Care and Maintenance

• Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged to prevent root rot.
• Weeding: Regularly remove weeds to reduce competition for nutrients.
• Harvesting: Harvest roots in the fall of the first year or spring of the second year. Use a garden fork to carefully dig out the long roots, ensuring minimal damage.
