I was watching the TV earlier tonight and an 'allotmenteer' said she doesn't
compost rhubarb leaves because they are too acid.

I have always composted ours.

Any comments please?


If you have a huge pile of them and nothing else, they would produce
compost too acid to apply to acid-hating plants. But mixed with other
ingredients there will not be a problem. The key to good compost is
always to use a variety of different ingredients.
