Last year I planted 1 cherry & 2 beefsteaks in a garbage can. It turned out wonderful & had lots of tomatoes. Add "tums" for calcium to prevent bottom fruit rot & zinc for flowers, which in turn will be tomatoes. Water with warm water & use fertilizer. You start out with a good compost, container mix soil & plant level at about 2/3 of the garbage can. As the plants grow, had soil until you get to about 2" from the rim.
