this is the bed that is being contained by the political signs. Sunchokes are notoriously aggressive and persistent. We dug them up, but I would be very surprised if we did not miss some that persist. I would leave the barriers in until you were confident that every bit of root was gone, or leave them in permanently and refill the bed with sunchokes.
