Tomato Blight

Question

I planted my first tomato plants this year. At the end of the season, I blended all the green tomatoes infected with what I understand is tomato blight and dumped the liquid mess into my hot compost bin. Do I have to burn my compost heap now?

Answer 1

Diseased plants should be disposed of and not be placed in your compost.
