Winter Fertilizing of Rhubarb

I LIKE TO USE THE BOTTOM OF A PLASTIC BARREL (APPROX. 12 INCHES), AND THIS IS MY WINTER COVER.

WHAT I DO IS ACCUMULATE MY KITCHEN SCRAPS (NOT MEAT) AND I THROW THIS UNDER THE CONTAINER.

IT IS THE GREATEST MULCH AND THE RHUBARB JUST LOVES THE FOOD IN THE WINTER.

WHEN SPRING ARRIVES, I HAVE THE SWEETEST RHUBARB IN THE WORLD.

GIVE IT A TRY AND YOU WILL AGREE.

HAPPY RHUBBY TO YOU.

FRED

I save the compost for the rhubarb as well too Fred. Interesting that it seems to add to the sweetness from the compost over the winter months.

Rhubarb Fertilizing Tip
by: kappy

Thanks for the good tip on fertilizing...I knew it needed it, but not having any cow manure or other "good stuff," I was not sure what to do --now I know!
