>What I think I'm hearing from you guys is that sweet potatoe
will take more space than I have: I have two raised beds that
are 4' by 10' 

>Although I wasn't looking for a lot ofpotatoes, maybe a total
harvest of eight pounds, I just don't have many squares to give
to them. Katherine Wendt

*Nah.  Book says 3.28 Sq Ft.
ALSO says 15x15" intensive, using rich soil.
Add a bit of manure etceteras, a 4x4 should yield
>10 squares/plants.  Frank got his 2 lbs per.
This extrapolates to you getting 20 lbs.  You want 8.
TRY SOME.

Maybe, 2x4 Ft area, intensive (4-5 plants)...
and a 2x4 area, with 2-3 plants.
Weigh/size results!!!
"ology."  Study.  Experiment.  Have fun!!!!!!!!

Who said... in house... vine...
I recall, a glass, stck 3 toothpicks in the potatoe
half/end/whole(if small) and let it be in water
3/4 inch only.  kinda pretty!  After that, plant if
You desire, in a pot.  otherwise, call yourself a
hydroponisist.  That's... anOther List... :>) LOL
