Use 5 gallon pail with good metal bail. Tie a line around each end of the plastic hand grip to form a bridal. Now simply tie the hanging line to the center of the bridal.I shoved foam rubber in the hole around the stem to stop the water from pushing the dirt out. If you live in real hot country best to use a white bucket or cover with tin foil. You can also consider cutting a hole in the lid to and putting it on to conserve moisture but I just committed the top plant and let the lid whole.

I also used reusable fabric grocery bags but one has to be careful which one to use.The handles fail and while they do grow just fine whats the point of growing fine if the whole works ends up crashed onto the ground. If I used a bag again I would tie it up with a stout line and not try to hang from the straps.The last time I hung from the straps it crashed to the GH floor. I was so discussed I just let it grow the rest of the way from there.
