I like trays like these because they allow for both drainage and wicking of the water.

Most big box stores or Wal-Mart or nurseries carry them. They are a bit flimsy and may crack under the heavy plants, but you can always stack 2 of them together if they need to be transported anywhere. So far mine have lasted 3 years with only 1 cracking.

Like Rick said, start with 1/4 strength or less of fertilizer to begin with every week. I like liquid kelp and/or fish emulsion.
