I'm going put some bamboo in 5 gal buckets with concrete. I don't really want to sink the plastic buckets. Has anyone had any luck getting the concrete and bamboo out of the buckets without destroying the bucket?

I'm going put some bamboo in 5 gal buckets with concrete. I don't really want to sink the plastic buckets. Has anyone had any luck getting the concrete and bamboo out of the buckets without destroying the bucket?
My thought would be to use a plastic heavy duty trash bag inside the bucket. I've never done this but may work!
Tried the trash bag. Didn't work. So we split the buckets about 3/4 of the way down and got the cement out. Then we used rope to tie the buckets back together, put another trash bag in and poured the cement in. When the cement dried just untie the bucket and pull the bag and cement out. I seem to always over think things and make it more complicated than it should be.

I don't know if it would work. As a kid I would watch the crew pour curbs in a new community. They would spray oil on the steel forms, supposedly the concrete wouldn't stick to the steel.
I've read a few threads about splitting the bucket down both sides from the top to the base, leave the bottom untouched. Use duct tape to seal the split. Place a loop of wire in the center if you plan to control your drops.
I see you're in MS too. I have a ton of 5 gallon buckets, some with and without handles. If close, stop by for some.
I used a concrete block, then a little concrete to hold the cane in place.

try greasing the bucket with axle grease that is or diesel fuel that is what we used on plywood forms to make them release from concrete
Plastic bag in the bucket should be much cleaner and not pollute the water like fuel would .
Plastic bag in a split bucket works good. But I do like the looks of that concrete block a quickcrete.

I saw it here on CDC, drill one hole in the bottom of the bucket, use your air nozzle to put a burst of air in that hole.
Pops right off!

Going into a lake would recommend biodegradable vegetable oils or shortening for non stick and the air nozzle. Works like a charm each and every time. In this age of high technology the simplest tricks still work well . Happy New Year to you all !

I use the concrete blocks with a little quikrete ,I have made them ten ft. tall,works great as long as the bottom surface of lake is flat.i've known it to last for 3 yrs.even after the leaves fall off you still have a small stake bed.my wife and I dropped one back in the summer,i was curious to see how quick it attracted fish.we went back to it about 30 minutes later and caught 2 nice slabs off of it.
It lasts good for a couple years then just poles . We built a bunch after 2010 drawdown on lake here . Not much left on 2016 drawdown . I like wood better .Quote:

I have heard that cane tops can be repulsive to crappie. I have never caught great numbers of fish off cane that I have put out. I have caught some good ones though. What kind of experience do others have?
Drill a 1/4" hole in bottom of bucket and get a rubber tip air Chuck. You can shoot a blast of air into the bottom of bucket after concrete has set up and it will loosen the bucketQuote:
