Here are some random thoughts...
You can get large ceramic pots (2 feet high!) at walmart in the spring for around $20 each. They also have large plastic or fibreglass/resin containers.

For potting, look for a cheap peat mix, usually with perlite and vermiculite. I fill the bottom third of my pots with 6" hunks of styrofoam, then put in the potting mix.

I use a LOT of fertilizer. I water the plants every day, and three times a week I use water-soluble 15-30-15, but mixed at half-strength.

If you're planting window/deck boxes, plan on watering frequently, sometimes 3X daily.
