Maca - anyone tried to grow this?

Post: # 173513Post littleblackfox »

Has anyone here ever tried to grow Maca (Lepidium meyenii)?
All I know is what Wikipedia has to say (and I'm always a bit wary of wikiwisdom, it being a giant hive mind with some pockets of idiocy)

So any advice/warnings would be very appreciated!

Hi,

Yes, I spotted that forum discussion, it's the only info I've seen so far on growing in the UK. Thanks for posting it (or I'd have never found it again!)
Will give them a go next year, and post if I get any results!
