Well this is some BS. I had a ton of vines. I really thought I would have more and bigger sweet potatoes than this. This is the third year my sweet potatoes have sucked. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. #garden #asknostr

I have the same problem...
Too much nitrogen maybe. Would be great for many crops…
A lot of mulch??
You have to deprive nitrogen more to develop roots…
Maybe not your problem but I have had this one
So bone meal only?
Hmm I don’t know. What’s the soil like
Mix of sand and compost
Plant them into a row of greenhouse plastic. They love the soil to be hot🔥
Sounds about right. Not sure they need much… you’ll get them next season!
I had a few that would've been nicer but the voles got them. If I can line the bed with hardware wire and build a greenhouse tent over it I might try again.
Those look pretty good.
Did you start from just one?
When I plant sweet potatoes, I use a bunch of starters. They don't have to be big or spread out much, just grow more than one. A 3'x3' bed gave me more than 30 lbs starting from about 8 pieces.
😭
try black plastic mulch. they need heat.
