    How did you keep the pots from sliding into each other so that there is still room left for the plants?

    Layers of dirt then set the next pot in and if you need to stablize it you can add a bit of thin pipe or barb steel up through the center. That will keep them aligned and the dirt you add to the level so that you can plant around the lower pots. Okay? Just ask if you have any more questions.

    Great, I was concerned abut the 'wobbliness of it', but that seems to clear it up. Thanks. :-)

    Once they are filled with soil and plants they aren't that wobbly but the pipe down the center helps too.

    @ Jeanette freeze, can you post a pic of your teapot with flowers and how to do it? I would love to do that.

    Can't you put a pot upside down and then another pot right side up on top of that one? Fill with soil and continue doing it the same way until you have what you want?
