Anytime you use containers, I believe in using potting MIX and not soil. Soil tends to be heavy/dense and not good for the health of roots imo when in containers. I use regular miracle gro potting mix (whatever can be had at the big box stores) in red party/beer cups and 2.5 months is max for tomatoes in that container size.
