Hello Anthony, if your buckets have holes around the side you should be OK without drilling holes in the bottom. I always put holes around the sides as it makes it easier to see if water is getting right to the bottom when watering.

Holes around the side as opposed to the bottom give a little water reservoir for the plants!
