3. Increased yields: Tomatoes usually get better growing conditions in Dutch buckets due to better space for the root system to breathe and develop, thus increasing yields.
4. Strong ornamental: The beautiful design of the Dutch bucket makes it not only practical, but also enhances the landscape effect, suitable for home gardening and urban gardening.
