Compost Corner: What not to compost...

Its hard for the average gardener to maintain a "hot" compost pile. I know that mine may get hot but for the most part I am cold composting. Which is completely fine with me.  So because of this I have learned (the hard way)...

Do not compost tomatoes (or tomato plants with tomatoes on them)....

And do not compost pumpkins with seeds in them....

Next year they are getting thrown in the forest... that way maybe they can feed the deer and rabbits.
