thank you for the article, was a helpfull read
styrofoam will work, but impractical transportation for those of us on foot

the only cam i have is in my phone and i am too paranoid to use it, sorry... maybe i can get my hands on one later until then my results:
it works, but to get pics and hard data we will have to wait a year, so check back then :)

plastic bowl 19"
motorcycle tire tube 15" (the thicker the better)
microfiber cloth (for really fine glass/chrome polish)
camo net or stealthy cloth
wire

pick/clear a spot
pump up the tire till its volume is roughly 1.5-2 times that of a filled bowl
place tire
wrap camo net around tire, leave some slack in the middle / hole, tie loose ends together under tire
make a wick out of the cloth by wrapping it around itself, wire one end
make a hole in the center of the bowl
stick the wick into the hole, wire end under the bowl
unravel the wick back into a cloth, dont touch the wire end
cut cloth in 2 or more parts, up to hole
spread like a rose (this is to increase surface contact with the earth)
put bowl into tire, make sure the bowl is high above water
add earth into bowl, put some under the spread cloth
carefully water the earth till its fully soaked, make sure the bowl does not touch the water, if so add pressure and or adjust camo net
wait till the water stops dripping
adjust camo net and or tire pressure so that the bottom of the bowl barely touches the water
we know have roughly our max weight if it rains non stop (excluding weight of plant)
done!

I recommend Low Stress Method so that it does not get too high since strong winds might capsize it.

If you are a real badass instead of camo net, use tough stealthy cloth and skip the bowl, just fill the middle, puncture some holes for drainage and root growth (careful not to hit the tire).

Oh and one more thing the tire tube is an excellent fingerprint magnet.
