- Our BEST Sweet Potato CONTAINER Growing Harvest EVER! | how to grow sweet potatoes | Harvest 2020 | Guten Yardening
YES!! Sweet Potato Harvest 2020 continues... We are ready to harvest sweet potatoes that we grew in black food grade plastic containers.
Our diversified methods of growing sweet potatoes is really paying off! We have already harvest from raised beds hay bales, and now we are ready to harvest sweet potatoes that we grew in black food grade plastic containers. Sweet potatoes growing in containers maybe be one of our favorite new methods!
We grew 5 different varieties of sweet potatoes in these containers, Beauregard, Hannah, Japanese Red, Georgia Jet, and Purple Passion. Each of these varieties has a different shape, test, and style of growing. Some varieties we will for sure grow again, and some we will likely only grow in a raised bed in the future.
We propagated the Hannah and Japanese Red varieties from organic, store bought sweet potatoes, and the rest we purchased as slips online.
One of the best parts about growing in containers is the ease of harvest. We are able to simply remove the foliage and flip the containers, and the results of our container experiment speak for themselves.
Another benefit of this style is you can really vary the size of your container garden to fit the space you have.
We think you are going to enjoy the harvest, and hopefully be inspired to try this growing method on your own.
Thank you for watching!

I like how you gave a "Hook". As a teacher we call this the Anticipatory Set. You showed a quick 5 second clip of what you harvested. Then I wanted to watch your video..THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK U!. THIS IS A WINNING COMBO. Take it from a veteran teacher of 20 years and a MEd.
Thank you so much! I just hit year 16 of teaching, and I know my students enjoy that for sure. :) I really appreciate your recent comments and engagement with our videos!
Good sharing very nice 👍👍🌺🌺
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed that harvest a lot (and are still enjoying the results).
Keep on sharing my friend, stay safe..
Thank you very much. We will do just that. You stay safe as well.
You were right my friend! Worth the wait! I love that tater that conformed to the container!
Yes, we do want to know your secrets!
We are going to do a summary video in the near future about what we have learned so far. :) Yes, I love how these vegetables fit where they lie. Pretty great to see. Thank you so much for watching!
Quote some of them on salt, black pepper and?butter and bake until its tender or make some Sweet potato pudding, yummy. Really nice harvest.
Love, love, love baked sweet potato! Will definitely have to look into sweet potato pudding. :)
I never missed one video of yours,the food you made for your family looks very delicious and healthy,you are blessed to have an extraordinary talent,thanks for sharing your life with us
Wow bumper harvest
We were very happy with this one for sure!
Thank you for. Sharing,,I just learn something very emporten, I can raise all my plants i will ever need, for planting my next year planting.thanks for sharing, god bless.
Wowwwww...lovely organic sweet potatoes! Some of them we so long!!!
Each variety definitely has its own unique characteristics, but for sure, we do know how to grow long sweet potatoes, lol! I know you do a great job with growing in containers. And I know you planted potatoes, but are there any sweet potatoes in your future?
@@GutenGardening definitely! It's on my list of things to try. Hopefully will do my first potato reveal in a couple of weeks time! So excited!
That is great and so exciting! I remember when the potatoes went in the ground for you. We hope you get a fantastic harvest!
Great channel! North coast organic sent me!
Thank you very much for coming over. We appreciate North Coast Organic and his shout out. We hope you continue to enjoy!
@@GutenGardening I will! I've just started to garden and I need all the help and advice I can get!!
We are happy to help. :)
Love love loved this video
Thank you so much!
OK… This was over the top wonderful!!!
This is a fabulous way to grow sweet potatoes! And I adored those funny shaped ones!
Thanks so much! 😊We love the varieties.
Thanks so much. Growing in Florida allows me to grow sweet potatoes year round. All in large and small bins. If I see one sticking out I gently dig down and if it meets my approval, I pick it. haha. I reach down for others in that bin but if none appear... I add more soil and let them keep growing. My dog and I have to eat all of these abundant potatoes. Grow Like weeds really.
Eat those leaves. They are awesome tasting greens and you can stir fry the stems of the leaves and the vines. The stir fried stems reminds me of green beans and the leaves taste alot like spinach and have more of a collard chewiness.
