A few growing tips and suggestions for Rhubarb.
Fertilising rhubarb. I like to fertilise rhubarb every 6 to 8 weeks.
They are all leaf, big leaves at that, and will need a constant supply
of nutrients.
You do know you shouldn't eat the leaves. Rhubarb leaves contain
dangerously high levels of oxalic acid which can cause serious kidney
damage potentially leading to death. Even though a 64 kg person would
need to eat about 10 pounds of rhubarb leaves to die, a small amount
still has the ability to make a person sick.
Adding compost to rhubarb.
Applying mulch to rhubarb.
I used Sugar Cane mulch but Lucerne, Wheat or
Barley straw or any material that will break down over time will do.
