I only compost good plants and discard any affected ones.
I always cut them up into small pieces. I am a “lazy” composter and do not adopt a strict routine except that I add a good mix of materials but do not bother to keep turning the heap over in the bins.
I have never composted potato haums as my father before me used to burn them because of possible blight contamination ( which I know can also affect tomatoes and others ).

Tomato plant can be used as compost. But It need time to make a good compost. Any compost preparation it takes time.In the world we need to go for organic agriculture if we want to survive.
