I IGNORED My Sweet Potatoes For 6 MONTHS To Double My Harvest!

The secret to growing sweet potatoes is to leave them alone. Too much fertilizer and compost grows beautiful sweet potato vines, but small sweet potato roots. Less love makes a bigger sweet potato harvest. BUT, do sweet potatoes thrive on total neglect? I put this to the test. I ignored my sweet potatoes for 6 months. I did not expect this sweet potato growing technique to double my harvest, but the results shocked me!
