Save Your Joint- -Compound buckets, that is. Seriously, those
extremely common, ubiquitous, you could say, 5-gallon
polyethylene buckets are IDEAL for landscape and gardening work.
Thick-walled, heavy duty buckets are worth at least 6 dollars
apiece. Save your lid. Another pun, but seriously, don't only
save the pail, save the container's lid too. At least, try to
save some lids. You'll be glad you did too when toting water and
when you want to seal a container on occasion. Watch for what
gets left as residue. We're being too "punny" yet again, right?
But this is important when you consider the cleanup. Find any
five gallon bucket when you can and consider what material was
inside originally and how readily you can clean out the residue.
Joint compound has such poor adhesion to the polyethylene
plastic it scrapes away easily when dry. It's also very water
soluble too. In short your cleanup with joint compound will be a
snap, that's why we're recommending it first. Okay, that and the
chance to make humorous puns,. Many materials come in 5-gallon
plastic buckets today. While roofing tar won't make a good
container to save unless you want a disposable one-time- use
garbage can, latex-based driveway sealer and commercial-sized
latex-based paint rinse out as easily as joint compound. Over
time build up a collection, maybe a dozen or so of these
buckets. If you're not getting 'em from "new" from work at your
house, stop by where you see construction and ask if you can
have any "empties," or check the trash dumpster. One DON'T is
when storing the containers, DON'T PUT ONE DIRECTLY INSIDE THE
NEXT. DON'T STACK THEM. The slightly tapered smooth walls and
static electricity of the polyethylene will almost weld the
buckets together. Drop a scrap of 2 x 4 wood, a small rock or
two, you get the idea, in the bottom of each bucket as you place
them one into another. Good luck.
