Thank you for posting this information about Laurel.
A friend of mine recently told me it wasn't good to burn or compost Laurel. So yesterday, when we had to brutallly cut back a huge laurel bush in our garden, I decided to Google it to check on the reasons why not to compost.
So glad I did!
And just to say, it also explains the small red itchy blisters that have appreared on my finger. I did use gardening gloves for collecting up the leaves & branches, however there was a small hole in one of the glove fingers and now I have a nasty red blistered patch as a result!
Be warned!
