    Thank you for great information how to propagate tigernuts. I'll certainly plant them here in southern California. They are so expensive at 2.2 lbs for $25 on Amazon. I'll plant it bec I can't have dairy or nut milk. This is great info and worth planting for sure. Thanks again!

    I don't think I've ever had a tiger nut, but they seemed fun so I picked up a packet to try planting some this year. Thanks very much for the informative video x

    My tigernuts last year died off so I didn't get any nuts. I did find some from a couple of years ago dried up and shrivelled in a tub at the back of the shed, after soaking and planting in modules I got 5 out of 15 growing so they are still viable after several years, albeit with a lower germination rate.
    They are also called Yellow Nutsedge which in the USA is an invasive weed and the bane of a golf course groundsman's live. If your in the US and can't find them pop round your local golf course and ask if you could dig some out the rough.

      I've read they are invasive so was worried about planting the ones I got from you into the garden. I planted some in pots and some in a fish box a few weeks ago and no sign of life yet. If they do grow do you think transplanting them to a garden is ok or will they take over?

    • @zaneymay
      @zaneymay 3 роки тому +3

      @@justdefacts I put most of mine in the grown and they have not taken over. If you miss some when harvesting them, they should show up the next year.
      The ones I have left in pots are doing the best.

    • @GardensforLife
      @GardensforLife  3 роки тому +2

      @@justdefacts We've not found them invasive at all. Where we planted them in permanent positions we over harvested and they didn't come the next year. Hopefully yours will germinate yet, they will eventually when the conditions are right. I reckon keep them well water and in a warm place like a green house for the best chances.

      People are probably thinking of the common lawn weed, nutsedge, a close cousin of the tiger nut. Nutsedge is difficult to get rid of in the home lawn.

    google tells me they are frost sensitive. how yours survived hard frosts? how cold does it get in Ireland? i live in central Europe it can get down to -10 C here, but its rare, last dozen or so winters were mild

      Only 1 month after germination. Soak the dry nuts for 24 hours and keep them warm after planting in a tray.

    I like eating tiger nuts raw. They are delicious, sweet and chewy.
    How do you wash them to eat them raw?

    • @GardensforLife
      @GardensforLife  Рік тому

      It takes a lot of effort to wash them, in a bow with warm running water. Raw they're nice, but dried they're sweeter.

      Good idea, but i'm not sure if they wouldn't sink too quick though. They are much lighter when dry so that might work. Will try when i get a chance to go fishing again!
