Hi again MinniePal,
I use anything that'll hold soil as a plant pot: buckets,plastic tubs, bins, big paint drums, etc. (Used a leaky water tank once for hedging). If u paint them & camouflage them with nicer looking smaller pots & plants in front, u won't even see them; or plant them with dangly-down plants that'll cover them. And I use long twigs/branches as trellis(pushed into the pot); when the plant gets taller drive 2 nails in the wall & string wire across them, u won't see that either as the plant covers it; then u can add more as the plant climbs. I've nice bendy wire that doesn't rust that u can have along with those cuttings I promised you(which I'll keep an eye on until they're a bit stronger).
cheerio, M
