new beginner gardner needing help..

hi, just recently moved from a flat to a 3 bed house and have a lovely 70ft garden which is fully lawned albeit very weedily (I'm on the case)! ive dug out a vegetable patch of roughly 10ft by 10ft but my question is somewhat obscure really.ive got a compost bin and wanted to know basically if I'm ok to put the leftovers of my dying tomato plants in it?..p.s. I'm probably going to ask alot of basic stupid questions over the coming months but I guess the only way I can learn is to ask..please try and be patient with me lol..many thanks

No problem putting it in the compost.

Jellyfish, congratulations on your new home!! I agree with Ian, as long as the plants aren't diseased.

Btw, don't worry about 'stupid' questions. The only stupid questions are the ones that aren't asked.

some of the stalky tomato vines will decompose faster if chopped up.... a hefty meat cleaver is my tool of choice...
