Can you compost Pokeberry leaves?

Question

I have a large pokeberry plant and I want to compost the leaves before they flower… I know they are poison but I don’t want to eat them… just compost them… any issues?

Answer 1

Yes, composting with them is completely safe. They are self composted elsewhere in their natural habitat. If you want to be sure, make sure your compost pile reaches optimum composting temperatures.
