Terracotta Rhubarb Forcers/Pots are perfect for helping your veggies grow quickly and tastily. Made from timeless terracotta, make a feature in your garden, vegetable patch or allotment with this traditional, classic style.
These large terracotta pots are frost resistant and can be used to force a number of vegetables or simply as a garden decoration. They look fantastic placed amongst the garden and come with removable lids for letting in light or checking on your vegetable’s progress.
Rhubarb is much more palatable when it is forced. This is a simple process which will bring the plant on quickly whilst depriving it of light. To use, simply place the Rhubarb Forcers over the crown of your rhubarb plants and make sure the lid is firmly in place.
As a general rule of thumb, you’ll be able to look forward to edible rhubarb after approximately eight weeks. The trapped heat will accelerate growth and the lack of light will create slender, tasty stems. If you live in a colder part of the country, this is also a good way to ensure a crop up to a month earlier than usual.
These terracotta forcers are available with either a 30cm or 38cm diameter.
