I would grow it in a "wicking barrel". Use a plastic 55 gallon drum and cut it in half, now you've got two. See how to make one on YouTube.
Yacon needs pretty good light so put the barrel close to a large window or enclosed porch.
I wish I could find some yacon to grow! Would you tell me where you found yours. I've been wanting to grow ya on for years out here on the farm but haven't found the tubers.
Hi Tim! Where about do you live? I grow a large crop every year in the springtime. Please contact me if you’re interested in obtain some from me.

Hi Annette,
Ate you still growing the Yacon? I live in the north Florida area, Glen St Mary in Baker county.
Are you anywhere near me that I could see how you're growing the Yacon, or that I might have a sprout or two? I may have something to trade if you like.
