With the excellent sun we get here, its a shame not to.  You can go to
Safeway or King Soopers bakeries and get 2 1/2 to 5 gallon buckets for
nothing.  You can put rocks and clean gravel in the bottom, then fill with
good soil.  Gather up dark soil from around under deciduous trees, that will
be really rich and organic.  Go easy on the Sawdust unless you can set the
bucket in front of a window for the reflected sun.  Or even a white painted
wall.
The air is thin here so the sunlight is more intense and everything does
really well with good soil and water.
