More Bucket Tips, Tomatoes, Cheap Seeds, a 10 cent sprouter 

the buckets I am getting are used for detergent, and they are really difficult to remove the lid, on them it is easier to saw them off.

Can you take a knife and cut up around the lip of that lid that looks like it wont come off about every 6 inches then pop it off? Some even have small indentations where to cut around them.
