  • Sweet potatoes

    Has anyone ever grown sweet potatoes? Are they easy to grow? I understand you have to buy slips, but these seem really expensive! Is it possible to grow these yourself from a shop potato? If the yield is good, then maybe they are worth the cost.

    Hi Bex, there are lots of threads on this subject but this is one of the most expansive ones, hope it answers all your questions:.............Personally, I wouldn't bother.

      I did try them a couple weeks f years ago, they do take up a lot of space, and really like the sun, mine were outside, not very successful, I did get a few small tubers, but wouldn't bother again, as I don't know have the space. But if you have space then give them a go, they ramble across the ground
