I started with 4 Ikea Borrby Lanterns, with a door that opens, it's easy to put herbs in them and it's like a green house for them. Then I purchased 2 Plant Hangers at Home Depo Model No 844545A. My husband cut the 2 plant hangers at the bottom so they were not as tall (so I could reach and water the herbs). Then he epoxied them together to form the 4 hanger pole, then repainted them. Made a wooden foundation that fit into the pot really tight. Drilled a hole through the center to slide the plant hanger into so it stood up straight. The pot is from Walmart Garden Center. I liked these because they are very heavy/sturdy and have their own pan built into the bottom to catch the water overflow. I put pebbles at the bottom, added soil and then picked up 4 different herbs that I use a lot. You don't see it here, but after the pictures, I did add tomatoe plants to the pot. Can't wait to get cooking.
