eBucket. Next time, will plant only half as many to allow more space to each plant. I normally use 5-gallon buckets for eBuckets. However, a friend collected some taller, 6.5 gallon chlorine tablet buckets from a pool guy in his neighborhood -- I've never had any food issues with the pool tablet buckets.
These Seascapes produced a nice-sized strawberry. The built-in reservoir in the bottom of the eBucket helped keep the strawberries hydrated when I couldn't get around to watering. That's the beauty of the eBucket system.
Here's a link to the eBucket construction tutorial.

You can also convert a large, decorative planter into an eBucket. Basically, the same construction as for a 5-gallon (or larger) bucket or planting vessel.
Hugs!
