Can I plant directly into this bucket?
While possible, it is not recommended for direct planting without a liner, as it may not provide adequate drainage and could lead to water retention issues. Using a liner is advisable.
How should I clean the bucket?
Wipe the bucket with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to prevent damage to the galvanised finish.

What is the purpose of the ear handles?

Troubleshooting
Bucket is not holding water.
Use a plastic liner inside the bucket. For minor leaks without a liner, consider sealing small holes with waterproof sealant, though a liner is the recommended solution.
Galvanised finish appears dull or scratched.
Gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Minor scratches are normal wear for galvanised metal.
Handles feel loose.
Check that the handle attachments are secure. If they become significantly loose, contact the retailer for potential replacement options or consult a professional for repair.
