Potato Bin Growing 2014

Thank you for the excellent documentation. I was considering growing white or sweet potatoes in a 32 gal trash can that had split. I'm not terribly pleased with my yield growing above ground.

This summer I grew sweet potatoes in a raised bed and got nothing., just a fibrous root system. The same transplants grown nearby inground produced two inch tubers. Everything else did fabulous. I'll decide down the road about trying again.

Thanks again for sharing. The set up was very nice.
