If you have ever googled oca or mauka then you have probably stumbled on this UK based grower's fantastic blog. Here's an interview: veggiepatchreimagined.blogspot.ca/2013/12/a-passion-for-edible-root-exploration.html

Garden is a clearing in the woods grading from shallow, rocky soil supporting a maple bush to a pine forest planted on sandy soil and a clay bottomland with spruce and tamarack.

Very good. I think you needed more mashua discussion though.

(I tried to leave you a comment, but it kept giving me a captcha error. As indecipherable as those things have become, I may well have just mistyped it repeatedly.)

Growing where temperate rainforest meets the sea (WA coast): Jan avg low temp ~34*F, Aug avg high temp ~69*F, ~111 annual inches of rain, but only about 15 inches May-Sep, salt air, lots of wind.
