    TIPS FOR GROWING RHUBARB IN POTS
    Rhubarb will grow in a position with plenty of sun.
    Give the plants plenty of water and fertiliser during the warmer months.
    Use dynamic Lifter or rapid raiser and occasionally add some Blood & Bone.
    In late winter divide clumps about every three years.
    Potted Rhubarb needs more care than Rhubarb in the ground.
    I have been sucessfully growing Rhubarb in a pot for a number of years.
    These pots can be connected to an automatic or manual drip watering system.
