Can I compost all the small potatoes


It's adviseable not to compost them or peelings from others.


Why not?


Because they do sprout in compost? I had loads of potato and tomato
seedlings in my garden, which got there via my compost heap. Franky,
they are among the easiest weeds to pull, and I have even left a few to
do their thing - got about 500 grs worth of toms from a few of them...
I haven't lifted the couple of spuds yet.
