I would be easy enough to make the planters completely waterproof (personally, I'd just sink waterproof plastic, ceramic, or glass containers directly into the cob), but most plants also need to drain and can't sit in water. So you'll need to water sparingly and keep an eye out for symptoms of over-watering.
