Good idea to try to grow them up elders- good luck and hope you get a good yield!</p> Hi Mike mine started from small pea-sized tubers two years ago- this was the first time I had looked at them since really, so was glad to get a crop!

I found a large patch of this plant many years ago while doing some botanical work along the banks of a large stream that flows into Lake Erie (Pennsylvania USA) at the site of an ancient Indian village. Just last week I transplanted some tubers into some clearings in a patch of woods on the campus of the college where I teach biology and sustainability studies. How long were your groundnut plants in the ground before you were able to harvest them? I have no idea what to expect, and have also planted some with yound elderberry shrubs on our college farm? Did you start your plants as tubers or seedlings grown from seeds? Mike Campbell</p> Congratulations on your successful production of groundnut (= hopniss = Apios americana).

If in doubt best check with a builder for safety. Some pictures would be great!</p> Hi Paul best to use an insulated flu pipe- from the stove up it can be single skin but should be insulated as it passes through the roof, which also helps the stove burn more efficiently.

I have my structure up and braced. I am about to put the green roof on(similiar to the way you did yours using builder and silage cover). I want to put a flue up threw the roof? I was thinking of using a couple of sheets of galvanised steel with the flue threw it with led around. Do you think this would work. I dont want the plastic to melt, or any insulation to go on fire. I see you put your flue out the side. I am building my walls with straw, plus I already have a straight flue sourced. Thanks again Graham, will I send u pictures so far?PaulC</p> Graham, Paul here again. I have my structure up and braced.

They come across more like immature or fundamentalist religious believers whose faith cannot tolerate challenges very well.
