Here is the soil mix I am using for the tomatoes. It is about 1/5th 2-3 year old leaf mulch, 1/5th last years compost remains, and 3/5ths new till garden soil. Mixed it all together and then heated to around 140 F to kill most seeds and harmful bacteria while keeping many beneficial microbes for the soil. I tested some of my regular tomato seeds in it a few weeks ago and they seemed to do great in this soil.
