Jerusalem Artichokes

Really do not know why I have never grown them before?
Anyway, even though all are now showing signs of new growth buds, is it okay to put peelings from them in a compost bin or is this courting disaster?

The myth of leaving them in the ground and they'll keep coming back doesn't work if it's very wet.
I imagine they'll dry on a compost heap and die nicely.

I hope your right.

Yes, agree I lost all of mine

[Florence Fennel]

I lost all mine although I have a sneaking suspicion that I may catch site of a turbo-powered squirrel in the spring ......

I lost mine about 3 year ago then they came back the year after, bit odd really.
