Lime in the fail and in early March before rhubarb comes up. A high analysis
fertilizer (19-19-19) is good to put an application on top of the ground.
Rhubarb plants should be divided every 4 to 5 years otherwise the stalks
become very thin. Divide and fertilize heavily with horse and cow manure.
Catherine writes that she puts rabbit manure over the stalks in August or Sep
tember, and the rhubarb is beautiful and thick.