Such a good harvest. Thanks for sharing. Let's grow together. Hoping I will also enjoy a good sweet potato harvest
Thank you very much for enjoying! When will you harvest yours?
Good day Sharing my support
Im a new friend here now
See you at my Home. wishing you success and more additional true friends to come
God Bless Us Always.
Thank you for stopping by! We hope you enjoyed the video.
Just amazing. I am expanding this year. I have about 20 containers just like yours. I planted about 3 dozen slips in ground. I am so excited that I have a good chance to grow sweets like you. I eat 3-4 sweets a day, I hope I get lots also. Thanks for sharing.
That is phenomenal. I am sure you are going to have a great harvest in the near future. We absolutely love our sweet potatoes as well. Do you have a favorite variety?
What size are these containers?
holy crow those are massive !!
We really enjoyed this harvest, and are going to be enjoying the end product for a good few months, I think. :) Thank you for watching, and we hope all is well for both of you.
This is a great video !
Thank you so much! We are loving these harvests for sure. :). We hope you enjoy the channel, and have a wonderful evening!
Hey Guten
You are the guy to watch when it comes to growing potatoes ...
Love your information ... successes, and transparency
Thank you s much ... appreciate your content
We have definitely worked hard on those crops this year, and I think we have been able to harvest some of those benefits. We really appreciate all of your support to our channel. :)
Great Harvest! I love Sweet Potato harvests. I know I keep saying it but is true!
Sweet potatoes are so great to harvest, and we were really blessed with the number we were able to harvest this year. Thank you for watching!
How are you storing them?
We have them in a room in our basement that stays about 60 degrees all winter. Last year they lasted until about April that way. They are payed out single layer.
Great job on the sweet potato harvest. You guys are rocking it with all the veggies!
Take care and stay safe,
Rob
Thank you so much! The time spent planting this season was well worth it, and we are excited to enjoy these in the months to come. Have a great day!
155 keep sharing
Thank you very much for enjoying the video! We hope you enjoy the channel!
That harvest was awesome, can you share details about the soil you had in the containers? We plan to do something very similar with our 20 gal tubs next year.
Thank you so much! We absolutely can share what we did. We actually made a video about everything in our soil a few months ago, and the soil has been fantastic for us so far. If you would like to check it out, it is here: ruclips.net/video/7XPXEeC4goY/видео.html&ab_channel=GutenYardening
Wow you can make potatoes candy with the thick roots. Amazing :-):-):-)
Ooh, potato candy? Tell me more? Do you have a favorite recipe?
Some very sweet sweet potatoes there. Awesome harvest.
the small ones, they call them fingerlings I believe, they're still good enough to eat.
When you've successfully grown so many I suppose you can be philosophical about the vole damage.
Good tip about the black container.
Solid gold harvest!
44LB awesome!!!!
All the best
Steve
We would love to not have to deal with voles at all, but we will be on top of that this next season. We definitely are eating all shapes and sizes of sweet potatoes. :) Making lots of fries this year! Thank you for watching!
Wow I like potato sweet. Lover eat. Wooowww
Thank you so much! :) We are glad you enjoyed the video!
Wow nice hello sir new friend watching from NCR manila Philippines
Thank you so much for enjoying the video with us. Are you growing Sweet Potatoes there?
Lol great harvest, it's just as well you like eating them 😁
You aren't kidding! :) We definitely will eat these all up. Thank you for watching!
Great harvest!!
Thank you so much! We still have a few left that we are enjoying, and we are getting really close to planting again for this season! Thank you so much for watching! Do you grow your own?
Hello from fellow homesteaders and RUclipsrs 👋🏼 We’re planning on growing potatoes next year...container planting looks like the way to go...no worries of stabbing them 👍🏼 Nice root crop, thanks for sharing!
We really had good luck in containers this year, and I think for sweet potatoes that is the way to go. That or raised beds. We have found the greatest success in those two methods. Best of luck with your planting. What zone are you in?
i will plant sweet patato too
Excellent! They are our favorite food crop, and they really add to our overall yearly production. I am sure you can grow many yourself. :)
Nice video again love 💘❤watching
Every sweet potatoes 🥔harvest
Awesome 👌🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭
Thank you so much! We just released our latest raised bed sweet potato harvest today, and those results were so good as well. :) There is nothing like a good sweet potato harvest.
