marrows

[sandra wilms]

Can anyone advise about composting marrow plants. I've nearly finished harvesting and would like to put the huge plants on our compost heap. My Dad has heard that rhubarb leaves shouldn't be put on the compost, so we wanted to check about marrow plants too. Many thanks

Rhubarb leaves are poisonous, however, unless you plan to eat your compost heap, they should be composted, they won't cause any problems.
Marrow plants can be composted too.

You can compost both rhubarb and marrow leaves.

Hi Sandra- and welcome to the Vine!

Yup- bung them both on!!

A lot of my neighbours on my last lottie were in ther 80's and most of their rhubarb was meant for the compost!!!
