Those plants got huge but were late in the year and froze before they were able to produce tomatoes. I use the compost to fill in any ruts made by gofers or the mower. I used some in the flower beds also. Not quite sure I'd use it in the garden but I've read where folks have.

My buddy had a large yard 50+ he dug a giant hole with his backhoe and piled it up with dog waste, sticks and his household paper trash and burned it. That is another good option but I never liked the smell of that smoke lol And I don't like to burn around the dogs very much if I can help it.

I will turn it and add lime, appreciate the advice, SB. From the research I have done I've figured that I'd use it for a flower bed or filling in holes and such but I won't use it in the vegetable garden. Like you said, some say they do but I don't want to do it. lol I thought about burning it also but I don't want to have that smell either. Appreciate you starting the thread in the first place and the friendly advice you've added along the way.
