Hi,
I'd like to use sweet potatos as a soil conditioner, in my garden.
Has anybody had any experience about using them to share?
Cheers

I know lots of people who use sweet potato as ground cover in the tropics. I use them to keep soil cool and microorganisms active. The leaves provide organic matter and the potatoes are great at opening up the soil and providing food for micro-organisms and worms, as well as humans.
