I let 4 slips go in a 15 gal fabric grow bag for 179days (Zone 9a) and harvested about 16lbs. I am currently curing them in a clear plastic tub over a seed heat mat at 85 degrees with a half-gallon jar of water for humidity. In 10 days I move them outside to the shed for the cool dry portion of the cure. Looks like sweet potatoes for Christmas. Thanks for your growing tips and soil building ideas. They are invaluable.

Oh yes! I am growing these sweet potatoes! First time ever. I live in southern Arizona where we hit 110 degrees! Perfect. I love sweet potatoes. In Perú (South America I was raised with them!)
Thanks for the sweet potato harvest video. I was waiting for this because I have sweet potatoes planted in a 20 gallon fabric bag. My slips were taking to long so I found some at Lowe’s. I will be harvesting soon. I can’t wait!

Great tips, great harvest!! Will plant my slits tomorrow!! I grew my slits in 3 ways. One sweet potato was in a dark box and it grew slits. One sweet potato 🍠 I cut in half dusted the exposed ends with ash and burn them slightly in a potting mix. One I put in water with half the potato in water, half out. They all grew slits.

Just watching this as my partner came home with a sweet potato plant a couple of months ago to try. Not something I've ever considered growing here in the UK but we stuck it in a potato bag (reassured that we did the right thing there!) and kept our fingers crossed. It's doing well - we currently have some flowers (which are really pretty) but we have no idea when to harvest it! So thanks for the video!

So I’ve found your channel, have had 2 organic sweet potatoes in water in front of the window for the last 2 1/2 months- I change the water every 3 to 4 weeks and now I’m going to get rid of the potatoes. Sweet potatoes look bad so and I’ve threw them away. I’ve got more organic sweet potatoes so this time I’m gonna try and the place the sweet potato in a container and see if I’m not able to grow the slips this way. I’ve enjoyed your channel. So here’s hoping for luck, Lol. Thanks
I had some overgrown sweet potatoes on the counter this spring, so I decided to plant the whole things. First time growing some. I'm getting beautiful leaf growth, and it's still warm here in Central TX.. Can't wait to see if I got any more potatoes! Can't remember if I planted them in May or June, but based on your 100 day recommendation, I'll let them go to October and see what we get.

Good to know that the roots grow through the pots on a solid surface. The information I'm trying to find that nobody seems to be providing is how to keep adding potting mix to the pots. I understand that it's about 4 in of potting mix at first. Then the vines grow and you keep filling it in. Do you have to clip off the leaves or just fill in potting Nick's around the vines with the leaves still intact? One person mentioned that if we harvest the leaves that, that will decrease the harvest. I don't know if that was in regards to the vine in general because it was in the context of discussing the leaves being edible.
I dont for sweet potatoes as I just plant a let them go. I used to do it for potatoes but didnt find much difference.

Okay. I know it is kind of late. I live where the temperatura doesn’t get below 80 until the last week of December. Anyway, I want to get the soil right. I made all this compost from hot compost. 160 degrees. I wanted to incorporate that. And it would be lovely if I didn’t need to buy soil. I don’t want to spend more money than the sweet potatoes are worth. And I and I am using containers because of lack of space. Is there any chance I could use soil from the woods?

YES, sweet potatoes have to be dried a bit, there is a best temperature and humidity that brings out the best tastes, you can eat them without curing them but I have been told they are not SWEET...
Thank you for all your content Gary, and t is really helpful. What does the watering schedule look like for sweet potatoes? I know you say to water with a water soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks, but any watering between fertilizing?
It varies as the days get hotter and on the size of the plants. At height of size and heat 3 or 4 times a week. Otherwise 2-3 times a week. less when first dropped.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I am told that you must cure them in a warm, humid environment for two weeks, otherwise, they are not as sweet as they should be. Also, I have been told to not water the container for 2 weeks prior to harvest and to never wash the potatoes after extracting them from the medium. I have Okinawan sweet potatoes planted from slips from Baker Creek. I plant to cure them like pumpkins and store them in my pantry for the winter.
Can you grow sweet potatoes with the whole potatoes with roots and some slips in containers or do you have to cut slips and let them root before planting! Thank you

Great video, so excited and motivated to grow sweet potatoes in containers or grow bags I really appreciate the encouragement...is there any particular granular fertilizer you recommend? All the best Long Island NY Zone 7a!
Any type is fine that represents NP and K but if you can find something with lower nitrogen and higher Phosphorous and Potassium that is best. Mixing a handful of bone meal in helps too.

