Made out of what looks to be 2 or 3 litter pop bottles.

Those poor plants just don't look happy. Probably not going to be enough
soil to keep the plants going in the long haul. I'd think that the clear
plastic would cook the roots when the sun is in full on summer mode.

Made out of buckets

The guy across the street has two 5 gallon white buckets hanging on his
balcony he grows tomatoes in. They always seem to do pretty well. He grows
herbs in the top of the buckets.

Using those hanging baskets

Yeah.. I think the best DIY bet would be those 5 gallon buckets.. I had
several I cleaned and kept when I sealed the driveway at the old house.

Seems like the bigger the container the better the plants do, which is
no surprise.
