I've been enjoying watching tomatoes (and this year even a potato) grow out directly from my big worm bin as well! Hi Cannedam,

My regular compost bins offered me up numerous volunteer tomatoes throughout my gardens from tomato seeds that apparently survived the process. If not, how long does the compost cook before you use it? (Mine was cooking from spring of last year til spring of this year, however the tomatoes were added in fall. Probably not enough heat, eh?)

There are some small photos on my blog. But, anyway, it didn't cause any alarm.
