I don't have a lot of land in the front of my home and there is a bare area near the entry that needed some color and glamor. I went to tag sales and picked up many different used pots to plant in. I used different objects that would give me assorted levels. You can use old step stools, baskets, bricks, anything you can find to create a variety of elevations. I planted the pots in front with a colorful assortment. In no time at all I had the neighbors coming over to admire the beauty of nature.
ThriftyFun is one of the longest running frugal living communities on the Internet. These are archives of older discussions.
I'm interested in hearing people's experiences/tips about container gardening.
