This one said to cover the bucket in plastic so it does not stick. http://www.thehypertufagardener.com/oh-the-possibilities-draped-hypertufa/

It does look cute! What type of material is the bucket? Can you gently pry it out with something or if it's plastic and you don't need it - break it out if you have to.

I would chalk this up as experience- and drill holes in the project on the bottom for drainage and plant it! If you cannot gently lift it out it is not going to come out. you will break the concrete/hypertufa towel on the outside if you keep trying to get the bucket out. i had this happen to me on a project and i just went with it and it made a nice planter. good luck

I'd leave the bucket inside at this point. You could drill holes for drainage, but it might loosen up after a bit and the bucket might pop out.
