I hadn't considered large ceramic planters, but it seems like an easy way to increase my growing space. Potatoes were a lot of fun to grow, so maybe I will try sweet potatoes as well. RE: John Keane

If you like sweet potatoes they are super easy to grow I dedicated 2 22inch ceramic planters and a large tree container a nursery gave me to sweet potatoes. I havested about 35 potatoes some over 4 inches in diameter. They are viney decorative plants as well. I like the blog by the way. If I had one my intrests would pretty much be subtitled the same way good luck. I may have to try out your raised bed design for adding levels i like that. I have 5 raised beds and a large inground area that I will probably convert to raised at some point.

It almost filled a single large paper grocery bag. I think we would have gotten even more if we buried the potatoes more aggressively as the plants grew. It only got to a little over 1 foot deep this season. I got about 30 pounds of potatoes. It almost filled a single large paper grocery bag.
