Default tomatoes progress report of concreteblock gardening

I am running into some difficulty with tomatoes using the concreteblock
method.
I suspect tomatoes only really do great when their stem and branches can
touch the ground and throw out more roots. Rather than be staked upright.
If they do
best by running along the ground rather than staked then the concreteblock
method is not amenable because the plant has too far to reach to get the
main
stem to the ground. So far my experience has been that tomatoes do best
when
they run along the ground making a larger root system.

Anyone have counter experience? The drawback to not staking is that many
fruits are touching the ground and susceptible to spoilage.
