    I haven't , but I noticed on the jobs for the week section that it is time to give a liquid feed to Rhubarb.  I was wondering if I could use Tomato food, if not, what is a good product to use?. 

    Thanks in advance.

    I have put chicken manure on mine and watered it in and it has really gone mad.

    Not tomato feed - that is to encourage flowering and fruiting - you want foliage not flowers.

    Chicken manure is fine, farmyard manure is fine, Fish Blood & Bone is fine. image

    Loads of home made compost including urine, and blood fish and bone early in the year. It is very happy. And so am I. image
