Hi All - just a quick question... Can one compost courgette / marrow family leaves with powdery mildew.. seems such a waste not to use them..

I would. With mildew being a mould, it could help with the breaking down process.

I hope it's ok cos I've stuffed a load in the compost bin over the last few weeks. They seem to be rotting down ok but I hadn't thought of the powdery mildew TBH.

Been doing it for years with no ill effects that I can see.
