Crop rotation is the reason that I went to containers in the first place.
I have a very small plot for the garden and I ran out of places to rotate to. I figured that it is easier to 'rotate' to different containers and even replace the soil as needed to keep everything fresh.
The first year (2 years ago) it was all new and this year the tomatoes are in new soil mix. The big beef are very healthy looking and producing a lot of fruit. They just don't do much of anything above 3 feet or so. Everything else in the garden is doing great.
I have some big beef in the ground just to see how they would do, and they are about 6 feet tall now and loaded with tomatoes. They are setting new tomatoes clear up to the top.
