I drilled drainage holes in all the buckets. I also have irrigation tubes that I run to each bucket so if there isn't rain in the forecast I auto water them for about 5 minutes every morning.
I'm not sure of the exact number of seed potatoes I put in each bucket(I cut each one into pieces that all have eyes) but I place them with about 2 inches between each one and the bucket sides.
I've already harvested all my potatoes this year and harvested about 9 gallons worth so not bad at all.
