After you have harvested the rhubarb do you cut it to ground level and leave to regrow - and, if you fertilise, what do you use? many thanks.

NO, you pull the stalks away from the plant. New stalks will grow from between the existing stalks. I fertilise with compost and blood and bone and my plants do very well
