    How much dirt are you putting on top of the shoots? When do you harvest?

    We just started these, but they say 1-2 inches over the tops of the shoots, keep covering them as they grow. They like water, but need to be well drained. Harvest when they leaf out after the bucket is filled with dirt (3ish months?).

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
