If your tomato plants have late blight--the leaves turn brown and the stems begin to wither and turn brown but not from lack of water--it may be a better idea to either throw them out or bury them in an area far away from where you want to grow tomatoes. The spores overwinter and are usually not killed in the compost which can cause next season's tomatoes to suffer an untimely demise.
