Hydrofarm 6 in. Wide Lip Bucket Basket - Round Plant Container with Mesh Bottom - HG6RDBK

I bought this after seeing a YouTube video using it for hydroponics. The basket is really well made and sturdy and will work great for my needs. Fits perfectly in my five gallon bucket. Will be buying more.

I was going to return this net cup because it didn't fit my Home Depot or Canadian Tire buckets. Then I tried it on my one and only Lowes 5g bucket and it fits perfectly.

This is highly overpriced, 4-6 times overpriced. You can find this on Amazon for 4 dollars each as I just have. With that said the product itself is very good.

I used a good quality white plastic spray paint on the top and rim top sides, to reflect light to the underside of the plant, confuse the insects and to help keep the sun's heat out of the bucket. Once transplanted with my seedlings started indoors in A-OK Rockwool cubes, and filled around them with GROWSTONES, which work fantastic in these cups, I covererd the tops of the net cups with aluminum foil taped down-helps with moisture transpiring through the top stones and also prevents any sun from causing algae on the top of the stones in the cup.I drilled 3 holes in the top of this net cup and stuck the 3 long legs of a typical 3 ring tomato cage through the holes. The legs just reached to sit on the bottom of the 5 gallon bucket. Throughout the season this was a sturdy enough cage system, to hold first a netting cover and later 3 foot eggplants and 2 foot peppers- fully loaded. See photos attached (blue tape holds down the aluminum foil). The cages and plants didn't warp these net cups, nor did lifting the covers/cups while tilting the full size plant, to add solution every few days near the end of the seasonAt the end of this season, the emptied net cups were easy to empty, wash, rinse in Clorox water and stacked away for next year. The paint looks brand new as do the net cups- they are very well made and ver much worth the price.

I’ve been using kids with holes cut into them. I decided to buy these because I like to check on roots. With these you lift right up. With the kids they snap in and hard to not hurt the plant in process. With these they lift right up no problem
