Anything goes when it comes to plant pots

In the photos, you can see four of the different pots that hold plants at this house-sit. There is an old washtub, a very solid wooden trough, an old tin trunk and another round container that I don’t recognise. It seems anything that will hold soil has been used to hold a plant but these are four of my favourites.
I particularly like the one of the old tin trunk (lower right). Most pots throughout the house sit in another container so that any water from drainage doesn’t go on the floor.

I'm going to give that a try, I have a large pot with a pinhole at the bottom I just need some kind of plate to put under it or if I can find a wider pot maybe put that it in there. Thanks for these ideas.

The other one looks like car rims to me. Do they have any tire ones?

@wolfgirl569 I grew potatoes in tyres once. Started with two tyres. When the foliage got above the tyres, I added another and filled it with dirt. I ended up with several layers of potatoes.

I did that at the other house. 
Whatever I had handy when someone gave me a new plant or a new start. I filled buckets, totes and trash cans with soil and planted in it.
You can always tell the people who love their plants. The pots don't match and most of them aren't meant to be pots.

As long as there is a hole for drainage anything will do for planting
