How to Grow Sunchokes

 How to grow sunchokes? Here are some tips:

  • Choose a sunny location  · Plant sunchokes in loose, well- drained soil  
  • Plant sunchokes in a dedicated bed  
  • Sunchokes have a tendency to quickly spread and take over a flower bed or vegetable garden, so it’s best to plant sunchokes in their own exclusive bed.  · 
  • Space sunchoke tubers 12 to 18 inches apart  · 
  • Plant tubers 4-6 inches deep. Spread a one-inch layer of mulch over the topsoil  · 
  • It is normal if you find some small black spots on the sunchokes.  ·
  •  Any small piece of tuber you leave in your garden after the harvest will grow into another sunchoke plant and produce new tubers the following year.
