1st time grape vine

[Luke1]

I read Grapes are drought tolerant after 7 years because they have such a deep taproot,
So maybe it won't be deep enough.

'Grapevines tend to have deeper and less dense root systems than many other plants, so it's important to plant grapes in deep soils whenever possible. The health of a grapevine plant is often an indicator of its root growth. Grapevine root systems also vary somewhat, depending on the variety of grape.'

thanks will ,haha no I don't think ill leave the plug in ,I`ll put a good inch of gravel and stones in the base then fill it up with a compost soil mix and let it do its thing ,thanks

A bath tub sounds nice and generous Robert. So long as you keep the soil rich and watered (leave the plug in?) I think it'll do OK.
