Default tomatoes, tubs with no drainage

Just picked up my usual 5 growbags from local diy store and noticed they are
thinner, ie: less volume. So I went around my local farms and collected some
vitamin tubs that the farmers use for feeding cattle, called "cow lick" or similar.
They are pretty big and a single grow bag barely fills 2 of them. My question is
do I need to drill holes in these tubs? My personal feeling is no because
my grow bags usually dry up very quickly in the greenhouse and they need
watering at least once a day - I have heating on at night too in the greenhouse.
Seems a waste of a good tub to drill holes in it when it can be used for 101 other
things. I was also thinking of adding something to the growbag contents to
fatten it up. Would leaf mold be any good?
