Is frost really all you have to worry about? I thought the ground had to be quite warm, also. Not so?'
-Allan in WV, who, judging by his small sweet potato yields, is no expert at sweet potato farming
All the sweet potato farms in NJ grow their own slips. Roughly a bushel of potatos yields 1000 slips. Potatoes are pre sprouted in a hot humid room then cut and planted outside April first into raised beds filled with fresh pure sand and cutting are covered with 3" layer of sand then bed is covered with clear plastic. Some farmers grow them in heated tunnels. Slips are ready to plant in the field after frost date... Bob.
