    This will depend on the type of flowers, as they will have different root ball sizes. You will want to pick a container based on how large the root mass will be for each plant.

    You could buy or build a small table or stand. Or a hanger. Check local garden centers for available options. Other ideas: invert another pot and match up the drainage holes, place brick or blocks under the pot.

    They are interchangeable methods, and can be used in place of one another, or with each other in the same garden. Both methods are popular, and have been used since ancient times so it can be hard to say which is more popular.

    I suppose the answer would be that whichever subject that is more familiar within a certain region will be the most popular method. This can vary greatly among any given area.

    p.s. While the fabric bag itself is not harmed by cold temps, the bag offers no protection to plant roots. If perennials or shrubs are grown, you should cluster them together for the winter and surround the bags with leaves stuffed into leaf or trash bags or with mulch. Any plant above ground is considered to be in hardiness zone one zone colder than your actual zone. For example, if you live in zone 6, your fabric bag plants are effectively in zone 5; keep this in mind when choosing plants.

    Smart Pots are one brand of fabric pot. They are not harmed by low temps. If they are dark colored, they will absorb heat which may make your plant roots a bit uncomfortable. When they are clustered together, they shade each other but you do want to leave some space between them to ensure good air circulation. They will not block pesticide spray. You can find more information at SmartPots.com

    If your garden planting areas can accommodate trees, then shade trees are another possibility. It is considerably cooler underneath the foliar canopy of a neem tree.
