Nature in a Bucket
OK. Let’s say that you are too old, poor, stupid, lazy or crazy to go to nature. Yet you yearn for nature with all your black heart. But not just any nature. No. You yearn for some specific unattainable nature. But you are incapable of getting to the nature because you are too old, etc.
If you are in that boat or situation, try nature in a bucket. What you need is a large bucket to put your nature in. For example, the climate, the soil, the soil saturation at the CB, all combine to keep us from enjoying non-jurisdictional wetland plants at home. Solution? Easy that, grow those plants in a bucket.
The only thing you have to remember in this situation is that: If your bucket got a hole in it, it don’t work no more. So what you need is a bucket with no holes or holes that you can plug up. Like Ray plugged a hole in a bucket with a wine bottle cork. Don’t know what to do with your old wine bottle corks. There you go.
Like Sartre once spelled: All holes must be filled. Uh. Was that Sartre? Isn’t he dead?
OK. Here’s a typical example of nature in a bucket. This nature in a bucket features the large Silphium occasionally encountered on creek banks in these parts. Notice that Crumby is not providing a specific epithet. There’s a good reason for that. Others may have strong opinions, but not Crumby.
Actually two guys know what this particular Silphium is. But one of those guys is dead. So the living expert has no one to argue with. Isn’t that sad?
This particular blue bucket in the picture costs six dollars and comes with no holes. So all you have to do is fill it up with the kind of dirt that your plant prefers or can tolerate, stick in your plant, water it in, and watch it grow. Nature in a bucket!
OK. You may need to punch some little holes for drainage in the unlikely event it rains too much. Yes. You can punch in some little holes for drainage, then tape them over when the weather returns to its old miserable hot dry self.
There you go. Nature in a Bucket! Notice that our nature in a bucket is also inside a fence. The fence is not deer proof. However, the deer don’t go in. It’s too tricky for them.
