I found a container that I think would work, but am not sure. Is a container roughly 9-10 inches long, 5 inches wide and 4-5 inches deep big enough to make a mini bog garden out of? I'll of course drill some holes into it, about an inch or two from the bottom, and am planning on using it to grow VFTs. Here is a picture of the container.

should work just fine, but you have to keep in mind that small containers will freeze really fast if the temperatures get low enough.

I did a similar one a couple months ago. I used the dollar store dish pans, which are a little bigger though. It's still up in the air on how well mine is working, since my plants started going dormant shortly after I set it up. So far so good though.

I also used a big potter, probably about 14-16 inches to setup a wick system bog, which seems to be doing okay too.

Happy growing!
