Is it ok to compost rhubarb leaves, I have a little niggle in the back of my head that it isn't  :-\

Rhubarb leaves are brilliant for composting.  I have heard of people growing it for that very reason Petra, so get composting!  :D busy_lizzie

Thanks for that, Id just made a rhubarb crumble and had a pile of leaves staring at me so they are now going straight in the bin (compost one ) :)

You can put a few in a bucket and fill with water to make a solution for spraying broad beans to deter blackfly ...

Rhubarb leaves keep rats out of your bins as well.
