after a harvest what do you do with all the big stems and leaves to throw them away?

i tend to just throw it in the back yard at lawn mowing time and i have never had a problem.mulches it up with the grass and no way could thay find it..and the smell is so sweet when you mow over it.and the smell is gone as quick as it comes

[Twentyinches]

what about just cutting it up and flushing it?

bubble-bags..........

the remnanats of that process, plus the stems and unusable leaf as well as the roots all go to the composta pile afterthat.....

maximize productivity. thats key for such a huge risk.

No one seems to have mentioned the use of an in-sink garbage disposal. If you have one, use it. That's what i do, though I just pitch out the root ball/rock wool with the trash because they don't smell and could as easily be fore a tomato plant. They are in the Nightshade family, after all.
