Best way to grow tomatoes outside without plastic mulch

videorov · January 25, 2017

Im located in Bradenton, Fla and want to grow large amount of tomatoes in rows
around 165ft long but don't really want to get into using plastic mulch and use
a hiller mulch laying attachment behind the tractor.
Is there another way, I see some use straw around plants if I can get straw here
in this area?

Maybe just a circle around each plant and not have the plant real close together.

Just looking for some new ideas how I can do it.

Hay might work but I know it has grass seed in it but it still might block out weeds
while it lays there around the plant.
