How deep should I plant my rhubarb. I was given roots that are about 6-8 inches long and about 10 -12 inches around. One person says don\'t plant them too deep or I will kill them someone else says I should plant them about a foot deep. I need some expert advice as I love my strawberry and rhubarb pie.
Also, is it possible to grow rhubarb in bales???
I would so appreciate any advice on this. Thanks gang
