  • So Many Buckets

    Decatur! We have been placing so many buckets in yards!

    Intown Ace Hardware on Scott Blvd is continuing to stock supplies for mosquito buckets, including black buckets and snap-on hydroponic lids and dunks (notice our instructions on the bottom shelf of the endcap). We are so grateful for the ways they are collaborating with us to spread the buckets. The above pictures are from June 20, when Andy Jones had brought in all the buckets and lids in his warehouses to make sure that Ace had them in stock. Thanks, Andy, for the efforts and the photographs!

    When I was at Ace yesterday, the same shelves looked like this ^^^. They were almost down to single digits (that is a stack of 10 from my special order being returned to stock so that they would be available for those who want to DIY). Don’t worry – I am filling all current orders AND Ace got more today.

    Patrick even told me that he drives around Decatur and sees black buckets and knows exactly where they came from! Thanks, everyone. This is a wonderful challenge, exactly what we hoped for!

  • Restocking Day

    Intown Ace Hardware on Scott Blvd got more buckets today. They were down to only 1 this morning; and they posted our sign with instructions and a QR code to more details on our website. Thanks, Andy (and Decatur/Avondale friends)!

    B Buckets has restocked, too!

  • Intown Experiments

    In addition to offering buckets directly, we are developing and instructions for Intown Ace Hardware, revising our bucket designs slightly to accommodate the materials they have in stock or on order, especially for this project. Black buckets arrive on Friday, March 7. Thanks, Andy Jones, for your help thinking through solutions for design challenges. Here is a preview of the location–shelf still in progress–in case you want to DIY as early as this weekend — it is time, Decatur!

     

  • Local Buckets – Intown Ace

    Today I picked up buckets from Intown Ace Hardware on Scott Blvd in Decatur (thank you, Tony and Andy!) to get started on workshops and distributions before the season starts. Intown Ace is stocking supplies and posting our instructions, coming soon. They provided all of the buckets and MosquitoDunks for the workshop in the “Growing with Dana” series at Agnes Scott on Feb. 26, the first time that Peter and I presented together.

    We are so grateful for their continuing support of our initiative.

    We have included instructions on OUR BUCKETS page. Whether you buy ours or DIY some, please consider trying buckets rather than spraying! And please shop local!
