PREVENTING THE SUNCHOKES FROM GOING TO SEED

in #homesteading6 years ago

Sunchokes AKA Jerusalem Artichokes primarily spread by the tubers.


However, there is a chance that they can reproduce by seed as well. usually, you'll need multiple cultivars to get viable seed, and since some of my neighbors are also growing these from another source, I didn't want to risk it. They spread so incredibly well underground anyway that I'll have enough to deal with.

Thankfully, many animals will enjoy the stems, leaves, and flowers, and our Jacob's sheep are eager to help out. Basically, this is a video of me feeding flowers to my sheep... enjoy!

This is really nice! Those animals are really enjoying indeed...the joy you have for agriculture can never be overemphasized, ride on brother.

That's one way to keep a crop from spreading. And the animals get a lot of good nutrition. Sheep will take care of eating basically any issue there. Do they really eat tin cans?

That well at least you already gave a good use to those plants, will serve you to feed the animals and pets. Greeting friend from Venezuela

This looks a good way.
But why do you have to give your flowers, should they not be planted again.

So beautiful flowers,

your cultivation is very interesting,
Enjoy nature to the fullest,
well done @papa-pepper

you'll never need to buy a lawnmower with them around

there is always the possibility of reproduction by seed, everything is to prove. try to cultivate many and by different mechanisms to see which is more effective and profitable.

This part of the plantation of the crops is very interesting, since we can have different ways of obtaining it. They give themselves very well under the ground, they are their nature.
