I think a 5 gallon bucket might be overkill, but you can get rolling pot feet to make moving it around easier. twintoria–I’ve grown parsley, very large parsley plants, in pots no deeper than 10-12 inches.

We had a fun evening folding origami pots out of old newspapers! When you transplant, just trim the bottom corners off and stick the whole thing in the dirt: the paper decomposes, and the roots grow right through.

The thing about parsley is that it has a taproot, so you need something at least 18 inches deep for it to be happy. I've looked for years for a milk can to act as a decorative and functional parsley-pot, but they are popular with collectors, so a bit pricey.
