I've just read that rhubarb leaves (whole, I'm assuming) make good collars and mulch for tomatoes and cabbage. I like that very much as I have lots of rhubarb. What I'd like to know is if I can use rhubarb leaves for any and all plants, or am I limited to certain plants. If I am limited, which plants can I use rhubarb leaves with and which must I not use rhubarb leaves with?

I have just joined Dave's Garden forum and am enjoying it very much. You all are very knowledgeable--just what I need!

I don't see any reason why you can't use them for any plant.
