Sweet potatoes in raised bed

[Brandon558]

I decided to plant potatoes and made a 10'x5' raised bed. I tilled the dirt and added alot of soil and compost. I made sure the soil with soft and loose and planted sweet potatoe transplants....spaced them out well. I am just curious on how they grow in raised beds? This is my first experience with potatoes at all....please fill me in on any need to knows and tips.


I know my brother grows them and said they go crazy with their vines....if need be could i just keep cutting the vines back when they exit the bed or will that hurt the potatoe harvest.


Thanks
