Now, the flea beetles don't mess with my tomatoes all that much, but they love Eggplants. Are you sure it's flea beetles going after your tomatoes? I know there are number of differnt types of flea beetles too. Maybe some like tomatoes. The ones I have just seem to like Eggplants, (and tomatillos), but they never bother my tomatoes.
Either the mulch has helped or something else has. The eggplants are still untouched. I'm amazed! Not complaining though. What Polar-Lace said makes a lot of sense to me. I think you're onto something there.
