Re: Compost treats

After several attempts at growing rhubarb, I had given up on any of my seedlings surviving the autumn/winter. I threw their dead stalks in my compost early in the winter and used it the following spring. In the summer, I was amazed to find a healthy little rhubarb plant, larger and more robust than before, growing where I had put some of the compost. I planted it and it still survives today, several years later.

Talk about coming back from the dead!
