Do any of you rfc'rs do it? If so, how?

I have access to a buncha Mom's old storage containers, some been out in
the sun so long they're about to fall apart. Others, newer. Can I
utilize these? I can imagine/fab false bottoms and holes. Air
circulation. I have most of a 25lb bag o' organic potting soil. Can
provide food wastes. I have organic plant food, which is mostly worm
casings. Seems to me real worms would be even better.

Strikes me that growing good tomatoes is more than a hanging gimmick grower
and a garden hose.

I ate some homegrown tomatoes about 20 yrs ago. This when mrkt
tomatoes were already crap and had been for a long time. These
homegrown tomatoes were astonishing! Flavor I'd not tasted in 20 yrs
before or anytime since. Unfortunately, grown by ppl from a very
remote part of my in-law's family, which soon passed on, so I never
really learned the secret. I wanna rediscover that. I think good
soil is the answer. Again, got any compost and/or worm fans out
there?
