I agree with Can, I wouldn't put diseased material on the compost heap

I do add them but cut them in half to make sure they rot down quickly. But as they are mainly water, they can make the compost quite wet. Also, I tend to leave compost bins a couple of years before using.

To play safe I put both fruit and haulms in the green bin. The pundits sy there's two types of blight, early and late, one overwinters the other doesn't. I have no idea which I've got so I'm not taking any chances.

Same here - I won't plant outside anymore but I've a few volunteers that seem ok at the moment 

I always put in my green bin - I don't want to add it to my compost bin - just in case!
