One way to do this is drill out a hole in the bottom end of the pot.  
Hole should be large enough for a 1-1/4" galvanized pipe and about 12"
deep.
1. Dig a hole in the ground about 8" dial and 16" deep
2.  Set a piece of 1-1/4 galvanized pipe in the hole with 14" projecting
out.  Make sure the pipe is plumb.
3. Pour concrete.