Do you clip the tips of the vine when they are bout 3-4 weeks old like some other youtubers advice? You also mentioned water every 2-3 weeks or water the plants every days for 2-3 weeks when they are young?
If is said every 2 or 3 weeks that is wrong. 2 or 3 times a week. Less water when they are small, almost daily toward the end in full hot summer days. I dont clip them.

Hi Gary! At the beginning of July I found a store bought sweet potato starting to grow on my shelf. I decided to give it a shot and put it in water. The slips grew quickly and they were about 8-9 inches when I planted them in a 3ft grow bag. I planted 4 slips. They had been thriving until about 2 weeks ago. Some of the leaves turned yellow and fell off. Should I try to save them or no point since they were planted so late?
If the temperatures have been dropping, that is why they yellow. When the leaves are gone, harvest and thats all you can do Get your Fall Garden Seeds & Spring Seed Starting Supplies at... Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com
Just get them out before it freezes. The potatoes won't store long if the vines freeze, my gardening sources tell me. But if you can leave them in for another week or so, surely you'll have potatoes to harvest. good luck! : )

Does anyone know if I can repot sweet potatoes? I potted 3 slips in a 10g root pouch in April and am thinking that was to small and want to put them in a bigger container would this ruin the harvest? Or damage the crop?
Hi Gary - I'm trying to grow the Okinawa & Kotobuki purple sweet potato. I received the slips today but the biggest fabric pot I have is a 7 gal potato pot, I have some 5 gal ones. Would the 5 gal work? and how many slips should I put in the 7 gal & 5 gal pots? Thanks!
So that is kind of small. 1 or 2 slips is plenty. I do sell 20 and 100 gallons at my shop. They are pretty fairly priced. That is what I will be growing in. With 5 and 7 gallons I would do many of them. You will get sweet potatoes for sure.

Great video.. I've been successfully growing sweet potatoes in large containers for both greens and potatoes for a few years. So successful that I'm desperately searching for a better system to keep the vines off the ground. Could you please tell me what that wire "ladder" from home depot is called. It may be on your receipt. I can't go into the store so I have searched online and even had someone look for it in the store who was told to find out what it was called. I'm also wondering if you have it bent over at the top or just used two pieces to make a sort of teepee out of it.
Its just called ladder mesh. Its a masonry product and some Home Depots have it by the rebar.

Hi, i want to transfer my sweet potato plants that i have grown for about one month in a bucket, to a bigger container. Because i put 4 plants in the bucket 😅 so i thought they might need more space to grow. By when can i start to transplant them? Is now a good time? Or shall i just leave it in the bucket 🪣 ? It looks like the 10 gallon grow bag that you used in the video. Hope you or anyone could help me, it's my first try 😊. Thank you
I would transfer now. I wouldnt wait any longer. Really try and get as much of the roots as you can. My new Podcast: The Rusted Garden Homestead https:bit.ly/443SSGL Thanks...

I never grew sweet potatoes or Irish potatoes before. I tried growing sweet potatoes last year. The slips were labeled sweet potatoes, but turned out to be red skinned Irish potatoes 🤣. Trying again this year. I grow everything that isn’t in my two small raised beds in Root Pouches. They are fantastic for growing healthy plants. I ordered Vardaman sweet potatoes for their bush-like habit. What variety do you grow?

This is so informative thank you Gary! Do you think the trenching/backfilling method you used with your potatoes before would work here? I.e. - plant the slips near the bottom of a deep container/in a trench, and keep covering the stem as it grows? Do you think that might give a higher yield, like how it did with your potatoes?
You don't need to back fill. It wouldn't add but the trailing vines do root in places and often grow sweet potatoes.

Gary Great info. I think you are putting way too much effort and energy into Japanese Potato. I started from Sweet Potato, make my planting soil as your suggested and buried half potato, waited 6 weeks nothing happened. I almost gave up and dig out potato and threw it away in my Compost bin (no kidding) 2 or 3 weeks later I got vines coming out potatoes from compost basket. I skiped growing vines into water jar. I guess they don't like too much love!

