Thanks for reading!
Alan, one of the things that got me interested in Jerusalem artichokes is the incredible volume of biomass. This can be harvested for composting (or ethanol production, or...) and still leave enough energy for the plant to continue living. Top that off with the simultaneous incredible capacity for self-replication, and it's a really outstaning plant. It gets bonus points in my book for being a native plant, as well...
Plantsnobin, I would consider selling some. I'm thinking a half a pound would get you going. I'd sell a half-pound for $6.00, plus postage. The handling is on me.

I like the blog, Johno! I do click on the adds, and I thought it was pretty funny to find the add for the resinous plants. Boy, those seeds are pricey!!

Hi Sammy, thank you for reading it! I have no real control over the content of the ads, other than setting the 'bots' up - artificial intelligence shows what it thinks you'd like to see based on keywords (like 'seeds,' etc.) Thanks for clicking on them!
I have 2 or 3 of pounds of Jerusalem artichokes dug up, by the way!
I'm willing to sell them by the pound for ten dollars, 1/2 pound for six, plus postage. I need to find the right boxes to ship them in - haven't figured that part out just yet - because they'd surely get damaged in a bubble envelope. I'll let you all know when I get set on that detail. Thanks for the interest!

Johno, your money is in the mail. Alan, I went to get feed, and Marvin said that he loses thousands of worms when he puts the bedding in the manure spreader, and that I could come with a bucket and get the worms. He said that if he sees a big clump of worms he will toss them aside, but other than that he just dumps them all on the loader. Oh, the wormanity!!!
