Dan BurzoHaven’t decided if my first attempt at composting was successful.
On the one hand, these beautiful tomato plants are absolutely thriving in it!
On the other hand, nobody planted them there...
Walrus 🏴Our compost also produces lovely tomato plants. I assume it needs to be a lot hotter in the composter to kill tomato seeds.
Kate Hildenbrand@db There are worse ways to fail at composting :)
Solar🌄Garden@db the I carefully transplanted the "compost tomatoes" when digging-out the transparent polythene covered heap to go on the beds in late winter (usda zone 10a). Gift horse and all that.
They are producing ripe fruit right now, about 2 weeks ahead of the carefully nurtured intended varieties. There was always the option of culling them if they turned out to be rubbish.
@wavesculptor We’ve been gifting these here and there, fingers crossed that they’re not the underwhelming San Marzanos we grew last year...
