When you said flues....I went flues???????
Then I saw the picture and went oh flues.

I wonder where I could find them. It sounds like a great idea for an herb garden.

Hardware and building supply stores have them? Home Depot? I just got mine at my local old fashioned hardware store. The owner claimed he didn't have anything like that (I forgot their name so just described them) so I'm asking about cinder blocks, etc. anything open on two ends that I could "bury" and he had cinder blocks I think so we go outside and look and there he has all three sizes of flue and I said "Hey!" and he looked ashamed :-) and I teased him that here he could have been selling flues for herb gardens and he didn't think of it. . . I got the idea because Home Depot or Hechinger's or some such building supply place had interesting, open, ceramic/masonite "tiles" one year for making walkways or walls or something in the garden and had a zillion different "patterns" and colors, etc. ("open" bricks?) You could use clay pots too and just figure out how to break out the bottoms. . .

I once had a fantasy of opening a "used" container shop and having weird "containers" for planting plants in like shoes :-) and old buckets, etc. LOL I had a collection of coffee mugs I was going to have to throw out and figured one could plant tiny plants in those and sell them at flea markets for a couple bucks instead (I had like 20+ mugs); you could buy the mugs for $0.10-.25 each and plant herbs or beginning plants, cactus, etc. and resell for a couple bucks! Don't get me started about my "mobile" garden idea where you make a child's wagon a garden bed so you can move it around to follow the sun and have it look "interesting" sitting in the yard (and you could bring it up on the porch/under cover in bad weather/at night/when you're not home so it doesn't get wrecked, eaten or stolen, etc.).
