tomatoes I grow in builders buckets, and aubs and peppers seemed to do Ok in flower buckets (free from some places 8 for 99p in Morrisons).

25 litres for a tomato plant IMHO

Keep an eye out for flower buckets at filling stations. They usually throw them away and are only too happy for you to take them.
