You might consider Grow Bags.There is nothing cheaper, and they're so convenient. I started out building self-watering plant boxes, and they were great additions to my garden. Since then, however, I've evolved into becoming a Grow Bag supporter.

Peaceful Valley Farm and Garden Supply is one supplier of Grow Bags. They have Grow bags in nine sizes, from one quart (3"X3"X7-1/2") for $0.15 to 30-gallons (20"X19"X28") for $2.49.

My suggestion is that you try Grow Bags. They're self-standing after being filled, but if you want something more attractive, you can always build little boxes for them. In the picture below, you'll see one 5-gallon Grow Bag and the small self-watering plant box I built last year. A larger plant box (4'X8') is to the right. A box to surround your Grow Bags would be much easier and cheaper to build.
