You can do it yourself with a 5-ish gallon bucket and some landscape fabric instead of the store-bought kits.
You can even run planting holes up the side, too, for other crops (strawberries work well this way, since they're off the ground where slugs, bugs, and other critters can dine on them at leisure.)
I've also seen people make little 'skirts' out of decorative fabric so it doesn't look as tacky.
