Question
I've been told the soil my rhubarb has too much nitrogen and that's why my plants won't turn red.  If this is true, what can I do to even out the nitrogen content.  Green rhubarb tastes the same, but looks kinda' bad in pies and cakes.  Thanks for your help

Answer
Hi Sandra, Fertilize with a zero nitrogen fertilizer, if you need to fertilize at all.  Use commercial fertilizers like 0-20-20, or organic products like bone meal and greensand.  When planting, make sure any amendments you use are fertilizer free, no starter fertilizer.  If you make your own compost, make sure it has aged at least 6 months and use it sparingly.
In the meantime, consider red food coloring.  Jim
