Growing your own Sweet Potatoes is really easy.
Cut a cube of your sweet potato about 5 cm x 5 cm.
Fill a large container with potting soil and mix in worm compost. (Placing stone ship in the bottom to ensure drainage.)
Plant your sweet potato piece in the center about 5 cm in-depth.
Water well until water runs out of the pot, making sure all the soil is thoroughly wet. Do this every day. In a short period of time you will see vine growth.
After about 3 months, start feeling around in the soil for new potatoes and harvest as required.
This Sweet Potato has been in the same pot now for 3 years and has provided a great deal of Sweet potatoes.
It also becomes quite a talking point, when I show my guests a new potato pulled from the ground.

Every spring my granmother would put a sweet potato in a vase and it would grow in to a beautiful vine during the summer. It was always fun for us kids.
