@epicgardening: Burying food scraps doesn’t feed plants overnight. Soil microbes and fungi must break down organic matter before roots can absorb its nutrients. In fact, fresh scraps can temporarily tie up nitrogen as microbes decompose them, delaying nutrient availability. Finished compost is more predictable because much of that process is already complete.
What?! I thought composting was vital to garden yield?!

you could send a bit of each to a lab for nutrient resting to really get data, but im not sure how much that costs

the nutrients were already available in the soil for the nothing. the other ones had to be in scraps that weren't compost.

I did the egg tomato once and it had so many beautiful tomatoes I planted it but completely forgot about it, never watered it. It was a very giving plant.

Fresh material vs compost that is already breaking down. Not surprised at the results.
