Question details
I had tomatoes that had blight and cutworms this year. Can I compost them in a cold pile?
Do not compost blighted plants. Burn the blighted plants if legal snd safe in your area, or dispose of them in the trash. Cutworms will not be a problem in the compost. See Groups for more information about composting and plant diseases. Stay natural, David
Sound like grubworms, which are usually white with a brown head and a clear segment at the tail where you can often see the digested matter. They are not a problem in a compost pile, but I would not knowingly put them in my garden or containers. Go to Group Garden Pests and see the post on Grubworms. Stay natural, David
