I planted tomatoes into heavy cover crop residue many times. I don't like it but it happens to everybody sooner or later. Never had a fertility peoblem as long as I rotavated over the field 2x. Plants I grow are in 2" cells so they have a good fertilizer reserve to hold them over... Bob.

The area into which I am transplanting some roma tomatoes has quite a bit if oat straw left over from last fall's cover cropping.  I've used my Perfecta field cultivator and now the rotovator to work the soil and incorporate the straw.  The soil is more "trashy" than I normally plant into so I am wondering: will there be a detrimental affect on the transplants and should I give them some additional fertility to help them?
