my mother in law does the gravel in the bottom thing. she kills me she'll get a bucket with no holes in the bottom, fill it with a few inches of gravel, dig some dirt from the yard, plant something, and then spend the rest of the year complaining about how it wouldn't grow and that "all those plant companies are rip-offs". i used to tell her she had to have holes and good dirt but after a while i just gave up.
i would also like a good homemade container recipe i'll be checking this thread!
