Production planning estimate

Plan around lb of root per plant per year

A starting estimate is 2 lb of root per plant per year. That means one plant is a reasonable first unit to plan for, then adjust for your climate, practices, and household demand.

Space guideline

4 sq ft per plant

Starting plan

— plants

Planning note: A vigorous perennial root. Grow it somewhere contained, since any piece of leftover root will resprout.
