The Bucket Company 12 Planter 1.2 Gallon Kit
The Planter was designed by growers for growers, the main selling point of The Ez-Pz Planter is that it’s a Universal System that can be used in countless applications from small grow tents to large commercial growing operations. They’re 100% Expandable, whether you need 1 or 1,000, the Ez-Pz Planter Growing System is for you!
The planter has a 3 degree “V” bottom & raised bumps inside to keep your plants properly drained. The bevelled sink opens up to a 3/4″ hole with a grommet that accepts any 1/2″ PVC or Barbed fitting.
If you are looking to grow with Soil or Coco, you can automate your system to feed by adding a timer for 3 minutes a day. Run your drain lines either with PVC or PVC Hose out to recycle or treat and run to waste. These revolutionary Planters have four openings on the bottom four corners allowing you to insert 1/2” PVC legs for the 1.2 Gallon & the 3 Gallon while the 1-1/4” PVC for the 10 Gallon will hold your bucket firmly above cold slabs, discharged water & give you the gravity you need to expel the discharge! Now you can set your planter at any height you want making walking in your garden and feeding much easier. No more crawling or bending. Unique universal systems can be used as a Feed to Waste (Run to Waste) growing system when using mediums like soil and Coco. With our feed to drain system it gives you the advantage of putting your systems on a timer and let the Irrigation Manifold, flowing at 4 Litres per minute do all the work! So, either 4 buckets or a 1,000, we can engineer a custom application for everyone’s needs.
Hydroponic is a method that is mainly used with mediums like Rockwool, Clay Pebbles. It simply returns your discharged water/nutrients from the bucket back to the reservoir for recycling feeding regiment. Hydroponic is a little more hands on but has a lot great benefits. It’s up to the grower on which method to choose from, we just give options!

Can I use my Planters without the PVC Legs? Yes, but we recommend to do so when using the Irrigation Manifold as a drip system (10 Gallon). The 1.2 Gallon & 3 Gallon will work just fine with or without the PVC legs.
How far should I space the planters from one another? Depending on your spacing we recommend an 450mm to 600mm separation from the center of each Planter
What kind of growing can I do in these systems? All types of growing! Our Planters are universal, meaning they work with both Hydroponic and Feed to Drain (run to waste) growing applications.
Can I Reuse my Screen Inserts? Yes
When to use Flexible Pipes or PVC for Irrigation and Drainage:
1) Flexible piping is recommended for smaller setup and when used in temporary locations where you plan on moving soon so its easier for setting up and breaking down.
2) PVC is recommended for large commercial operations where you don’t plan on moving as its more of a cleaner setup and stationary. Therefore, the PVC setup can remain the same from one harvest to the next.
Can I use my 10 Gallon Planters as a Drip Feed System? Yes
Would the Anti- Microbial Planters harm my beneficial microbes? No, because the Anti-Microbial is located on the plastic and doesn’t come in contact with your beneficial microbes in your root zone.
