The inside buckets with the holes drilled in the bottom are sitting on my patio, I was thinking of passing them on to someone who wants to make global buckets. All they would need is a new 5 gallon bucket to set them in. I even have the wicking containers for them we made from a plastic water bottle.
You won't need casters on the Earthbox, so this one would be about $20 cheaper and even less if you buy three from them. Three would be $89.95 + tax and shipping. If you wait until a free shipping code comes up you can get them for just the cost plus tax.

Don't get caught up in the Earthbox Jr. It's too small for what you are doing.
