Turning green rhubarb red

Reading the different complaints about green rhubarb and noticing that most of the "experts" didn't have an answer, I would like to share a sure thing to correct this common problem.

Take wood ashes and put them around the rhubarb plants. The large leaves tend to fall and make the soil too acid and putting wood ashes corrects this. The stalks will turn a beautiful crimson the next spring.
