Re: Rhubarb?
I tried growing Rhubarb once and failed so im no expert , if the leaves have gone over i would think take them off and dispose of them to the tip , cause if left they will just form a breeding ground for slugs snails and other pest .Re: Rhubarb?
Hello Kev I would leave the leaves alone, the frost will kill them off but move them when it does to expose the crown to frost.Re: Rhubarb?
That sounds like good advice Meg. Thankyou.Re: Rhubarb?
Let them die off naturally Kev, the leaves feed the plant and will replenish some of the root's vigour. I usually fork in some rotted manure around the plants after the leaves have died off and I sprinkle a little blood fish and bone around the crowns in late winter too, which all helps to feed the plants over the next growing season.Re: Rhubarb?
