Default Do I need soil?

I was given straw bedding for my Tortoise when i bought it. It's the tightly compound stuff. I am spread that across the whole of his area. Added a few rocks etc to climb on, and a hide.

Some of the pictures I am seeing online for pet shops and some other owners have half of the area covered in the same bedding I do, and the other half covered in soil. Is this necessary? Or is this just a personal preference thing?
Obviously if it's just a choice issue then I'm happy leaving the lil guy with his straw stuff, but if he NEEDS the other then I'll get it sorted straight away!

Thanks for your help! I'm learning bit by bit along the way. Hopefully get there soon
