Tusky (ˈtʌski) in Yorkshire dialect means rhubarb, and the name is synonymous with the area of Yorkshire which has for centuries been growing the finest rhubarb that is exported al l over the world. Rhubarb is thought to have originated in Russia, but in Yorkshire it has the three things that it needs to grow — cold, water, and nitrogen. The Yorkshire Rhubarb Triangle is situated in a frost pocket, ideal for rhubarb cultivation, and of course we have no shortage of rain. And back in the day the woollen mills provided nitrogen in the form of “shoddy”, a mulch of waste woollen cloth or clippings, readily available and packed with nitrogen. Show more
