I would add this to my compost heap as it's 'spent', ie most of the goodness has gone. It would be a shame to waste it though. It'll be full of useful microrganisms that'll do wonders for your home made compost.

I often use the stuff my toms have been in (in the polytunnel) to top up my raised beds. If you do similar, just remember toms & spuds are in the same plant family and both therefore suffer the same diseases, so don't put it on land where you are going to grow spuds next season.
