Grow your own rhubarb the Victorian way using this traditional style plastic terracotta replica Gutter Mate Rhubarb Forcer.

This beautiful Rhubarb Forcer in Washed Antique Terracotta effect has a practical purpose, but its classic tea stained good looks mean it will also make a beautiful garden ornament when placed out in your vegetable garden or herbaceous borders. This practical technique is used to encourage early growth, so it's perfect if you want a quicker yield.

A Rhubarb Forcer is designed to grow rhubarb and other vegetables such as leeks in darkness. Once the shoots have appeared you are able to remove the lid, so they grow towards to the light. Not only will the rhubarb crop be brought on earlier, it will be pink, tender, juicier and sweeter. 

The Rhubarb Forcer is the perfect plastic replica of a grand old design, but a fraction of the weight and it won’t break. It comes with a lid and handle. It is light weight and is made from high quality UV stabilised plastic, therefore making it difficult to chip or crack.

Features

  • Made in the UK
  • UV stabilised plastic to protect from colour fading, perfect for outdoor use.
  • Includes 4 galvanised steel pegs, for keeping the rhubarb forcer secure to the ground.
  • Designed perfectly, for the best possible outcome for your rubarb, chicory and asparagus.
  • These are designed so your crops are limited to photosynthesis.
  • They encourage the plant to grow early in the season and also to produce blanched stems.
  • Once shoots appear, the lid should be taken off, causing them to grow towards the light.
  • This product is used all over the world and is very popular for people with allotments.

    Rhubarb forcer

    Posted by Pauline on 16th Jun 2020

    Most other websites did not have this item in stock so I was very pleased to receive this order. They are a bit bigger than I imagined but I'm looking forward to using them on my new rhubarb patch next year. The delivery driver did say that the packaging was the worst he had seen for a while. The items were both undamaged.
