For juices, compotes, lemonades, cakes and baked goods. Rhubarb is one of the most frequently used vegetables in the kitchen in spring and early summer.

What doesn’t rhubarb like? A good place in the garden is essential
If you want to enjoy large and numerous harvests, remember that rhubarb does not like shady places. It grows best in a sunny or semi-shaded position. The second important issue is the soil. The worst choice is sandy and wet soil. We should take care of fertile, moist and calcareous soil. Importantly, it must be watered constantly, especially during the flowering period. Rhubarb is very sensitive to water deficiency. You cannot forget about regular weeding. This will help us avoid fungal diseases and allow new leaves to grow.

What does rhubarb need to grow? Horsetail manure will come in handy. The recipe is very simple
Another issue is regular . They should be started in early spring and then repeated in June and August. A fertilizer rich in nitrogen will work best, so we recommend horsetail slurry. Its preparation is quick and very simple. Just throw 0.5 kg of horsetail into a large bucket or container and pour 5 liters of water. Then we put the whole thing in a dark place for 24 hours.
If we want to get even better results, it is worth refraining from using slurry and letting it rest for up to about 3 weeks.. Then it should start fermenting. Such a “cocktail” will ensure better growth and protect against diseases and pests. However, slurry should not be used more often than once every two weeks.
