I've got a huge container I use for composting. The other day I put a lot of banana fronds in it and it was sticking up over the top by two feet. Now it's below the top. Lizards hang out in it eating the fruit flies and gnats.

So it can work. But it's got to be big.

Anyway, if you don't water all the way through the pot/container at least once a week you'll get a build up of salt which will burn the roots.
