Last year my rhubard looked weak and neglected so I poured half a box of pellets over it and it shot up. If this was the right thing to do may be debatable but it worked for me :)

Yep will be fine I'd mix with a bit of decent compost and some blood fish and bone  roughly half a bucket of compost 3 handfulls of pellets and a handfull of BFB stir together and one mix per crown.

That is the type of advice I like (buckets and handfulls), not 3 ounces of this and two of that - my wife won't let me take her scales down to the allotment. :)
