Growing Rhubarb

View the Rhubarb page

31 Dec 14 Peggy (Australia - temperate climate)
Last year I bought a nasty looking plant, $2.00 what the heck. Planted it in a sunny spot mostly out of the wind, The soil is top soil scrapped off a building site in the back yard. 3/4 bag of 'Wooley Beasts sheep poo' from shearing sheds dug through and rain water. It got 2 metres across and 60 cm high. Mad thing - I had to shift the lettuce and the spring onions. I just let it have its way. This year - yum!. Nanna always said cow manure was the feed for rhubarb. Sheep poo yeeehaaa.
