      Thanks! I have 19 plants and so far have filled 2 gallon-size freezer bags! And they’re still going too.

        How big of a plot are the plants in? We have somewhere around 8 plants in a 20 gallon bucket like thing. I think we would need two more buckets to have that many plants

          It’s like 8 feet by 5 feet. The plants should have 12-18 inches space.

          After harvest you should mow them down to 2”, leaving just a few small leaves, then and only then should you fertilize. Remove all runners. Once the plants are 4-5 years old, let the runners grow into new plants which you put into a new bed in the fall.
