Wouldn't a gallon jug in a 5 gallon bucket take up too much valuable space leaving a minimal amount of soil?
What about something like a Global bucket design?

The less soil you have the quicker it can dry out.

If you use the grow bag, leave the jug out and place the grow bag in a drip pan.
You could use any large Tupperware or Rubbermaid container just measure up about an inch or two and drill an overflow hole.
You can then either top water or bottom water.

I do this with my indoor garden.

I used to grow a lot in bags but only use a few now.
