Light, durable and easy to transport, galvanized bushels and buckets make great containers for Austin condo dwellers.   At Zinger’s Fall Expo, we drilled holes in the bottom for drainage, then filled with quality potting soil.  You can also line the walls with stryofoam or cardboard to insulate tender roots.  Skip the pansies and frou-frou annuals.   Mexican feather grass and succulents add punch and can take the tough, windy conditions found on exposed patios.  Stop by the Zinger green house, 4001 North Lamar, to see more examples.
