I'm using the black flower buckets found in supermarkets for my toms , peppers and aubagines this year and instead of putting holes in the bottom i put a ring of holes around the pot about a third of the way up friom the bottom so the water has drainage but the bottom third of the pot acts as a water table and the compost above it will draw up water if it's to dry.
