I put the bottom inside the top and use them for lettuce, green onions, radishes and Sugar snap peas. Put 2 or 3 layers of cardboard in the bottom to cover up the hole.
I have never grown tomatoes in them, so i can't help you there.

I have grown tomatoes in the boxes that meat comes in. They are heavily paraffined and worked fairly well. Raise the flaps up, tape them off and you get an 18" deep box.
Set them on plywood and they will last longer.
