Beginner Gardening: Pokeweed as mulch, 1 by dave

There are two things I have an abundance of here: Weeds and pokeweed (some would argue that those are the same thing).

My thought is to go around and gather up pokeweed from the fence lines and such, and then place them in my veggie garden to smother out the weeds and keep the soil moist. Basically I'm wondering if I can use pokeweek leaves and stalks as a mulch product.

Pokeweed, as you know, is poisonous. Will I transfer this poison to my other plants by using them as a mulch?

Thanks,
Dave
