Quick & Easy: How to Plant Sweet Potato Slips 

Picture
This warm weather crop is remarkably nutritious and versatile. Each fleshly root is rich in vitamins A and C, along with many important minerals.  
How to Grow:
Step 1: Before planting, mix in a 1-inch layer of compost and thoroughly loosen and dampen the bed. 

Step 2: Plant slips 12 to 18 inches apart. Plant slips deep enough to cover the roots and about 1/2 inch of the stem.

Step 3: Water generously for a few days to make sure that the plants root well.


Step 4: About 2 weeks after planting, mulch and feed plants with a balanced organic fertilizer.
