You can grow tomatoes and most vegetables in just about any soil. True, you will have a much easier time—and so will your plants—if you spade or plow in a 3 -4 -inch layer of peat moss. This "opens up" the soil so air and water get down to the roots (roots must breathe!). How deep to spade or plow? Six inches is best, four a passable minimum.
