Back in the 50's or 60's or so I remember my father growing delicious beefsteak tomatoes in Miami. He used if I remember correctly what was called a Japanese Circle. It was a round area about 4 feet in dia. encircled with chicken wire and maybe 4 feet tall. It was filled with compost and soil and the tomatoes grew out of the side. It produced more tomatoes than we or our neighbors could eat. Try doing a Google search as it was very successful every year and took up very little space.
