Default Compost from cabbage, brocchili etc.

Hi: I grew a bunch (40) cabbage, brocchili caukiflowers and
Brussels. I do not plan to grow them in the same area next year.
Should I Mulch that stuff up...its in my compost heap... and till it
under in my whole garden or the part where these were grown? Or
should I just toss it? Educate me. I had a great rookie harvest on
almost every crop ..I grew cux, squash and toms etc. I don't want
to get the soil too hot.. Thanks Farmer Joe

If you already have it in your compost pile, let it compost and then
use as any other compost. I plow down brassica residue myself. They are
relatively heavy feeders which is the major reason for rotation. The
other being disease build up. Composting would destroy the disease
organisms. If you had a good crop, you probably do not soil borne
diseases like yellows.