Can you help me to understand. This spring I bought a sweet potatoes vine plant with my other annuals plants. I saw them on different videos and I liked how nice they look with other annual. I planted my with cannas in pots and they look nice draping down the front of the pot. Today I took my cannas out the pot to store for next spring and to my surprise the sweet potatoes vine came up with them and they had small sweet potatoes in the pot. The sweet potatoes vine, I thought was just a plant with that name, not a sweet potatoes plant for growing sweet potatoes. I'm so confused, why would people put these vine in with annual if they grew sweet potatoes.
So it is related and I my understanding is it grows the same way but you dont really get large tubers. Basically the SPV makes tubers too but not large scale. Now if what you go are pretty larger... not sure what is going on. Get your Fall Garden Seeds & Spring Seed Starting Supplies at...

Other info which I found for year to year. You don't need to start every year from sweet potato to vine and then planting that vine. Just dig out potato like now for this year and plant some of those vines back into soil, they will be ready like in 6 or 7 months (3 months winter and 4 months post winter). I doing this now and will be able to tell next year if this works. Other thing is for those plant sweet potato in soil or in ground. Let these vine stay on ground. They sprout then some of them plant them selves back into soil. Don't dig out whole plant, those very small potatoes which you dig out are starting material for new crop for next year. In ground planting is very low effort and high yield. I guess only thing you need is some water and fertilizer.

at this time of year, there's nothing youtubers can do about the type of ads that come on. Why not stay away from all social media until December, and then you won't have to be bothered by such things. I don't like the amount of non-recyclable political ads that come to my house, but I'm not going to shoot the mailman. lol. He can't help it!

I let 4 slips go in a 15 gal fabric grow bag for 179days (Zone 9a) and harvested about 16lbs. I am currently curing them in a clear plastic tub over a seed heat mat at 85 degrees with a half-gallon jar of water for humidity. In 10 days I move them outside to the shed for the cool dry portion of the cure. Looks like sweet potatoes for Christmas. Thanks for your growing tips and soil building ideas. They are invaluable.

I love sweet potato I eat.the the leaves as salad.
Don't the leaves contain oxalic acid and need to be cooked well, otherwise your throat gets itchy?
ARLITA GARDEN was wondering if the leaves were edible and how?
@@johnoshiro8885 you have to cook just about 5-8 minutes and then you can Dry the leaves put ingredients...i hope soo soon I can show i can cook the sweet potato leaves i wait they grow 1st because i am new here in France in my country in Philippines we use to cook it...

@@ARLITAGARDEN What do the leaves taste like? Are they like greens or chard or something as far as flavor?
I live in an apartment, and this looks like something I can, do without having almost no space!
Oh yes! I am growing these sweet potatoes! First time ever. I live in southern Arizona where we hit 110 degrees! Perfect. I love sweet potatoes. In Perú (South America I was raised with them!)
Thank you 😊 first time growing four sweet potatoes 🥔 in a 25 gallon pot and trellised the vines...appreciate your advice
Thanks for the sweet potato harvest video. I was waiting for this because I have sweet potatoes planted in a 20 gallon fabric bag. My slips were taking to long so I found some at Lowe’s. I will be harvesting soon. I can’t wait!

Great tips, great harvest!! Will plant my slits tomorrow!! I grew my slits in 3 ways. One sweet potato was in a dark box and it grew slits. One sweet potato 🍠 I cut in half dusted the exposed ends with ash and burn them slightly in a potting mix. One I put in water with half the potato in water, half out. They all grew slits. Thank you for sharing.

Nice ❤ sweet potato ! You know the leaves are very good too can use in soups, stews
Thanks for the info. I am juicing so any leaves I can juice is great.
Just watching this as my partner came home with a sweet potato plant a couple of months ago to try. Not something I've ever considered growing here in the UK but we stuck it in a potato bag (reassured that we did the right thing there!) and kept our fingers crossed. It's doing well - we currently have some flowers (which are really pretty) but we have no idea when to harvest it! So thanks for the video!
Good luck. They are really delicious home grown.

Very helpful Gary. Thank you. Just wondering if there's possibility of growing these indoors during the Autumn/ Winter season?? Starting from slips in Sept/ Oct.
I never have. They prefer hot temps so inside is a bit mild.

