A raised garden bed would probably be better than the plastic drums. If you do go with plastic, make sure you have drainage holes in them. You might even need to drill them in the sides of the drums, depending upon the height of them to make sure your plants don't get too wet and rot. Here is a link to all kinds of the raised beds that would likely work for you: Raised garden beds.
This one is particularly nice! Raised planter.
Many items can be used to create a raised bed. You will need drainage to prevent rot.
No problem. Just make sure you have drainage holes in the bottom. People have made raised beds out of so many creative things
