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.

The lowest price I have found for new 5 Gal. buckets are the familiar orange buckets sold by Home Depot. I encourage gardeners to find and re-purpose used BPA FREE buckets to help keep plastic out of our landfills. These orange buckets are BPA free but you may choose to pay extra for “Food Grade” buckets. I do not personally like white food grade buckets as they do not block light and allow for algae growth. You can find Black food grade buckets if you choose. “Food Grade” plastic is considered safe for long term food contact and I do not store food in these orange buckets. Look for the Type 2 HDPE symbol on the bottom. Do not use buckets that previously held paint or any harmful ingredients.
