Diane Ditzler on May 20, 2015Just put soil about 1/3 full in the bucket, as the sweet potato grows, add more soil, keep doing this 'til the bucket is filled, The potatoes will grow along the 'stem' that you covered.I use landscape material & sew my own 'buckets'. Love my sweet potatoes!!Helpful Reply
