Can you add used soil to your compost bin? I've grown some Tomatoes in tubs and wondered if I can just tip the spent soil into my compost bin rather than throwing it away. Will it get re-juvinated?
TIA

Careful there aren't any weed seeds in it though. I don't know whether being in a compost bin would kill them or not.

It will all mix in nicely with your compost, as long as the other 'ingredients' are full of nutrients....it'll add 'body'. We get horse manure and put a layer in occasionally... that's a great help!
The other thing you could do with it if there's a lot is to spread it round your garden on top of the soil.
