In any case, I'd wait till early Spring before buying; once separated, the propagules need careful treatment to survive over the winter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999959164086250161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877603171717741431.post-8728379854407656862013-12-28T16:21:57.305+00:002013-12-28T16:21:57.305+00:00Hello Ian , I don't mind buying them from yak ...Hello Ian , I don't mind buying them from yak on.co.uk but Paul has not been responding to email on the site .

I guess my best bet is then to try to see how to obtain a phytosanitary certificate so I can import it.<br />Cheers!<br />SergioOishinbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15827167951649476766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877603171717741431.post-58250719729978918162013-05-02T17:22:33.261+01:002013-05-02T17:22:33.261+01:00Hi Oishinbo.

It seems to be down to controlling moisture/humidity. Keeping them on the dry side, but with some spindle tubers as a water reserve, is my current thinking.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14999959164086250161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877603171717741431.post-44773976469819047032013-03-24T09:33:36.933+00:002013-03-24T09:33:36.933+00:00Ian,

In this case it's very obvious what happened, sad world...<br />I never had a problem surviving yacon, just dig the whole thing in one piece, store it in a cool room, moderate air humidity, and try to cover them with some potting soil, compost, shavings or other stuff, don't water them, but cut some tubers that start rotting if you see that happens. I can save them until June like that, <br />Frankorflohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01012811737135812741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877603171717741431.post-64539710649597167852013-03-21T22:32:00.670+00:002013-03-21T22:32:00.670+00:00I had good luck growing Yacon in Los Angeles- I th...I had good luck growing Yacon in Los Angeles- I thought the tubers were delicious too.Maximus Pontificushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07251117206976432705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5877603171717741431.post-55825272898766876202013-03-21T20:07:05.201+00:002013-03-21T20:07:05.201+00:00Hi takacs05.
