Yes, add the compost that looks like dirt to the hole when you plant tomatoes. Side dress with the partly finished compost when you runn outta the finished product.

Finished compost aught to have numbers like 1-1-1 or 2-2-2 and should not be able to burn your plants.

Fresh manures from critters that don't make tidy little bullets like (rabbit, goat, camelids) I feel better composting first. This runs really true with chicken-pig manures. They are just too--phew and hot!

I would not add humanure dog or cat even to a compost, and never direct to feild.

There is probably better science on SCM site than my 'by guess or by gosh' rules o thumb. There are links to that site here on TV.
