Nice! Can you grow yucca where you are? Incredibly easy to grow in my area, but yields significantly more than taro.

Do you mean yuca as in cassava/manioc/tapioca? Yucca is something else here.

Yeah I have about 20 or so plants growing. I planted them mainly as a support species for my fruit trees but then I realised I'd be disturbing their roots if I harvested the cassava.

They're my other SHTF starch source.

I've only harvested 1 plant so far & it was pretty small. The tubers made a great mash & lovely fries though.

I'm growing them in the drier parts of my plot now. They're equally as low effort as the cassava.

Yes exactly. I always forget about the other one, but cassava is what I'm referring to. Excellent mash if you like that kind of thing.

I love the mash with a thick, rich, meat sauce.

It's a bit too gloopy by itself.
