Yes but if you are worried about root nematodes, double dig your hole with a lot of composted manure. You may end up replacing the top 12" of your garden soil around the tomato hole. You might try rototilling. Compost the old soil to kill nematodes. I haven't yet had a nematode problem and grow tomatoes in the same spots every year. The amending of soil has the added bonus of putting a lot of living organisms back in the soil that create a healthy and beneficial root as well as replenish nutrients. Tomatoes are heavy feeders. Oh, and I add a source of calcium and phosphorous when I amend soil for most veggies. Good luck!
