James, thanks for the link.
The problem with hardwood mulch James was referring to is if it is made out of Black Walnut it can cause problems with tomatoes. Otherwise you may need to supplement the nitrogen in the soil as the microbes use nitrogen to break down the mulch which will later become available to the soil. It can acidify the soil but if you have added lime to the soil it shoudn't be a player as tomatoes like soil on the acid side anyway. Ami
