A couple of questions:

Do you have to worry about the pots getting too hot and burning the roots ? Temps in my garden stay in the high 90s and low 100s for most of the summer months.

I do have the gravely/rocky soil, but I can't call it rich soil. I also don't create enough plant materials to feed a compost pile, so would potting soil work instead of compost ?

Since the plants would be grown in containers, the only source of plant nutrients would be what I added to the pot. What would you recommend ?

I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.
