Default Composting Rhubarb leaves.

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.


As an aside, one should NEVER eat the leaves.

During WW11 it was reported that some people had tried, as there was a
shortage of some food.