So I’ve found your channel, have had 2 organic sweet potatoes in water in front of the window for the last 2 1/2 months- I change the water every 3 to 4 weeks and now I’m going to get rid of the potatoes. Sweet potatoes look bad so and I’ve threw them away. I’ve got more organic sweet potatoes so this time I’m gonna try and the place the sweet potato in a container and see if I’m not able to grow the slips this way. I’ve enjoyed your channel. So here’s hoping for luck, Lol. Thanks
I had some overgrown sweet potatoes on the counter this spring, so I decided to plant the whole things. First time growing some. I'm getting beautiful leaf growth, and it's still warm here in Central TX.. Can't wait to see if I got any more potatoes! Can't remember if I planted them in May or June, but based on your 100 day recommendation, I'll let them go to October and see what we get.
I hope you get some!

What size pot did you use?
Good to know that the roots grow through the pots on a solid surface.
The information I'm trying to find that nobody seems to be providing is how to keep adding potting mix to the pots. I understand that it's about 4 in of potting mix at first. Then the vines grow and you keep filling it in. Do you have to clip off the leaves or just fill in potting Nick's around the vines with the leaves still intact?
One person mentioned that if we harvest the leaves that, that will decrease the harvest. I don't know if that was in regards to the vine in general because it was in the context of discussing the leaves being edible.
I dont for sweet potatoes as I just plant a let them go. I used to do it for potatoes but didnt find much difference.

Okay. I know it is kind of late. I live where the temperatura doesn’t get below 80 until the last week of December. Anyway, I want to get the soil right. I made all this compost from hot compost. 160 degrees. I wanted to incorporate that. And it would be lovely if I didn’t need to buy soil. I don’t want to spend more money than the sweet potatoes are worth. And I and I am using containers because of lack of space. Is there any chance I could use soil from the woods?

Thanks, Gary! I think I’ll try them next year.
Do they need to be cured before storage?
YES, sweet potatoes have to be dried a bit, there is a best temperature and humidity that brings out the best tastes, you can eat them without curing them but I have been told they are not SWEET...
I got some free plastic lattice sheets . Is that good for the vines
I'd love to grow sweet potatoes but I think it's too cold here in the north east of the UK. Great video and the garden looks amazing :)
Thanks so much. The leaves are edible too. Might be good for that
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN oh that's good I didn't know that
Thank you for all your content Gary, and t is really helpful. What does the watering schedule look like for sweet potatoes? I know you say to water with a water soluble fertilizer every 2-3 weeks, but any watering between fertilizing?
It varies as the days get hotter and on the size of the plants. At height of size and heat 3 or 4 times a week. Otherwise 2-3 times a week. less when first dropped.
Please Ring the Bell (next to subscribe) to get immediate real-time video notifications & Please check out The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop for all your gardening needs: www.therustedgarden.com
how often to water when these are growing in a field? do you sell slips?
I dont sell slips. I usually just grow some. Watering varies as here in MD we get a lot of rain. You dont want to water them regularly and quite often when late summer comes.

I'm growing in containers. Vines are going WILD😳 Don't know if I should trim or not. First time grower. Also, theres a HUGE stalk that's growing and seems like its flowing. Is that good? No video talks about that
Can you use raised bed soil? Or is it better to use potting soil?
Raised bed soil is fine. Check out my videos on buying bagged soil. I think they will help a lot.

What about curing the potatoes to sweeten the starch into sugars?
To be honest I eat them withing 2 weeks.
Get your Fall Garden Seeds & Spring Seed Starting Supplies at... Please Visit The Rusted Garden Seed & Garden Shop: www.therustedgarden.com
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN I am told that you must cure them in a warm, humid environment for two weeks, otherwise, they are not as sweet as they should be. Also, I have been told to not water the container for 2 weeks prior to harvest and to never wash the potatoes after extracting them from the medium. I have Okinawan sweet potatoes planted from slips from Baker Creek. I plant to cure them like pumpkins and store them in my pantry for the winter.
Can you grow sweet potatoes with the whole potatoes with roots and some slips in containers or do you have to cut slips and let them root before planting! Thank you

Great video, so excited and motivated to grow sweet potatoes in containers or grow bags I really appreciate the encouragement...is there any particular granular fertilizer you recommend? All the best Long Island NY Zone 7a!
Any type is fine that represents NP and K but if you can find something with lower nitrogen and higher Phosphorous and Potassium that is best. Mixing a handful of bone meal in helps too. I will be going over specific mixes of ferts for containers over the next year.

