Rots, you say? 2” seedlings rot or seeds you plant after emerging? Rhubarb is essentially red Celery for care and planting purposes. I was in Fredericksburg last week and saw an amazing swiss chard (needs same care as rhubarb) in large urn planters with viola, alyssum and jumbo snapdragons lookin lively and mature. Grow rhubarb in an experimental pot using Mel’s Mix - look it up - which is disease free. It sounds like you have some sort of damping-off disease in your soil, or fungus. Can you grow anything else in it?
