Hi all.
This may be a dumb question but I don't know where to post this. I am starting a compost bin and would like to know if it is ok to use tomato leaf's, tomatoes and other vegetable leafs in the bin. Mostly though the tomato leaf's. We have a small green house and we been growing Broccoli. Cauliflower, Tomato's and Lettuce so I have a good amount of leaf's.

Yes, as long as those plants had no diseases or pests, they are good to go into a compost pile.

Thank you Tina, so I am good to go. Having a huge storm, will get about 3-5" of rain which is about half of our yearly rainfall.
