I got taught to use well rotted chook manure. Not sure about others - as long as it's high in nitrogen, I reckon you'll be fine!

I use horse manure and its fine some people poo poo it but we have plenty so that's what we use, not fresh aged is best.

Used to grow around hen run in NZ but when in Victoria all Rhubarb got eaten by earwigs then in SW WA got eaten by slaters.
