I would tend to agree. I certainly never saw too much organic matter before. I start my seedlings in a vermiculite mix, but once they get repotted I use a 50/50 blend of peat and compost. That's almost 100% organic matter and tomatoes love it.

And to answer your OP, No, typically I do not fertilize beyond the original set out into the field where I do use ferts to "mud them in".(mostly compost tea)
