Compost? In a pot? You can't grow rhubarb in a pot - the roots are
very strong and need lots of depth. Compost alone will not feed your
plant enough. It will not survive. These plants can produce for 10 to
15 years even longer. Once established you can leave them alone to do
their stuff. Very easy indeed. But first what they need is a good bed,
you need to prepare the ground for it. After all they'll stay in there
for 15 years!
