* How to care for rhubarb?
In spring, rhubarb begins to grow even before the soil warms up. If you cover the bush when all the snow has not melted, you can get high-vitamin products very early.
Old leaves are put into compost. In dry weather, rhubarb is occasionally watered, fed only with organic matter (5-10 kg per 1 bush in the fall).
In the fall, be sure to remove all the above-ground parts of the rhubarb to avoid diseases.
Rhubarb is a frost-resistant plant, it does not freeze, but it can rot from over-watering or suffer from long winter thaws.
