Rhubarb Forcer
« on: March 17, 2007, 23:11 »
Wanted a proper rhubarb forcer but don't want to fork out the money most vendors want for them!

Has anyone got any alternatives that are as attractive? I thought of using upturned terracotta pots but have struggled to find ones the right shape . ie wide and tall

Any suggestions would be appreciated

Do you mean attractive aesthetically or fiscally?   A dustbin, oil drum, eurobox, even a cardboard box painted to run water should last a season.
