Our city gathers all the yard waste and makes compost and they sell it. If you garden and your city does this, go buy their compost. We do this and usually put it down in the Fall. Whatever we plant does amazing. We've done sweet corn and got quite a bit. Cucumbers got so insane we stopped planting them. We have tomato plants that get enormous. We will get over 100 tomatos off of one plant, easy. We got the biggest tomato cage we could find it was way too small, going to have to improvise something bigger next year.

All that fertalizer everyone puts on their lawn comes out good in the compost. We used quite a bit of complete manure this year. We ran out about 3/4 across the second garden area, you can spot the difference real easily. What kind of tomato plant are you growing? 30 lbs out of a plant in a year is considered good. One hundred cherry tomatoes isn't really a big deal. One hundred beef steak tomatoes, well I'm not sure I'd believe that.
