5 gallon buckets

I tend to go with more soil/ perlite, 60/40 ( soil 45% worm castings 15% worm.castings, but that's just me, I'm going with living no till soil next run seen amazing results with 70/30 Coco and perlite, and then seen amazing results with soil, I would up that perlite depending on the grow media.
 
Rocks in the bottom of the container is usually to add weight. Keeps your plants from being blown over or tipping from a tall plant.

In the day, it was kinda used as drainage place. The rocks below the soil gives a place for the water to drain. Keeping the roots from being bathed in run off water. Later being wicked back up by the soil on a pot with no drain holes. Like a decorative ceramic pot of sorts. Organic type grow where run off isn't needed. Like a cactus or other plants that need moisture but not so much they get a run off.
 
Thank you all for your response. My garden soil has been messed up. I decided to try buckets with miracle grow this year. Last year I planted late, was my first time growing; and had bad soil in the garden, but I did grow some awesome flowers and small buds thanks to Epson salt. Gonna try buckets this year... learn as you go I guess. Thanks again.

Miracle Gro Organic. Right? Because Miracle Gro is loaded with nutrients we don’t want early.
