You have looked at the calorie levels of that garlic and those

Oh I forgot...15 pounds of potatoes on an extra 30 square feet, plus
just as many Jerusalem artichokes in the same amount of space on the
other side of the yard. Hows 30 pounds of starch in an extra 60
square feet?

Build up, not out with tire stacks. Grow potatoes, jerusalem
