    Yes. It is ok to compost them.

    I've recently taken to throwing them on the ground near the rhubarb though.

        Mine all go on the compost- but I'm thinking I'll leave a few on the ground and check them daily for slugs/snails sheltering underneath!
        My chooks will be more than pleased! ...as will my plants!

            Why wouldn't you?

            "because they're poisonous"

            Yes, if you eat them, but you don't eat compost ..."


            Ditto for foxgloves, delphiniums, datura ... you wouldn't eat any of them, but they're fine on the compost heap.

              even if you ate them ,you would have to virtually gorge on them to kill yourself,eating a leaf would give you a bad stomach ache,still,not recommended...

                Rhubarb crumble with custard tonight
                Not a leaf in sight
                In the oven it will bake
                And my stomach it will ache.

                  I had some rhubarb crumble
                  It wasn't very big
                  It made my tummy rumble
                  So I scoffed it like a pig
