We made the attempt with Sweet Potatoes last summer harvested them right before thanksgiving. And my garden is on the site of old orange groves. After months of waiting we pulled out about a 5 gallon bucket worth of them. They tasted good. I'm not sure what we did right but they do grow in...

The problem with the two tillers is they're not mine to begin with so they were already beat up. And knowing my uncle and my dad they were probably at least 20+ years old. The electric soil blender is also about 30+ years old (notice no one ever gets rid anything in my family) It has two...
