Rhubarb under fruit trees
« on: March 23, 2021, 18:34 »
There are 2 apple trees on my allotment, bought from Tr**co last year.   I need to move some rhubarb,  would it be ok under/between the fruit trees?

Between them, I'd say - not too near as you don't want the roots competing too much for food & water

Best place for rhubarb in my experiance was always by the compost bin to benefit from run off nutrients.

We compromised, some is by the compost bin and some is between the fruit trees.  It all had a healthy dose of well rotted manure and a good dousing with the hose.
