This is the first time I've grown Momotaro in both an EB & in-ground. For what it's worth, my family tasted them both today side by side and we all liked the in-ground one better. There wasn't a huge difference, but it was noticeable. The EB one had a weaker taste.
Disclaimer: This was not a scientific study
. Also, the Momotaros I grew last year in-ground were waaaaay better than the ones this year.
I will continue to grow tomatoes in EBs anyways because I believe they produce more and they serve a purpose esp in areas where there are soil-borne diseases and for people who do not have a garden.
