Hi everyone, here's another potentially daft question :-[
The foliage on my first earlies are looking rather ill - not blighted, but just knackered (yellowing and dying back). Assuming there's no disease, are these okay to compost?
Cheers,
Rob ;)
:-\
Inherited a heap from previous plot owner, now I have some magnificent spud plants growing in the heap! Maybe from spuds they left in there last year, or maybe from plants chucked on. If it's a plant, and has no nasty diseases I compost it.

Yes Rob! :D
I always thought you had to get rid of them. A few people burn but I ususaly bag and bin.
I agree, compost it ...
They key is rob's vital 'assuming there's no disease ...' ;)
Cheers all,
So, majority opinion seems to be - if it's not diseased, it's okay to compost. S that's what I'll do! Thanks everyone.
Cheers,
Rob ;)

And this applies to vitually anythhing you put on the compost heap, not just potato haulms.
I have a lovely crop of spuds growing in my compost heap Katy and I think they have come from the peelings and old spuds from home that go into the compost bag and then up to the allotment.
I compost everything except mares tail and bind weed! ;D
