I can tell you guy's that are new to growing chufa, follow the advice above! Mr. Steve has been a huge part in teaching me how to grow chufa. The only thing I have done different is I plant mine in rows. I'm lucky to have access to a planter, therefore I take advantage of being able to use it. I have learned it is personally easier for me to keep the weeds in check and I do not damage many chufa plants due to driving between the rows.. I have also seen great yields planting in rows.
