And, buy your 1" Schedule 40 INSIDE DIAMETER (thinner walls) PVC tubes in 10 ft. lengths from HD or Lowes. You can use a handsaw or hacksaw (easier), or your DH can cut 'em on a band saw (easiest!) to 22-24 inches each. Depends on what you're growing in your eBuckets. Bushy leaves like tomatoes or cabbages, use a longer length to find the tube above the leaves. For broccolis, eggplants, cauliflowers, 20-22" is fine.
A ten-foot length will run yah 2.50 with tax!
