RE: Permaculture Food Crops: Tale of the Tiger Nut (Perennial Vision)
Hello , good morning is very interesting your post , I'm not sure if in tropical conditions you can grow this species of Cyperus, although the species Cyperus rotundus, which we call corocillo if it grows in tropical conditions and is considered a very aggressive weed for its rapid spread, although some people give a medicinal use to your tubers. Perennial crops have their advantages from the point of view of soil protection and as you say in your post less maintenance and you can make associations of crops. Congratulations on your harvest
That's interesting to hear about another species in the cyperus genus. As with the term "weedy" it comes with a lot of baggage. Tiger nuts are very widespread and may be considered a weed by many as well. It's all about perspective i suppose.
Glad you appreciate perennials too!
