Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

I have used 5 gallon buckets for tomatoes that you can get free or very
cheap at natural food stores, co-ops or other food stores. They get bulk
food items in them. Usually these have lids, making them useful for other
purposes than planting. We also get cat litter in a similar sized bucket and
I use those too.

This year I am trying Salad Bush cukes which are supposed to be good for
containers and Tumbler Tomatoes (from Nichols Garden nursery), also
recommended for containers.
