Used gro-bag compost - any way to recycle?

Last year we bought 3 of those extra-big gro-bags for tomatoes, then it was such a rubbish year that the tomatoes didn't do at all well.
I was wondering if I could re-use the gro-bag compost in some way. I have a wormery, and thought maybe I could mix the wormery compost with the gro-bag compost to re-use this year in pots for bedding plants?
Has anyone done this before, or have any other suggestions?

You're probably best off using it as a top dressing or mulch on a vegetable or flower bed, or digging it in. The reason for this is that the tomatoes may well have depleted the nutrients in the compost so your next lot of plants may not grow so well. If you do dig it in, make sure it's not somewhere where you will grow toms or potatoes due to the risk of disease.All I seem to hear is blah blah blah!0

Mulch it round your shrubs.
Good luck with the toms this year if you are going to grow anyBreast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100/100miles
