i have grown some potatoes in plastic bags (sent by supplier)can i re-use them next season for potatoes?

The bags, yes, the compost would need refreshing with a granular feed and have all the roots removed. However, with spuds you would risk building up diseases and the crop may not be as good next year. You should really replace the compost as a kind of 'crop rotation'.

As Volunteer says bags yes compost no, you can spread this around your flower bed though.

Don't throw the compost away, either spread around your flower beds or put in your compost bin.
