Ohio State University extension horticulturist E C Wittmeyer says rhubarb needs well drained soil with organic matter. Apply manure or organic matter a year before planting and three to four pounds of fertilizer before planting. After growth begins a nitrogen rich side dress may be advised, placed one foot from the plant at one pound per 100 feet of row. Rhubarb is grown from divisions of old crowns with one strong bud per division. Break damaged roots and shorten long roots before spring planting.
