RE: Edible Perennial Ground Nut
Ok, thank you for the info. I need to try to get some started, but I need to find the right place to do it where I can easily put a trellis in for them. That stops them from taking over.
Ooo, it did not stop ours... I hate to be one of those people, LOL. But seriously, it disregarded it and has totally taken over a whole area. BUT i think if you keep the tubers harvested very regularly it might not spread quite so much! I will try to find a picture to show you our patch... Hey, edible and delicious so not so bad as a vigorous vine, right!?
You may be in one of those special places where all the conditions are perfect for it, so it rewarded you with abundance, lol. Down here, we have what is lovingly known as Georgia Red Clay. It can take years to get the soil amended properly, and even then, if you don't work on it regularly, missing just a couple of years can turn it right back to GRC, lol.
