Preferably from a batch of extra delicious, healthy sweet potatoes<\/li>\n<li>Let them sit for a day or so. The part of the cut exposed to the air should dry up a bit.<\/li>\n<li>Plant them in the soil, sand is good. They will grow in even poor quality soil.<\/li>\n<li>They don&#8217;t really need to be fertilized.<\/li>\n<li>Keep watered.<\/li>\n<li>Once you have one plant, you can break off bunches of leaves and just stick them in the ground.<\/li>\n<li>They make a nice ground cover. The vines will grow and expand to cover a lot of area.<\/li>\n<li>Plant a bunch and you will have an edible landscape.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The leaves are edible too and make a great addition to salads. Nathan grows three different colors of sweet potatoes.<\/p>\n<p>This makes a nice tri-color salad.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Growing Your own Vegetables and Fruits, guarantees you a fresh supply of organic produce at a very low cost.
