Growing Sweet Potato, also Kumara

View the Sweet Potato page

31 Jan 25 Kieron McPherson (Australia - tropical climate)
Hello there in 2023 I bought 2 sweet potato pots from bunnings and we planted in our avocado orchard and just let it run wild for a few months, when it came time to harvest I got 100kg of sweet potatoes my question is why do you say- They will go for miles and you will get no tubers. Was I just lucky or is there more to it than that?
