Topic: Leaves of forced rhubarb

[caroline7758]

Does anyone know whether the yellow leaves of forced rhubarb are as effective as the later green ones for making "stinky soup"?

[Old bird]

I thought that the leaves were poisonous - or are you talking feeding plants?

I give the green leaves to my chickens as it is meant to be a good wormer - whatever truth in that I don't know but they are all still alive!

Oops,yes, hope nobody's gone off to make rhubarb soup! :o Just couldn't think of the word to use!

I've no idea whether they've got as much oxalic acid or not, but I bet they'll have enough to work!
