fixing fertiliser failure

Groan....

 

Thanks again everyone for all the advice. I hear people saying it's not an ideal location, dig it up and move it, and that the over-fertilising is unlikely to cause too much damage.

As per my first post, I've not got the inclination to dig it up. It was free, unexpected, and I've already got plans for my own rhubarb seedlings in more suitable locations. I'm glad that people think the overfertilising is not disastrous. I appreciate all your input!

 

When choosing a permanent location for it, bear in mind that once established, it has a tendency to spread. If you plant it right on a boundary for example, it is likely to turn up next door. Your neighbours might get some free rhubarb, but equally they might not appreciate it.

If you plant it too close to a flower bed for example, it will take over, it's broad leaves blocking light from anything underneath it.

My dad used to build purpose built rhubarb beds with physical barriers to constrain the roots so it didn't spread where it wasn't wanted.
