    While working in the yard today I was reminded of my simple way to keep ya buckets from sticking together while storing, carrying ,and deploying them where you need them. Want to rally impress folks walk out of the shed with a stack of 6 buckets and just with a flick of a handle drop 1 or more where ya want them.

    5 gallon buckets are prolly the most versatile thing ya can have in ya shed, they are usually free and only have 1 flaw. My trick fixes that.
    :D

    Super idea, but at my house, your trick has one more flaw. My 5 gallon buckets are all full of stuff; special soil mixes, lava rock, mulch, and the list goes on. My question is "how do you keep a 5 gallon bucket empty?":rolleyes:

    True I have several in use always. they are no problem and I am in them all the time. But when you do need to stack them thats when my trick is a real saver. Any one who has struggled to separate 2 of them will appreciate this :)
