There's a large and worthwhile difference between just bunging rhubarb
in soil, and planting it on top of a deep hole filled with old leather
shoes, wooly jumpers, weeds and manure. The stalks on deep-fed plants
are longer, more prolific, tender and pink, and taste better.

True, true, but when someone asks the question "how to plant rhubarb", it
seems reasonable to assume they're not all that experienced, so I was
keeping it to basics, and rhubarb is the most basic IMHO.
Then he can dump a bucket of manure on it when it goes dormant. It'll be
fine.
