The plot I have taken over has rhubarb growing in two places!! I HATE THE STUFF. The roots are very deep and very woody and I believe its been on the plot for many years! I have tried to dig out the root but it goes on forever. ~~~~Any ideas ?

Dig, dig and dig again, if you really don't like it.
I shifted 10 plants off my daughters plot, took a couple of hours

Stewed rhubarb and custard- wonderful!! My MiL used to make wonderful pink forced rhubarb pies (she is too old now to bake) could have eaten a whole pie to myself :D

Dig it up, in case it comes back...

I don't like rhubarb,  but it's good for the compost and looks good too, I give the stalks to friends and family.
