My tomatoes are loving the same soil without the perlite. They are in the 18 gal tubs I plan to use. I put some local squirmy worms in with the top dressing/mulch. There's plenty of critters in the soil too. Some I've never seen before but nature is keeping things balanced. Outside, that's fine. Do I want to bring all of that life, good and bad, into the house? By October that soil can definitely be considered living. Just chop the tomato plants and cover crop and plant in those? Who wants to help carry them up the steps? OR, start off fresh? Something to think about and there's plenty of time.
p.s. - Fathers Day hook up from Multiverse - Gnome, Mephisto and Night Owl. Also some Freebies from Atlas and Gnome. So cool, but I have to wait until fall at least. Or just start a " hard to get" bean collection.