Hardware clot on the top of your containers would stop the voles
We have definitely talked about trying that out next year! Thank you for the advice. :) Have a wonderful day!
This is spectacular wow wow wow I have to try this all next year for sure . Thanks for the inspiration
Thank you so much for watching! We were very please with this harvest. And, we still have more to come. :)
It's so funny!
Thank you!
Please give basic information, like size of container in litres, and the amount of slips planted in each container etc
Hello Barrington, these are 19 gallon containers or 72 liters, and these containers had 3 slips in each. And at the end of the video, we talk about the different varieties we planted. Thank you for watching! :)
Another nice harvest, that's a great harvest for the year!
We really loved this harvest. After a while they add up, and we are hoping to pull a few more out of the ground soon.
Awesome harvesting love it 😍 beautiful looking ones 😍😍12th👍🏻done my dearest Fam. Love from here Have a blessed weekend 😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️💪🏼
Tha k you so much. Yes, we were so happy with the way these containers worked out for us. Let the sweet potato consumption begin. :)
Sweet harvest!🙂
Thank you very much! We are still eating off of this one. Our containers were our best producers this year. Are you growing sweet potatoes as well?
@@GutenGardening I grew them for the first time last year and got a few; however, I've been studying since (folks like you) and expect to do much better this year. I'm in zone 8a - Central Texas.🙂
I didn't know voles could get into containers.
We think they are using the vines to climb up in. Really, I think this will be our big fight next season. :) Thank you for watching!
Fantastic harvest I will grow several varieties next year. I am growing the Japanese red sweet potato. Grow some each year. Enjoyed your enthusiasm.
Wonderful!! Congratulations! I bet you are already thinking about next year 😂 True gardner!
Next year is always on our mind for sure. :) But we also have to get prepped for the winter season. So much to grow, so much to do. Thank you so much for watching.
What an amazing harvest! Your potato harvest is awesome!😊
Thank you! Only one harvest to go. :)
@@GutenGardening Wow! You already have 48 was it pounds? That’s an awesome harvest in itself.
AWESOME!🌻
Thank you so much!
Great looking tater tubs, those are some good looking sweet potatoes.
Thank you Matt! We were very happy with how these turned out. It makes us want to grow even more in containers next season, so I think we will do just that. Do you have a preferred way to grow sweet potatoes?
Which variety produced the most? Mine did not grow that big.....
Great question! Hannah did great for us this year, as did Georgia Jet. Really, we were please with almost every variety. Purple passion is a personal favorite. :) Which variety did you plant?
Great job. This year I'll be planting my first sweet potatoes.
Excellent! We grow them in a lot of different ways (raised beds, containers, hay, etc.) How are you planning to plant them this year?
Great harvest! I’m planting Georgia Jet as a first time grower this year and totally inspired by your results. Thanks.
Thank you! The Georgia Jet are so delicious. We are excited to see if we can improve on the harvest even further this season, but best of luck! We absolutely love our sweet potatoes! Have a wonderful weekend!
That's a great harvest! I'm definitely trying next year!
I did get one big fella out of my ornamental sweet potato.... but I'm just gonna... plant it somewhere else, haha.
Reuse reuse reuse :) The cycle of gardening! You should post a picture on twitter. :)
Looking at you harvesting these sweet potatoes from these containers is very amazing. Your soil looks very loose and some of the different varieties did better than others. I think it is a great learning experience for all to watch!,🙏🙏👍👍
So excited watching you harvest these beauties! I have a tub of them growing (first time) and hope for results like you are showing!
Thank you so much for watching! We are really excited to harvest this year's sweet potatoes before too long. I wish you all the best with your harvest, and if you remember, we would love to hear how it turns out for you when you do your harvest. :)
wish you and your family ❤❤
Happy New Year ❤❤
Thank you so much, and we wish you and yours the same!
Wow!! great harvest.how I wish I can that
It takes some hard work at the start, but the patience and careful tending really pays off in the long run. These sweet potatoes are still feeding our family. :) Thank you so much for watching!
That is some of the gratest seed potatoes I have ever seen.dont get me wrong, they are good for pies or for what ever dise you want, but grate for seed sweetpotatoes.
I got 35 pounds of sweet potatoes from a single Murasaki sweet potato slip. The vine took over 40 sq. ft. of my garden, crowding out some of my melons and cucumbers.
