« Rhubarb roots Hi everyone, I'm dividing the clumps of my rhubarb but i think...
I suppose it would be fine to use it as plant food,but I think it would have been better to have made some drainage holes in your water butt,as your compost might tend to go slimy and smelly,if it's stood in water..you need some form of ventilation,and to turn your compost now and then..Sorry,I don't know the proportions for dilution,but I think I would draw it off,to let the compost dry out a bit..You probably won't need plant food in the coming months..
