Tomatoes don't need compost , they need muck .We always have a great tomato crop and are still eating them fresh now. I have never used " grow bags " too expensive!
Poor soil needs muck! Or soil improver + engrais. Plus a lot of hard work to incorporate them and fluff up the soil. Not everyone is fit enough to do that or handle a rotovator! Suppose that's why the no-dig business is so popular. Big drawback with that though is having an ongoing supply of organic material to keep piling on. We haven't all got a flock of sheep handy..... How on Earth do the Israeli squatters get on in the Negev?

Yes , it is really so , there was no collection when I moved here 32 years ago. Open fires are not allowed anywhere in France except for burning farming/forestry waste . "il est interdit brûler des déchets verts (végétaux secs ou humides) chez soi, que ce soit avec un incinérateur de jardin ou à l'air libre." quote from Service-Public.fr
Here in 87 everyone can take their garden waste to the dechetterie where it is made into compost , there is no limit in the amount . We are in 87 and are restricted on the number of visits per year we make with green waste. We have our card scanned at the dechetterie as we enter and are asked/car checked to see what we are taking in and dechets verts are noted.

87 is a big place, differing rules for each Commune probably , we never take green waste, we don't have any
