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.
