    I'm doing the same... but so far mine haven't even sprouted! They've been in since the first too.

    I was going to add some in, simply because I've a load and assuming for tuber production it's going to the be same mix required anyway

      My manky Oca crop from last year are still out of the ground - but chitting! (not deliberately - I've just found them!!). I bought them this time last year at the RHS show.
      Thanks for the reminder Donna - I'll do summat with them now

        I read (somewhere, maybe Real Seeds website) Oca do not need much feeding unlike a tattie. The only feed I gave them was some weak comfey tea(when I remembered).

        Just had a quick look and on Wikipaedia it states Oca grows in poor soil in the mountains, so......

              Hold your horses Chris! I stuck an odd Oca into a houseplant pot (don't ask but it was handy) and its covered in leaves. Wish I'd done the same with the rest of the miserable crop.
