Jerusalem artichokes in a tub ?

I have just (foolishly) bought a pot full of jerusalem artichokes though there is nowhere suitable to grow them in my garden. But I do have a really big tub (about 3ft across the top and about the same height) which I used for tomatoes a couple of years ago. So I've popped them in there with some fresh compost. Do you think they'll grow ?

My experience is it would be a great idea to contain them. In the ground we couldn't keep on top of them, they spread and spread and when we wanted to get rid of them we couldn't!0

I think a tub would be really sensible as I have Jerusalem artichokes marauding across my garden. I only planted about 6 of them last year, and now I could feed the 5000!0

I have always grown JA's in a tub-just bought some from Tescos and planted them . Each year I think Ive harvested them all but they just keep coming...0

Heavens ! Thanks everyone - I'm glad I didn't have room in the garden, they sound quite scary, and I seem accidentally to have done the right thing ! :beer:0
