Growing Rhubarb

26 Apr 15 Paul Costin (Australia - temperate climate)
I have several plants in an strip area between the west side of the house and the fence. In summer the sun shines from 11am to 3 pm, in winter little sun. On a windy day it area is draughty and cold and hot in summer. My questioned is Production and growth is poor even tho. The plants are fertilised and mulched as required. Should the plants be lifted up in the same area, I feel they could be a little low. 2 plants I have replanted into pots In a north facing area and are going well another plant is not. If you have any advice it would be appreciated. Thanks Paul
