.I have 24 old cow / horse mineral heavy plastic buckets 2 ft tall...by 24 in wide.
We have stacks of those!
Our neighbor, who also repairs our tractor, grows his entire annual produce consumption in these mineral buckets. He drills small holes, near the bottom of each.
I may try a few, but, my latest thing to try are cloth Smart Pots. Just something different to try. We’re on acreage, too, but I love being able to set it up in different areas and start with my own soil mixes.
I do Bonsai also...so some of the tubs are for that.
