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
• Sunchokes are hardy in USDA zones 3 to 9, meaning they can tolerate a range of temperatures, from cold winters to warm summers.  
• Sunchokes prefer a pH of around 6.5 to 7.
• Plant sunchokes in spring or fall.  In warmer climates, you can plant them in early fall for a spring harvest. 
• 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.
