I want to plant a tomato plant on my patio in a 5 gallon plastic bucket. Should I drill holes in the bottom, or about 2 inches up the side? What should I use in the bottom of the bucket for drainage?

Hi, again! Wow, the response I’ve got has been great– could you guys (and gals) please expand on what size containers, how much attention I have to pay to light, etc? Any pertinent details I should know/ keep in mind when endeavoring to do this?
