I made this container herb garden this weekend, in the largest colander that I could find (16 quarts). Green moss was used to line the colander to help prevent the loss of moisture, and the I filled most of the cavity with potting soil. The plants are: sweet basil, "Red Rubin" basil (an Italian style purple leafed basil), pansy flowers, and Flavor Magic Lime Thyme. The plants are arranged so that the ones that grow the tallest are in the middle (basil), and the shortest are on the outside (the thyme is a creeper, so as it grows it should cascade down the pot).