Like a carrot long sweet potatoes
Yep! These were really tasty.
That's an impressive harvest.
I threw some slips in the ground last year that I'd grown to see how easy it was. It was far too late in the season but I still got a small harvest out of them despite the ground being compacted, them only getting watered once or twice by accident, and being overrun with weeds.
Considering how well they grew with complete neglect, I'm going to see how big I can get them this year now that it is nearing the end of the spring weather here.
Wow, you did good!! I had to take mine out after coming back from my trip. They didn't get watered much while I was gone. They were real small, but...if they had the time to grow I would've had a bunch of them. : ) It was an experiment, though, as I planted the slips late.
That is exactly what happened with the sweet potatoes we planted late. An experiment that we likely will not repeat next year, and may do more carrots instead of late slips. They really need that nice, warm soil for sure.
@@GutenGardening - Yeah, I knew it was late but I wanted to try anyway. I can still eat the skinny little buggers.
Exactly! They are still delicious! :)
🥳
Our best container harvest to date! Let's hope for a better one this season.
Racumin put in can to the back one in every sack on the top60 days after plant
I had not heard of racumin before. Very interesting.
This is awesome, You get so many of them, How do you use all of them, do you conserve them somehow so that they last till next year? All the best, new sub&like.
Hello! Great question! We cure them for a few weeks and then store them in a room that is around 60 degrees all winter, so they last for months, and we have a ton of different recipes we use them in. They are definitely a staple in our house. Have you grown them before?
This is great, Im trying a slip right now with my deep purple organic sweet tator cut in half🍠 but, after a few weeks nothing growing yet, just some white haze at the very bottom of it 😟so what’s going on with that? I’m wondering with no help at my age will I be able to lift those buckets 🪣 all alone. God bless, please answer Thank you 🙏
Have you tried using a mesh screen on bottom of pots? For the voles?
We were actually just discussing what we could put on both the bottoms and the tops of the pots, in terms of mesh for next year. Is that something you have tried?
Yes and if worked very well
Fantastic! We will have to give it a go. Thank you for the advice!
Healthy harvest! I wish you’d let us know what size container you use and what method you used. Thanks.
Outstanding video and amazing results! I tried growing sweet potatoes for the first time - in Georgia Red Clay mixed with mulch - EPIC fail. What size containers did you use and what type of soil did you use?
Clay can be rough for those sweet potatoes, even though it is nutrient dense, they struggle to grow to the size you want. These containers are 18 gallons, and the soil we use is a mix of peat moss, sand, topsoil, compost, and then nutrients. We have a video of how we make the mix ourselves if you are interested here: ruclips.net/video/7XPXEeC4goY/видео.html We hope you continue to enjoy the channel, and let us know if you have any other questions we can help with.
That old mean vole or mouse damage stinks. Other than that, great harvest!
Now, we have seen a few of those voles out there, and so they know they have some explaining to do next season. :D Thank you so much for watching! Are you growing sweet potatoes?
Guten Yardening , yes, I did in a row in my garden. Planted them sort of later than I should have but they still did ok. Next year I will definitely plant earlier. Thankfully no vole or rodent damage.
The no vole/rodent damage is huge, and we definitely learned our lesson in terms of planting some a little late. Definitely want that longer time in the warm soil. Have a wonderful day!
@@GutenGardening I would cover the containers with a mesh and maybe plug the largest hole you have. The plants will still grow but the critters can’t get in.
What a great harvest!!
1. If they need so much depth, and space, why stick to containers?
2. What sort of ambient temperature(s) do they need?
Great questions as always!
1. For the Japanese red, I don't think we will stick with the containers, but for the others, the containers are so mobile and easy to work with and harvest and care for, it seems like they are a quick way to add growing potential when you have limited space like we do.
2. Sweet potatoes will grow in ambient temps of 18-35c but definitely prefer the warmer side for best growth.
That is a huge harvest. Did you use potato seed or just market potato?
We used both sweet potato slips that we purchased as well as slips that we propagated ourselves from organic store bought potatoes. Both turned out well for us. :) Do you grow sweet potatoes this way?
Nice work! How many slips do you put in each container?
Thank you so much! We usually put three slips in each container, and that seems to fill them up nicely. :)
@@GutenGardening Thank you!
What would you say would be best suited for container and how many in a container. I have containers that size.
