Probably but you will need to feed it well.Gardening requires a lot of water - most of it in the form of perspiration. Lou Erickson, critic and poet -
Yups I agree with that. As long as there is adequate drainage it should be ok. My only reservation is the possibility of root damage if there is a severe frost but having said that they say we should leave rhubarb roots exposed to frost before planting.Originally posted by roitelet View PostComment

After reading many gardening books, seeking advice on many things - they all seem to agree that there is a possibility of actually killing rhubarb.
In my experience, having 'used and abused' the plant(s) over the years - I'm quite sure they'd outlive cockroaches after a nuclear oblivion........because you're thinking of putting the kettle on and making a pot of tea perhaps, you old weirdo. (Veggie Chicken - 25/01/18)

It has a load of manure in the tub and as the tub is made of fiberglass I am hopping that this will give it some insulation against the frostit may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

It was the title " Will rhubarb group in a tub".
Thought I'd better change as you wouldn't want to look stupid, would you?

What? Rary's marbles?? They'd rattle and clink a bit but I don't think they'd group.

And yes Kelvin the way it spreads it does look as if it's in a group

Sorry rary, I should really read better.
Anyway, without being too personal about your medical condition - has your 'worms condition' improved over the last few months ??.......because you're thinking of putting the kettle on and making a pot of tea perhaps, you old weirdo. (Veggie Chicken - 25/01/18)

Yes absolutely will �� Heck, I grew mine from seed in large conical hanging baskets for a couple years before transplanting to tubs They're in medium/large bell pots ATM and packing on growth. Just give them lots of chicken manure at the start of each season and ample water and make sure you have room for the long taproot.
Happy growing
There are no gardening mistakes, only learning curves
No matter how big the job or overwhelming the task, a good dose of sheer obstinacy and bloody-mindedness should see you through
