I just feel that with a bottomless bucket inside on with a bottom gives you more space for your plant. You can add more potting mix or whatever you think your plant might like. As for the pipes I push one down, say six or eight inches pull it out and clean out the dirt then put it back. That way when you water the water goes deep and your roots will have to reach it. Your mixture sounds almost like mine and as far as I am concerended the bucket system is only a round earth box. Only home made. I do not mix in layers I ususally mix it in a wheel barrell then put in buckets. Another don't laugh I have dead fish mixed in some of them. Heck the Indians did it. My container plants are way ahead of the ground ones. I just drill one small hole in the side of the bucket. Say 1/4 inch and no bigger. That way you will not drown the plant. If you have earth boxes you know probably more than I do about growing vegetables. These are some of my peas also there is cabbage,some more tomatos and okra along with several other things I can't remember right now.
