Growing kuumara tipu

Go Eco are hosting a series of free gardening workshops this winter, and welcome beginners and experts to join us.

August is here and it is time to get your kuumara sprouting to have a good supply of tipu for spring planting.

Kuumara are grown from slips of tipu, which are the shoots you get when you leave them too long in your cupboard.

We show you a few ways of getting them to grow to propagate your own kuumara plants. Bring along a kuumara and an ice cream container if you want to get growing straight away!

This is one in a series of Free Winter Gardening Workshops.
