Rhubarb Heartworm I’m harvesting my first rhubarb this year (planted two years ago) and am having a massive problem with rhubarb heartworm. Nearly all the stalks are unusable. Did I probably pick them up when I bought the plants? What do you recommend to make next season better? Or should I just throw everything away and start over with new plants in a different spot in the garden? I’ve read somewhere else about growing them on raised beds?

Ich lese mal mit… Wurde er ausreichend mit Kompost gestärkt nach der letzten Ernte und im Frühjahr? Steht er gut?

Noch nie in 20 Jahren gehabt 😃 Man soll das Rhabarberlaub im Herbst entsorgen. Das Problem ist aber noch nicht aus der Welt 😞 damit. Die Raupen überwintert im Boden.
