Anyone else really bad at thinning plants?

I have learned a lot about how it's needed, in particular for short growing seasons and to prevent some pests. Still, you would think I'm killing puppies or separating twins.

I struggle with that too. It makes me feel a little better that they're going straight into the compost pile to become nutrients though.

Using the compost does make it a little better. I also try to think of the clump as a single plant that I'm pruning, which to be fair I also do very hesitantly.

Never use diseased plants for compost. You only help propagate the disease.

isn't the compost pile supposed to be hot enough to kill any disease?