Can you share where you got those black plastic buckets and what size they are? Thanks so much!
Amazing harvest!! Which is Your favorite variety?
Thank you! That is a hard question! :D :D We really like the purple passion, but I personally like the flavor of the Hannah sweet potatoes. How about you?
@@GutenGardening I’ve only had the regular orange fleshed store sweet potato and now the purple/reddish skinned white fleshed from the store they call boniato. I’m not able to order seed potatoes so I just grow from store bought and right now prefer the white fleshed boniato. No clue of the actually variety name.
Man this just gets more epic. How many pounds total out of your whole harvest?
So far, we are at about 160 lbs. :) Not too shabby for such a small space, huh? :)
@@GutenGardening Yeah, that's pretty amazing for your backyard garden! Proves you can grow your own food if you put your mind to it.
Hello, I have some sweet potatoes in water wating for slips, but I don't see any thing as yet. How long does it take or can I just put the sweet potatoes in my grow bag?
Hello!! I seen you on Hickorycroft Farms LIve tonight. LOVE the potato harvest. I got an OK harvest of sweet potatoes this year. I think I will do them in containers this year. WOW
Hello! We enjoyed talking/chatting with you all last night. We really found the containers to be a great method this year, and we are going to add to them for next season. How did you plant yours this time around?
@@GutenGardening I put my slips in straight into the ground. The return was not very good for the amount of slips. I am thinking I need to try a different variety
Oh interesting. What variety did you grow? We went out of our way to try a wide variety to see which performed the best. And that is one of the benefits of container growing for these. We don't have to worry about soil compaction because of the mix we made.
@@GutenGardening I got Beauregard because that was what the local feed and seed store had. I will look for other varieties for the up coming year. I will try this Beauregard again in a pot and see if I get a better return. I did plant in 2 different areas of the yard one was more packed and the other was super fluffy and well composted in. Thanks for your help.
Hello, are you in the Chicago area? I don’t really know what zone 5 means... also, how did you make sure the sweet potato containers were kept warm? Here, we see farmers growing sweet potatoes in hoop houses to get decent yields.
Hello CW, we are actually a few hours north of the Chicago area, so probably slightly cooler weather than you overall. That being said, we use black containers to help with the heat, and we try our best to give them the longest growing season. We also put some straw on top, but really, beyond that, we just keep them in sunny areas. So far, we have been pleased with the results.
What size containers did you use and what is the planting mix? Thanks!
Thank you for asking! These are 18 or 19 gallon containers (there are a few different ones there), and here is one of the mixes we use: ruclips.net/video/7XPXEeC4goY/видео.html
Hello! Was it you that did a video of planting sweet potatoes in containers. Start with a thin layer of soil on the bottom, let the vine grow, bury the vine with soil, let it grow, bury it, etc until the pot is completely full of soil? I’m trying to find who made that video! Thanks!
Hello Julius, we didn't do that video, but we have show how we plant ours in raised beds in this video: ruclips.net/video/c2NQHOFWKiI/видео.html&ab_channel=GutenYardening
I will say, that method would work just fine, since you are trying to get those nodes under the soil to sprout, but you would need a longer growing season for them to produce well. I hope that helps. :)
@@GutenGardening Thanks. I have these 25 gallon pots and I’m worried that if I plant sweet potatoes at the top it won’t develop sweet potatoes throughout the entire pot. The length of the growing season doesn’t matter to me because I can grow year-round in Florida.
Did you state how many slips you planted per container? (I've been on the hunt for the answer!)
We put 3 per container. The basic rule of thumb is between 1-3 pounds per slip. :)
We are going to plant our Japanese Sweet Potato Slips in 25 gallon Wicking Tubs. What are Your thoughts about using Wicking Tubs for these Potstoes?
What kind of soil mix are you using to grow sweet potatoes in the container?
The mix is a base of coco coir, peat moss, and a little of our native soil. We then add some vermiculite and perlite and then fertilize it.
What size is that container?
How many plants did you put in each container? Or did i miss that part? Thanks
Hello River, most containers had 3 slips in them. :) Thank you so much for asking! Do you have a particular variety you like the best?
@@GutenGardening Thanks so much for the response. Im a first time gardener and am trying to soak up as much information as I can.
