Select a sunny spot in your garden where your sweet potatoes can bask in a minimum of 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Ensure that this area boasts good drainage to avoid waterlogging, as sweet potatoes are averse to saturated soil.
Step 2: Preparing the Soil Bags
If you opt for commercial soil bags or grow bags, fill them with high-quality potting mix, leaving a few inches of space at the top. Alternatively, you can concoct your own mixture by blending equal parts compost and garden soil. Sweet potatoes thrive in loose, well-draining soil, so ensure your mix is well-aerated.
Step 3: Planting Sweet Potato Slips
Sweet potato slips, which are young, rooted plants, can be acquired from a nursery or cultivated from sweet potatoes at home. Plant these slips approximately 4-6 inches deep in the soil bags, spacing them at intervals of 12-18 inches. Position each slip vertically with the roots facing downward and the leafy portion above the soil surface.
