I would not try to patch one of these totes. For one thing,
it would be difficult to find a patching material that will
stick to it: http://www.epoxywarehouse.com/marine...ddy-epoxy.html
(I would not worry about the epoxy leaching, as it becomes a hard
material like glass when it sets up. Think of fiberglass on the side
of a fiberglass boat.)

For another thing, the plastic that the tote is made from and
the patching material will expand and contract at different rates
with heating and cooling. So even if it seems to seal at first,
it may not stay that way.

If you can completely empty and dry it first, you might be able
to patch it from the inside with uncured rubber (if you can find
it; web searches turned up empty the last time I looked, but
a general construction supply will sometimes have it.) The water
pressure will press the rubber into the crack, so it stays sealed
even as the plastic expands and contracts.

I have had a SWC made out of a tote leak. I cut the bottom off
and converted it to a conventional container.

edit:
Elastomeric paint (swimming pool paint) on the inside might
work, but I question how well it will adhere to the plastic.
You would need a special primer. By the time you buy all of
the necessary repair materials, you could have bought a new
one to make a new Earthtainer from and kept the other one
for a conventionally watered bottomless container.