Do you clip the tips of the vine when they are bout 3-4 weeks old like some other youtubers advice? You also mentioned water every 2-3 weeks or water the plants every days for 2-3 weeks when they are young?
If is said every 2 or 3 weeks that is wrong. 2 or 3 times a week. Less water when they are small, almost daily toward the end in full hot summer days. I dont clip them.

Gary, you said you fill the containers 1/2 way and then plant slips, do you “hill them up” as they start to vine with more soil until container is filled?
Nowadays. I fill them to the top. Its just easier.

Hi Gary! At the beginning of July I found a store bought sweet potato starting to grow on my shelf. I decided to give it a shot and put it in water. The slips grew quickly and they were about 8-9 inches when I planted them in a 3ft grow bag. I planted 4 slips. They had been thriving until about 2 weeks ago. Some of the leaves turned yellow and fell off. Should I try to save them or no point since they were planted so late?
If the temperatures have been dropping, that is why they yellow. When the leaves are gone, harvest and thats all you can do

Just get them out before it freezes. The potatoes won't store long if the vines freeze, my gardening sources tell me. But if you can leave them in for another week or so, surely you'll have potatoes to harvest. good luck! : )
Does anyone know if we can make more potatoes from the vines? 🤔
They can root in but not sure how many potatoes will form in a timely manner.

Can the fabric pots be on a porch or is it better to be on the ground?
They can for sure.

Hi, thanks for the reveal vid. In teh UK many growers don’t use peat anymore as it is not renewable. Does coir work as well?
Coir will work. Anything that loosens the soil. Having Canada next to us, we have peat everywhere.

Does anyone know if I can repot sweet potatoes? I potted 3 slips in a 10g root pouch in April and am thinking that was to small and want to put them in a bigger container would this ruin the harvest? Or damage the crop?
Hi Gary - I'm trying to grow the Okinawa & Kotobuki purple sweet potato. I received the slips today but the biggest fabric pot I have is a 7 gal potato pot, I have some 5 gal ones. Would the 5 gal work? and how many slips should I put in the 7 gal & 5 gal pots? Thanks!
So that is kind of small. 1 or 2 slips is plenty. I do sell 20 and 100 gallons at my shop. They are pretty fairly priced. That is what I will be growing in. With 5 and 7 gallons I would do many of them. You will get sweet potatoes for sure.

Excellent video Gary! Do you know if it is possible to save seeds from a flowering sweet potato? I had quite a few this year but am unsure if they will grow true and if the seed would grow potatoes that are safe? I've searched and searched but cannot find an answer.
Thanks Bryan
You know I just dont know. I never tried it.

Question: I just started to harvest my sweet potatoes. What is the best way to cure my sweet potatoes here in New England? Can’t possibly have 85 degree temps/humidity in October.
So I only leave mine out a few days on the soil and then sit them on my counter indoors for a week or so.

Great video.. I've been successfully growing sweet potatoes in large containers for both greens and potatoes for a few years. So successful that I'm desperately searching for a better system to keep the vines off the ground. Could you please tell me what that wire "ladder" from home depot is called. It may be on your receipt. I can't go into the store so I have searched online and even had someone look for it in the store who was told to find out what it was called. I'm also wondering if you have it bent over at the top or just used two pieces to make a sort of teepee out of it.
Its just called ladder mesh. Its a masonry product and some Home Depots have it by the rebar.

Hi, i want to transfer my sweet potato plants that i have grown for about one month in a bucket, to a bigger container. Because i put 4 plants in the bucket 😅 so i thought they might need more space to grow. By when can i start to transplant them? Is now a good time? Or shall i just leave it in the bucket 🪣 ? It looks like the 10 gallon grow bag that you used in the video. Hope you or anyone could help me, it's my first try 😊. Thank you
I would transfer now. I wouldnt wait any longer. Really try and get as much of the roots as you can.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN oh thank you 😊 i shall do that soon.
I never grew sweet potatoes or Irish potatoes before. I tried growing sweet potatoes last year. The slips were labeled sweet potatoes, but turned out to be red skinned Irish potatoes 🤣. Trying again this year. I grow everything that isn’t in my two small raised beds in Root Pouches. They are fantastic for growing healthy plants. I ordered Vardaman sweet potatoes for their bush-like habit. What variety do you grow?
I am growing all kinds of potatoes this year. Ill detail it in a video.

