Default Berries in a shady spot?

The message . 24
from Victoria Clare contains these words:

Alternatively, rhubarb isn't a berry, but you can make wine and pies from
it, and it is very tolerant of almost any position as long as you feed it
well and don't let it completely dry out.


My advice would be not to make wine out of it. It attacks the joints of
anyone with arthritis, rheumatism, etc.

If you do make wine with rhubarb, it is best to remove the acid with
powdered chalk and when clear, decant the juice, then replace the acid
with citric acid or some other fruit acid.
