I'm moving onto an
acre of
land in Surrey where I'll be able to put about an 1/8th of it into garden and food production. Last year we had a small garden (16 sq. Ft.) at the townhouse we were renting. I read about sunchokes here on permies in late 2012 and found some at a
local market. We liked them and had the presence of mind to plant a large tuber in the small garden patch. At the end of the growing season I must have dug up 10 lbs in total. I was amazed at the production!
I have maybe 7-10 tubers left in the soil that I can take with me, but I am looking for much more as we plan to eat a lot more of them this year, as well as provide
feed for the
chickens we will be raising there. Are any of you Vancouver area permies willing to
sell us some tubers to help
seed our system?
