OK so I am finally updating my blog again.

This is an example of building a raised bed & transplanting sweet potatoes.

Michelle helped me build and plant this bed in August.

We started with this weedy broken down bed and set strings at the proper width for the bed and then placed the dirt outside the string back on top of the bed.

Then you spread the dirt, pack it down and the you end up with this beautiful bed.

To plant the sweet potato we took cuttings from the terminal ends of the sweet potato vines and stuck them in the ground.

Last but not least we put down new paper and mulch to keep the weeds down.

Here are our cuttings a couple of weeks later. Now they have filled the bed and are spilling over into the beds on either side of them.
