I want a well bucket, and was thinking to spend $40 total. Ha!
Anyone have thoughts on the homemade ones? (at the bottom of post) I do already have a pulley to attach to a wooden frame not yet built.
Should I use a rope, or would a steel cable be better?
Ours is a 75 ft well with 25 ft water level.

Homemade pvc well buckets, no pricing info. The first one looks better to me.

check out the vintage way getting water out of a well by making a Bailer Bucket out of large PVC pipe. It can be sanded to get the writing off, or painted if you want to fancy it up.

How to use it:

How to make it:

Mediterranean climate, hugel trenches, fabulous clay soil high in nutrients, self-watering containers with hugel layers, keyhole composting with low hugel raised beds, thick Back to Eden Wood chips mulch (distinguished from Bark chips), using as many native plants as possible....all drought tolerant.

 
It would give a normal human mental abilities to rival mine. To think it is just a tiny ad:
