I have an overabundance of Jerusalem artichokes and live in the central part of the lower penninsula of Michigan and will give away to as many as I can that want to come and help dig up the Jerusalem Artichokes with me. Should be able to begin digging them in March or April and will be digging them thru July when Ihope to dig up most of the ones in my one garden area and move them out..they will be free if you come help dig, send me a PM and I'll give you my address and email info.

I have mailed them out before but that is not my first choice..and then they wouldn't be free either..I'd have to charge.

probably, but this was just basically an offer, I love the JA's as they don't really have to all be dug up and harvested and they'll do just fine where they are..they make a really lovely privacy screen.

I do plan on moving a lot of them this year ..and will replant them as a privacy screen around a couple of gardens that I have..so I'll use them up if they don't get given away, but I wanted to offer so if anyone needed a start I'd give them to them if they were willing to come help dig (pinched nerve in my back)..otherwise I'll work on them bit by bit myself until they are moved where I want them to be.

Hi, Is your offer still available? I would happily help dig for some. Could not figure out how to PM you as I am a newbie on this site. Please PM me, if possible. I commute between Ann Arbor and Lewiston. thanks, Steve
