I tried posting this question once but it doesn't seem to have made
it to the group. Apologies if anyone's news server has it twice-

I've been given a rhubarb plant which is quite well grown- it's
already produced some rhubarb that is. I just wonder if there are any
tips on planting for rhubarb before I stick it in the ground.

Any advice, anyone?

Good soil and good light, seems to like us, we are still pulling the
wretched stuff have started back in February in all that cold, it is I
will admit nice with a bit of stem ginger!

Agreed.
How does it work though with forced rhubarb which has no light?
Always wondered that.

PS
Rhubarb makes a wonderful dry white wine.(be sure to add lots or
precipitated chalk to lower the acidity)
