My understanding is that if you don't rotate your tomatoes you increase the
risk of disease, especially soil-borne fungal diseases like fusarium,
verticillium. On the other hand, I've also heard that you can rotate every
third year and get away with it.  I'm growing tomatoes in a deep raised bed
for the 2nd year and so far so good--they are setting fruit and thriving
although my Roma has a bad case of leaf-curl which has me concerned, though
no other adverse effects (knock wood).  I'll bet it depends too on whether
you get a killing frost, and whether you supplement your soil by adding
compost or organic material annually, but now I'm speculating.

Good luck with all your tomatoes.
