I have a number of rotten and over ripe tomatoes in the garden now,
Should I put them in the compost pile, or should I let them just sit
on the ground or should I throw them away.


Compost or pitch them would be my choice of the answers above.
If you know how to build a hot compost pile, I'd toss in the tomatoes,
tomato plants, and other fall debris and cook it well... even if it
means starting another pile in the spring.

There will be random tomato seedlings in the spring. Oh well. If you own
the right weeding tools, it won't matter.


This gardening thing is getting complicated. I didn't know one needed a
special weeding tool to remove tomato seedlings. I just pull them up with
my hands. Are these the wrong tools?
