okra in containers?

I don't know much about okra. To my knowledge it's a plant that sends out vines, which is just an inherent part of it's growth pattern. I could be wrong on this, I know very little about okra; if so, please correct me on this.

I've heard that it takes up a decent amount of space with growing. Is it possible to grow okra in containers? If so, please specify what size container you need (please specify this info in gallons).

I have found hybrid varieties of okra that are bush types and thus more compact than their traditional counterparts as a result.

Do you have to train okra to climb a trellis?

What preferences does it have with soil and feeding it as far as fertilizing goes?
