Jerusalem artichoke planter

Cultured: How Ancient Foods Can Feed Our Microbiome, by Katherine Harmon Courage, made me want to grow Jerusalem artichokes. Courage argues that we evolved to eat lots of fiber, and lots of different kinds of fiber; and Jerusalem artichokes contain a kind that is particularly good for our metabolism.

I read that they were prone to spread and hard to get rid of, so I wanted to plant them in a container. ( many pictures of the process behind the cut )
