The potato and the tomato, as roots/fruits, will not do any harm, it's the plants they grow on that should be avoided. You may eat and enjoy a potato or a tomato and come to no harm. Eat a potato or tomato plant and, if you don't snuff it, you won't be very well. The toxicity is in the plant, not the fruit.

Retlaw.

Common garden worms are not really suited to compost, its tiger worms you need, you can buy them online or in fishing shops.