What about using 7 gal air pruning pots?
What if you plant in only compost?
Edit: those pots I refer to are plastic and resemble huge pineapples.
That should work. Make sure its is fully composted compost.

Did you use drip irrigation on the grow bag?
Nope. All my stuff is by hand. But I may use drip next year.
Please how often do you water it?
Varies too much to say based on plant size and heat. Just have to water regularly.

This is so informative thank you Gary! Do you think the trenching/backfilling method you used with your potatoes before would work here? I.e. - plant the slips near the bottom of a deep container/in a trench, and keep covering the stem as it grows? Do you think that might give a higher yield, like how it did with your potatoes?
You don't need to back fill. It wouldn't add but the trailing vines do root in places and often grow sweet potatoes.

Gary Great info. I think you are putting way too much effort and energy into Japanese Potato. I started from Sweet Potato, make my planting soil as your suggested and buried half potato, waited 6 weeks nothing happened. I almost gave up and dig out potato and threw it away in my Compost bin (no kidding) 2 or 3 weeks later I got vines coming out potatoes from compost basket. I skiped growing vines into water jar. I guess they don't like too much love!
You could replant the vines you pulled out for more potatoes.
I dont know. I but you could root them in water and get them going again.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN "I but you could root them in water and get them going again." -- That's what I meant. They will still root if you just stick them into the soil/ground as long as you keep the soil consistently moist.
I’m going to grow sweet potatoes and regular potatoes in fabric pots next year. I have 10 gallon already and have 15 & 20 gallon in my Amazon cart.
Are may not be cheaper but we do have fabric pots at our shop. 10 gallon worked well as you saw and I will be fertilizing it differently next year. More vids to come.

Love your videos! Do the roots of the sweet potatoes come through the bottom of the fabric bsgs on their own , or do you drill holes in them?
Not really. In a smaller pot the might make it down there. I mostly plant in the 100 gallons fabric pots I sell nowadays.

Can you help me to understand. This spring I bought a sweet potatoes vine plant with my other annuals plants. I saw them on different videos and I liked how nice they look with other annual. I planted my with cannas in pots and they look nice draping down the front of the pot. Today I took my cannas out the pot to store for next spring and to my surprise the sweet potatoes vine came up with them and they had small sweet potatoes in the pot. The sweet potatoes vine, I thought was just a plant with that name, not a sweet potatoes plant for growing sweet potatoes. I'm so confused, why would people put these vine in with annual if they grew sweet potatoes.
So it is related and I my understanding is it grows the same way but you dont really get large tubers. Basically the SPV makes tubers too but not large scale. Now if what you go are pretty larger... not sure what is going on.

So I tend to over plant. 3 or 4 is probably prudent.

@@THERUSTEDGARDEN Thank you.
Other info which I found for year to year. You don't need to start every year from sweet potato to vine and then planting that vine. Just dig out potato like now for this year and plant some of those vines back into soil, they will be ready like in 6 or 7 months (3 months winter and 4 months post winter). I doing this now and will be able to tell next year if this works. Other thing is for those plant sweet potato in soil or in ground. Let these vine stay on ground. They sprout then some of them plant them selves back into soil. Don't dig out whole plant, those very small potatoes which you dig out are starting material for new crop for next year. In ground planting is very low effort and high yield. I guess only thing you need is some water and fertilizer.
6:26 stabbing the sweet potato with the fork is okay?
Not optimal but it happens

Don't like political ads. Will no longer watch.
Wow, Gary doesn't choose what ads are played on his videos, RUclips does.🙄
LOL thats fine but you are just hurting me and not impacting the people that make or promote the ads in anyway FYI, as I dont place the ads or approve them. It is YT. But do what works for you.
at this time of year, there's nothing youtubers can do about the type of ads that come on. Why not stay away from all social media until December, and then you won't have to be bothered by such things. I don't like the amount of non-recyclable political ads that come to my house, but I'm not going to shoot the mailman. lol. He can't help it!
