Maybe you should read my comment and the comment I was replying to more carefully. The comment I was replying to says in pretty clear terms that we shouldn't care about "disposal methods"

> Should the focus not be on disposal methods but on ensuring sustainable regeneration of farmland in this case?

Your suggestion of using rotten tomatoes as compost or whatever arguably falls under "disposal methods".

I was directly responding to the implicit question about 'sustainable regeneration of farmland', where you added '(whatever that means) '.

I explained one common sustainable regeneration method, and I touch why it meets the required elements of regeneration and sustainability.

You arbitrarily reclassify this as a "disposal method"; without including any counter-reasoning.

You berate me for not reading and not providing an alternative to mere disposal.
