Eleocharis dulcis
First I sprouted the bulbs in small half-submerged pots. I started with 10 bulbs, but only 4 have sprouted so far.
When the stems were 2 - 4 inches tall, I added them to the barrel, which is half filled with sandy soil from the yard.
I’m using a floating mosquito control ring to keep this from becoming a breeding ground for my least favorite pest.
This may or may not provide much for our kitchen, but it has been a fun adventure. Please share any experience you may have had growing these sweet corms.
I’ll keep you posted on my progress.
