Well, now that, thanks to the good advice of URG denizens, I have
started to harvest my rhubarb (6 pots of jam made this w/e), what can I
do with the leaves?
I gather they are toxic (oxalic acid, if memory serves) and therefore I
wonder should I keep them out of the compost heap?
Oxalic acid is bio-degradable. Put the leaves on your compost heap.
If so, what can I do with them? They are currently wilting away near
the plants themselves.
