    I have a plastic tub, about 2' diameter and 1' deep.
    Can I grow rhubarb in it?

    Also, I have several 'Belfast' sinks which I use for growing some things - beetroot, spinach, courgettes - would rhubarb grow in those?

    Thanks in advance,

    Mary

    Hi Mary,

    Rhubarb Roots get very large, but you should do ok with both. I'd give them a regular feeding though.

    Are they new plants, or have you not got them yet ?:)
