Difficult but yes, still possible, especially so in containers. It is just another of the problems associated with using containers.

The issue can be eliminated even more by using much larger containers - the bigger the container the less frequent watering is required - so a 25-35 gallon container can be just like growing the plant in the ground when it comes to watering.

And even better, using a drip irrigation system on a timer. A slow but steady drip system can keep the soil moisture level consistent and eliminate the soaked till it drains-dry-soaked till it drains-dry cycle inherent in containers.
