This looks rather like Danny and Wanda’s wagon wheel method of planting sugarcane:
It’s interesting how small they make their cuttings. I’m not sure pieces that little would survive winter here, but it would be worth trying.
Also, I need to grow sugarcane that gets that tall! Holy moly. I feel like a failure this year.

Looks very deeply planted too.
Yes, I noticed that. I wonder if that’s better than my 4-6″ plantings.
It makes a nice looking plantation too, commercial sugarcane looks like a tangled mess, usually. Do you think planted like that it would be a good biomass to incorporate into your grocery row design, maybe to take the place of the banana?
I don’t think it’s as good, since the canes take a long time to break down. But after crushing, they are a fine mulch.
