Hi Pippi,
Here is a picture of my second container and tulip Merry Christmas has appeared near the center. It is going to add a strong element of red to the combination. I use commercial planting pots and the black pots that shrubs come in. However, this year I have come to appreciate the curved edge at top that provides a hand-hold, and if I had a pot any larger than this, I would have trouble lifting it. I have to lift them over and over to position them for watering and for photography. A pot that is 18 inches across the top and 13 inches deep, as these are, is as big as I want to struggle with. I got the leaves from my yard, and I gathered them with a bagging attachment on my riding mower. Its a great source of material for mulching and for composting. Even after insulating bulb containers through the winter, the leaves are still available for other uses in the warm season.
