Testing various tweaks to growing sweet potatoes versus how I have done it in the past.
The main, original idea I wanted to test was to determine what the ideal number of sweet potato slips would be per container for the best useable production.
Additionally, I wanted to test the effectiveness of using these fabric to grow what I've found is usually a productive and low maintenance crop when I've grown them in raised garden beds with and without square foot gardening methods as well as simply in ground.
In regards to the different materials making up the fabric containers used here, my intentions when I bought them was to test each type of material to see if it made a real difference. I decided to use the pot with the odd green fabric as a median, growing two slips believing the single and triple planted containers with similar material would be more reasonable to juxtapose directly.
My experiments were all imperfect and congested in trying so many variables with such a small sample. The results were definitely surprising and only make me want to further experiment with better constants and controls.
The grow bags I used were made to be potato grow bags or tuber grow bags. The little trap door seems pointless upon reflection, reminding me of something you might see in a RU-vid, Instagram or TikTok short, Reelz or whatever touting garden hacks or tips and tricks that are just trying to sell the gimmicky container features. The bags themselves were great and I expect to get a few years use out of them. The harvesting window or whatever its called seems to serve no real benefit.
