It's been about a month and a half since I planted the tomatoes in straw bails so it is time for an update. I will just let pictures tell the story. They are growing pretty good. The soil tomatoes are a good reference to see how the two locations compare.

Comparison of soil vs straw
|
The one thing you may see in the straw bails and the soil sometimes is end rot. Some cultivars are more susceptible and I had it one of my plants. It is usually from a calcium deficiency which I see happen more in the straw bails. The fix is to spray some calcium on the plants which you can find at your gardening store.
