I want to start next year but it's very rocky ground where I am. But I have access to plenty of manure. I suppose yams and sweet potatoes are impossible in the states?
You can grow sweet potatoes. Not yams. Where I grew my potatoes was very rocky dry ground.
Lotta prep work?
Not really because we have tractors about 3-4 hours tilling each -(baseball size field) added bags of fertilizer to the ground, added hay to keep ground cool. We set up a drip watering system, with fish guts in the tank. Next year we will be hauling in chicken crap to revitalize the soil and add nitrates.
You can grow potatoes in car tires, don’t let it stop you. Two years ago I started with just one tire for the hell of it and I’m up to 5 this year ha! It’s addicting and easy. Also don’t sleep on the garlic
