Anyone know anything about this?

Any cuttings off your plants (not diseased) can be recylcled into compost.
I know of no reason why tomatoes or a special kind of tomato would be any
better than anything else. Typically fleshy shoots from annuals would not
contain great concentrations of nutrients, they are mainly cellulose and
water.
