Hey gardeners - is tobacco good for tress and plants?

[GWBowman]

In these parts, tobacco is primed and the stalks left in the field. Tobacco farming has really fell off over the years. People used to get the stalks ground up and spread on their yard. My father-in-law did one year and said the results were amazing. Don't quote me on why, but I believe it's nitrogen content.

I've read handling tomato plants after handling tobacco can cause problems for the tomato plant.

Unrelated note:My uncle James would sit on the porch chewing tobacco and throw it in the front yard when he was done. Can't count the times I thought I had stepped on a dog turd, but luckily it was just old chew.
