How to make a tiered container garden with broken pots

One of the ways that I upcycle old and cracked pots is to stack them inside another pot. These bits and pieces allow me to plant succulents at different levels which makes the container look a bit more interesting.

Broken pieces I push directly into the soil to create terraces which are then planted with different types of plants. 

Smaller cracked pots are placed either upright on top of the container such as the vintage marmalade jar shown on the right or on their side as shown in the photograph below.

I have a small hen & chick planted in the opening of this sideways pot but other types of succulents will also work.  Creeping varieties of sedum work best but if you do want something taller, then it must be planted on the edge of the opening or it won't have enough room to grow.
