Moving Rhubarb
« on: December 28, 2007, 15:20 »
Hi chaps,

I've fond two heads of Rhubarb amongst some nettles. I would like to move them but wondered if this is a good idea? Are the roots systems delicate and deep or shallow?

They have many 'buds' showing so I assume they are an early variety?

Thanks

Now is the time to move them. They are deep rooted & tough as old boots, so you shouldn't have a problem.

My rhubard is sprouting well and ahead of all others, so I guess we must have an early variety.
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

it always sprouts well if you RHUB ARD
If it wasn't for chemicals we'd be organic.
