Hi Paul and welcome!

 

NO!! otherwise they will continue to grow and put out shoots etc, and your heap will be full of spuds!!!

 

hope that helps

I don't put potato peelings on my heap either-they sprout too. So do tomatoes, but they are easy to spot and you can move them and use as a crop too.

If your compost heap get's hot enough, you can put anything in it including weeds but I wouldn't advise putting weeds in unless it is a large compost heap which gets extremely hot

The heat, should kill most things
