mescalito Posted August 6, 2003 I will soon have spare tubers of this fairly rare indigenous south american food source if anyone's interested? Apparently you just dig'em up wash and eat!! They've been acclimatised to colder regions too :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trip Dr Posted August 9, 2003 Hello, that yaccon you have sounds interesting. How do you go about cultivating it? Can you simply burry a tuber and let it grow? Would be an interesting addition to the garden me thinks. namaste Trip Dr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mescalito Posted August 9, 2003 Yep, just stick'em in the ground and away they go! I have a limited number(very) atm,but I could get more. They ones I planted 3 weeks ago are throwing vegetative growth now! I guess you could cut them like potatoes and split 1 tuber..? I'm not sure (this is my first lot!)