We love our sweet potatoes, so feel free to browse around out channel to see if there are any other videos that might help you out with planting, etc., and we can also try to answer any questions you might have. Best of luck as you start out! :)
How long did you grow them?
Great harvest! where did you purchase your containers from? Thanks
Thank you! These containers came from Menards. I am not sure if they in stock there right now. They were only $7. The ones that I can find on amazon (amzn.to/3hKIv5y) are a good bit more expensive. Hopefully they come back in stock soon!
@@GutenGardening Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your videos on sweet potatoes they are very helpful.
What is vole damage? What causes it and is it dangerous to your harvest? Can you still eat the potato? Is it only sweet potato to have vole damage? Whew!! That was a lot of questions. Sorry. This will be my first year trying to grow potatoes.
Voles are small rodents that can cause damage to plants by eating the roots, stems, and tubers. In the case of potato or sweet potato plants, they can damage the tubers or sweet potato roots, which can drastically reduce the yield. We typically do not eat the produce if there is extensive damage, but some people have reported that it is safe to eat if you cut off the damaged portions. To minimize vole damage, you can try planting your potatoes or sweet potatoes in raised beds or containers and using wire mesh to protect the tubers or roots. We are still working on finding the most effective methods to minimize the damage, as this is an ongoing problem for us. Check out our playlist on growing potatoes and sweet potatoes for more details: ruclips.net/p/PLsn7KlzRQJp5--8sAOo3aYtvJxEfLWcJp
hello.. I just saw your first container and ask one thing. why the color of sweet potatos is different in one container? have same quality or lack of some nutrients? what's the reason?
Great question! The difference in color is because we planted multiple varieties in each one. Overall, we planted about 7 different varieties of sweet potatoes this past season, and each has a unique color (both inside and out). If you continue watching, you will see that some are white/tan, some red, some orange, and some purple. Each has their own unique taste as well. :) Do you grow your own sweet potatoes?
@@GutenGardening not yet. Just interested in growing sweet potato now.
It is at the top of our favorites list for vegetables to grow. We have done several videos on harvests and slip propagation, etc. They are so tasty and have a fantastic shelf life.
@@GutenGardening thanks and great.
Absolutely! Have a great evening!
Niceee... Where u from?
We are glad you enjoyed our sweet potato harvest video. We are located in grow zone 5, Wisconsin USA. Where are you watching from? Thank you for your visit.
@@GutenGardening ooh.. Wisconsin yah... My frend from Indonesia there.... Yes, iam farmer too.... Like and love the plant grow. Greeting from Indonesia.
@@khadijahmcdonald27 Welcome! Beautiful Indonesia! We have been to Singapore but not Indonesia. We hope to be able to travel there one of these days. Is your friend that is here in Wisconsin also a farmer?
@@GutenGardening my friend in wisconsin as wife's a man from U SA
Wow...very nice. How big is your container...gallon size? How many slip per container? Thanks.
Thank you so much! These are 19 gallon containers, and we put either 3 or 5 slips in them depending on variety. We were really happy with this harvest, but we are going to try for even more this year. :D Are you growing your own in containers?
@@GutenGardening Yes...right now,I have about 15 to 20 slips...should be ready in couple of weeks. I plan to experiment with planting some in different area and method...just to see which will be better yield regards to size& quantity. One thing I have not seen yet is planting 1 slip in a big gallon container..just to see what it will do...lol...love the mystery of nature...so EXCITING... Its like hunting for treasure except with SP's, its guaranteed you will get something:))
Agreed completely! Sweet potato treasure. I think getting a yield of about 3lbs for each slip is a good goal for sweet potatoes, but like you said, we have never tried a single slip in a large container, so we would also be interested in seeing what the results of that would look like. :)
Watching from Florida new here great video i just stated planting sweet potato my first try.
Another amazing harvest! How many pounds have you collected? Which kind would you say grew best in all situations? If you were to only choose one kind what would it be type of question.
That is a tough question. :) We love varieties so much, lol. Maybe the Hannah because of overall production, but the Purple Passion are really awesome too. Georgia Jet did great as well. So many options. :)
Our voles are rats they love sweet potao but rice with racumin more
Oh interesting. I am thinking that your rats are probably bigger than the voles.
This is awesome. Full stop. But. Youll do muchly better in the raised bedz
We grow in both, and you are right, we have certainly had success in both! :)
