[...] In my experience, you can use any kind of container imaginable to grow vegetables in containers. Vegetables that require very little room for roots–such as radishes, lettuce, and herbs–can be grown in window box containers or shallow dishpan containers. Carrots can be grown in flower pots. Tomatoes grow easily in 5-gallon buckets (available at any home improvement store). Heck, you can even grow tomatoes directly in a bag of potting soil! [...]
