| Post subject: | Vegetable Garden... End of the year |
I have a small veggie garden in my backyard that is simply choked with tomato plants that are probably 2m tall. They killed the green peppers, they killed the lettuce. The carrots survived... though their encounter with the clay soil left them a little dented. But that is not the point of this post. The question I have is, what am I suppose to do with those plants at the end of the season? A) Cut them off, throw them in the garbage B) Cut them off, leave the corpses in the soil C) Let them die a natural death I prefer new veggies next year, the tomatoes were too successful for their own good. |

I asked this this year too at a garden centre, since some people say to leave the dead plants in there for compost and I was told that I should take the dead plants out because leaving them in there can attract lots of bugs and pests that can plague your garden next year. I will be pulling my plants and putting them in yard waste bags. |

I clear off the veggie patch and put all the waste in with the yard waste. |

I will be pulling my plants and putting them in yard waste bags. Future tomato plants are especially suseptible to this. The brown bags is the best place for them. |
