Sunchoke mountain warning

ALL the books warn Jerusalem artichokes are nigh-on impossible to move once planted.
True to form, we hadn’t read up on their super-human staying power before we enthusiastically buried about ten tubers last spring.
(I'm keen to grow veg that are either elusive or insultingly expensive in the shops, so rocket, mange tout, purple sprouting broccoli, peppers and fennel are also on the list...)
After a harvest which should technically have qualified as an EU artichoke mountain this January, we decided to eradicate the crop and re-plant just four or five tubers this time
