Straw is a good mulch. It will also help keep moisture in the soil..

Reply:Straw is good during the cold season to keep down frost, but should be removed when warmer weather comes. The straw will mold on the underside, so turn it often, but again remove it when warm weather comes, bugs love straw and if you want good mold free, bug free tomatos dump the straw, next year, if going to use much should be from a hard wood like oak, saw dust from hard wood is good in small amounts, straw is not the best thing of choice. I'm a old fart that has had many gardens and love tomatos
