Planters are easy to come by. Whether you have little growing space outdoors, or want to beautify a patio or rooftop, pull your nearest receptacle or container from your trash and turn it into a planter. The more innovative, the more interesting and discussion-worthy for your friends and neighbors. Here are a few unusual planters we’ve come across in our travels in the Himalaya:
1) Thermos Planter
2) Styrofoam Cooler Planter
3) Paint Can and Bucket Planters
4) Gerry Can Planter
5) Barrel Planter
Guttering.
Best innovation I ever saw. Just get old cuts off guttering and you can grow all kinds of food in them.
The other great thing about this is that you can use them for vertical gardening to make these best use of limited space. If you are really clever you can make the water trickle down the system.

I’ve been dying to see photos from someone who has tried this. Sounds like such a great and easy way to grow herbs on a south-facing wall in the cold months.
