I use grow bags with a black florist pot sunk in to the bag(cut the bottom of the pot out), then filled with compost. The toms are then plnted into the pot against a cane for support.
Start feeding after the first truss has set.

cheers Mark

The BEST way, is to grow in the border, unfortunately you then have to change the soil every year. Rather than use the usual growbags, get the deeper, planter type.

that problem is over come by using hydroponics, no soil...nothing to replace. just clean your clay pebbles and start again
