compost, using the same plot over, etc.

Greetings:  Our compost had been collecting since last fall, so I wanted
to get the bottom part, which would be ready to use, out;

I used to spread it over a grating, to get out any lumps, twigs, etc.,
but it became dicey because there were a lot of earthworms in it that
got squished;

well yesterday's pile was just like a worm farm, thousands of them in
there;

I couldn't bear to kill them so I took the compost with them in it and
placed it on the tomato garden plot; so it wasn't really as completely
free of egg shells, rinds, etc., as in the past;

I think it'll do fine out there in the sun, which should get everything
breaking down even more, and now the worms will have burrowed into the
ground there, making it rich with their castings, and loamy from their
travelings.

This is my question:  does anyone know if it's okay to use the same plot
year after year, for tomatoes mostly, if the soil is replenished with
nutrients each year, from compost and aged manure?

TIA
