Free Oca for a good home

Supercell

I have half a 20kg bag full of Oca tubers (probably a couple of hundred ) that I have decided to give away. My wife doesn't like the taste (kind of like a lemony potato taste) though I love it but as there are two of us (adults) there is no point in me growing it again.

The tubers are quite hard to get hold of so it would break my heart to throw them away.
They are best suited for growing in coastal areas as any decent frost will wipe out the crop if it hits before around November, after that its actually favourable.

They are very easy to grow, slugs are not interested and are very very easy to propagate, even sticking the stalk into the ground from a growing one will root too and grow tubers itself.

These are collection only. I'm in Loughlinstown, very close to the Cherrywood exit 16 on the M50, i could post if needed though taker pays for postage

They grow quite big and should be planted about a foot apart roughly.

Let me know how much you would like either over PM or here and we'll arrange collection over PM.

April is a good time to plant them as the last frosts should be pretty much gone by now at least in coastal parts.
