When is the best time to dig taro?

In the northern region, taro must be dug out in time when it is ripe, otherwise the ground temperature is too low and it is easy to get frostbite.

After the taro is dug out, it is treated.

After the taro is dug, it can be eaten directly after being washed and steamed. However, if you want to keep taro longer, you can use the following two methods: 1. Burying method: dig a rectangular water storage ditch outdoors with a depth of about 50cm. Spread a layer of wet sand at the bottom of the ditch and put taro in it, which can cover the soil many times. Be careful not to seep water. 2. Pit storage method: Dig a pit in a place with high terrain and good drainage. Pit depth 1 m, padded with straw. Before into the pit, remove rotten taro and diseased taro. After into the pit, spread taro with straw, cover it with 50 cm of soil, and then pat it tightly, so that taro can spend the whole winter smoothly.
