Rhubarb in pots?

Can I grow rhubarb in pots?

[tonybloke]

yes if they are about 3 foot across, and 3 to 4 feet deep! ;)

That's a no then!  ::)

In theory you could, but they have a massive root system, and like plenty of water, so in practice it wouldn't be a good idea!

Thank you Robert. I have just bought 3 small plants so take it that I need to give each one plenty of room for expansion?

Plant them three feet apart, and give them plenty of organic matter. It doesn't matter what it is. I just pile it on top in winter.

Thank you Robert.
