I've got a lot of Jerusalem Artichoke tubers to give away otherwise they'll be going in the next big fire I have.
To be collected from Hilderthorpe, 10km north of Oamaru
Living on a 7 acre property near Oamaru I currently have 5 wonderful Standardbred horses, 8 alpacas, 6 former battery hens, 1 labrador and 8 cats. I eat only plant based food and love trying new plant based recipes. Retired from the paid workforce in December 2019 and have never been busier!!
They are good for pigs. Plant up a paddock. The pigs will harvest their own and turn the soil ready for the next crop. Can I interest you in a couple of pigs?
I am just about to plant some, just have to find a place the goats won't eat them and I don't mind when they take over. []
There are too many for me to eat ...

Much as I've always wanted to have a pet pig I'm happy to have just the alpacas on my property

I've advertised the tubers on 2 local Facebook pages and on TradeMe but there's still no interest in them whatsoever!

How should I feed them to the various critters? Last year I chopped up some tubers and fed them with their other food to the goats. Can I pull out the whole plant and give it to the goats? What about hens and pigs? Can they have them raw as well?

I don't know off hand but I'm guessing that the cost of freight would be dearer than the cost of buying tubers from a nursery.

Why not eat them?
