problem is, you've wound up raising commercial-grade tomatoes. they're bred to hold their shape, not for flavor. i.e., supermarket tomatoes taste like crap. which is why that first tomato sitting on your counter looked almost new after a month.
do yourself a favor and buy some heirloom tomatoes and grow them upside down since you don't have good soil. tomatoes don't actually need soil to grow. the flavor will be out of this world compared to the kind you're growing now.
