Our county landfill is now making compost from grass clippings, leaves and finely ground wood/limbs. Prior to this year, I have used a mix of black cow with some pulverized lime and penningtons tomato fertilizer in my 30 gallon smart pots, with good results.
Would the compost from the landfill be too rich or hot for the tomato plants or could I mix this in some fashion with black cow? Thanks |

It won't be hot at all if it's finished compost

It would also depend on your confidence in the level of herbicides and insecticides in the grass clippings collected by the county.
