We grow Jerusalem artichoke in felt containers buried in the ground.
This prevents its vigorous spread in the garden because of tubers left behind.

We used five containers last season, however,
one of them was died of fungus disease (southern blight).

We pulled up two containers and dug up Jerusalem artichoke tubers yesterday.
Then weighed the harvest using a spring scale; it weighed about 7 kg.

We stored it in the plastic container with compost.
We dig and use tubers as much as necessary
until early spring when they start to bud.

うちではエルサレムアーティチョーク（キクイモ）を
地面に埋め込んだフェルトのコンテナで栽培しています.
こうすればイモの取り残しが原因で庭でどんどん広がるのを防げるからです.
昨年は5つのコンテナを使いましたが、うち一つは白絹病で枯れました.
昨日は2つのコンテナを地面から引き上げて、キクイモを掘り上げました.
重さをバネばかりで計ると7キロほどありました.
キクイモは培養土と一緒にプラスチックの容器に保存、
芽が出始める早春までに、必要に応じて掘って使います.
In the holes where containers were buried, we unexpectedly found some tubers.
It seemed that roots penetrated the felt and bore tubers outside the containers.
We must pay attention to this pitfall.
コンテナを埋めていた穴で、意外なことに何個かイモをみつけました.
どうも根がフェルトを貫通して外にイモをつくったようです.
この落とし穴には注意が必要です.
