Ferterlizer for rhubarb?
+4
I finally got rhubarb to grow here. I have two areas that I planted, one is doing great and one not so much. The one that is not doing as well is healthy looking but half the size of the other one. Could you recommend a good ferterlizer for both of them?
Thank you, Phyllis.

it could be location or just a plant that isn’t growing as fast. an old friend of mine said horse manure added in fall is great. I have used miracle grow and it worked well for me. Make sure when u pull that you don’t pull the root out
Make sure the manure is well-composted, If it still smells like manure, it will burn the plants.
This is not the right time to eat rhubarb ?you should cover it with horse manùer.and leave to root .next year .best rhubarb ever .

Thank you. We do have some nice old horse manure so will try this for the winter.
Our manure is about 4 yrs old so should be well composted. Thanks!
I know you should wait a year before pulling rhubarb, but it sure was tempting this summer. We are in Oklahoma so things are still growing great. But will get the manure up in the wheel barrow and have it ready for winter. Thanks!
