Where can I find giant containers or pots for tomato plants?

I just ordered 6 prolific producer tomato plants and I need to put them in large containers. I was thinking of half whiskey barrels or garbage pails but I would have to decorate them somehow so they don't look like garbage pails how would I do that? Or do you know where I can find these size containers for very little (10$ or less) or free?

Go to a carwash %26amp; see if you can pick-up some empty plastic 55gal. containers. Cut 'em down, wash 'em out , %26amp; drill drainage wholes in the bottom. All for free %26amp; your ready to go!

Reply:Depending on where you are you can go to a winery and pick a few whole barrels up for cheaper and cut them yourself. Otherwise it'll cost you at the hardware store probably in the $20 range.
Reply:We buy our containers (14" across the top) from WalMart. They hold 25 lbs of vegetable potting soil which you can also buy from WalMart. Be sure to use tomato fertilizer. And water, water, water each day. Tomatoes need water. We water at the same time each and every morning. :o)





P.S.


Look at this, they are wonderful:
