Put down newspaper instead of that AWFUL black fabric stuff. The newspaper prevents weed seeds from germinating and kills any already there, but unlike fabric, it will decompose after about 18 months. It’s green, it’s cheap, and when you decide to redesign the bed later on, you will not have the headache you would with fabric.

vogelJoy We should do this! We eat SO Many Sweet Potatoes! :)

(Haven't tried this yet): A website that plans your garden for you. You tell it where you live, it tells you what to plant and when, designs your garden for you, and gives you daily reminders of what to do.

(I wish I understood exactly how to do this -- whoever wrote the instructions doesn't seem to be a native English-speaker...). Multiply your store bought sweet potatoes - place 1 sweet potatoes in a bucket of moist soil. As slips (shouts) appear, pull out place them six at a time into 20 gallon buckets. Wait 4 months, dump bucket, get 3 to 4 gallons of organic homegrown sweet potatoes per bucket.
