Currently we grow out greenhouse tomatoes in pots, with the borders being pebbles over weed membrane instead of soil, but I would like to grow in the ground next year for a few reasons. Just slightly concerned about the potential of disease.
I've been growing toms in both GH border soil for decades. Every couple or three years I dig out, say, 8" or more soil and replace with sieved veg patch soil. Only one year had disease problem but that was a fungus due to poor ventilation not the soil. Mind you it's only an 8x6 GH so it's not that much work to change the soil, anything bigger could be a chore.
