I have had to resort to container gardening too because of health. Last year i planted a few things in starfoam chests and they have turned out to be good planters. Two are planted for the second year. I bought quite a few more this year. I do buy my potting soil. The same kind my local nursery uses. I buy it in huge bags. I fertilize with liquid Miracle Grow. So far i have 6 tomato plants,3 pots of cukes(4plants to a pot.),4 sweet peppers,2 containers of radishes,2 of onions,2 of lettuce. Also strawberrys.
I made several holes in the bottom of chests.
I already have a lot of daylillys and other flowers in containers.
