Bob Stehlik thanks for the info. I will have to figure out where to put it. whats the best thing to use to contain it? Maybe sections of a barrel or similar.
Wife just picked a little over a bushel of green and wax beans tonight. -

kyle You can use a 10/15 gal tree bucket and drill some holes in the bottom for drainage. That’s what I used many years ago. However no guarantees! Mine still spread.

Bob Stehlik thanks. I have a lot of steel barrels and a backhoe, maybe I will bury one, but leave a foot or two sticking up. We did that at my parents for bamboo and it seemed to contain it.
hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!

kyle Should be a piece of cake for you. I had to go to a tree nursery and buy a used tree bucket and then dig the hole manually! HR propagates through root growth, so I don’t think you would have to leave much more than 6” above ground.

kyle My HR bed has been in for 20 yrs now and has spread to twice the size. I harvest in fall but from different sides of bed every other year.I also re bury the heads and they will re grow

bocephus I didnt grow my cabbage either back when we would do 250 pounds. We could buy it so cheap it wasn’t worth growing. Now that I only do 50 pounds, and with prices going up on everything, I started growing it.

kyle Just go for it. Try to get some crowns or roots from a friend or neighbor. The rest will take care of itself. HR kind of has a mind of its own. I think you may still have some time UP North to get it in this year. and have a good start for next year and then put another crown/root in in the spring. HR loves that Wisconsin weather, so does garlic. I grew up in the Village of West Milwaukee and we always had HR and garlic in our garden.

Bob Stehlik sounds good. A guy I work with has some. Maybe I can get some from him
