Fill trenches in as shoots grow. Space rows 2 1/2 - 4' apart. CULTIVATE OR MULCH to control weeds. Fertilize at least once during growingseason, and water well during dry spells.

Customer Reviews

Not as much germination as hoped.
It's years too early to see how they taste, but only about half of the roots I planted sprouted.
