help!!! i have never grown sweet potatoes...or hardly any veggies for that matter and I have been given 3 beauregard plants that i was told came from wal mart. i know its not a lot but for me it is...hahahaha!
i love sweet potatoes and would really LOVE to be successful in this new adventure.
i have limited space...is it a crazy idea to grow these in some sort of large container?
trash can with lots of drainage holes or a whiskey barrel or something.
i could trellis the vines like I do everything else. I have my other veggies in earthboxes (tomatoes, peppers, and cukes) but I don't think they would work in them. I think they would end up rotting or the box would not be deep enough maybe?
if i do end up putting them in the ground..somewhere...what soil ammendments are needed? anything special? my yard is all south carolina concrete...i mean clay...
i would like to get these planted this weekend so any info all you wonderful veggie people could give would be great. any ideas appreciated.
one other thing...i am not grasping the "curing" thing. i understand it is needed in order to store them but not sure how or why it works. why it needs to be 80 degrees to cure. if I dig these up in october what will be the best way for me to cure these if weather is not cooperating?
thanks for all your help!
