Growing Rhubarb - Dividing and Care

Rhubarb is a hardy plant and once established will produce crops for many years.

A humus rich well drained soil in a sunny position is best. Established clumps of rhubarb will benefit from being divided every 3-4 years. Fertilize with a seaweed fertilizer or dynamic lifter.

Divide Rhubarb and transplant in late winter to spring. Select the healthiest looking crowns from the clump, gently tease and pull apart retaining as much of the root system as possible and replant in a new position with some well rotted cow manure an compost dug into the soil. Water in well with a seaweed fertilizer and keep the area weed free.

Rhubarb varieties for the vegetable garden include: the popular 'Wandin Red', 'Silvan Giant', 'Ever' and the green stemmed 'Queen Victoria.

Remember that Rhubarb leaves and roots are poisonous, only the stem are edible.
