Default mulch and tomatos
From: Stephen Boulet

Do tomato plants benefit from having cold feet too?

Not really--tomatoes can be planted in black plastic mulch--this warms the
cooler spring soil for the young plants--as the weather gets hotter the plants
get bigger and provide their own shade for the ground. This and other mulches
also prevent weeds and help retain moisture
