How Deep for Sweet Potatoes?

Published in Gardening 1 min read

Sweet potatoes should be planted 1-2 inches deep, with the pointed end facing up.

This depth allows the roots to develop properly and the shoots to emerge easily.

Here are some additional factors to consider:

  • Soil type: Loamy soil is ideal for sweet potatoes. In sandy soil, you may need to plant slightly deeper.
  • Climate: In warmer climates, you may need to plant slightly shallower.
  • Variety: Some sweet potato varieties may require slightly different planting depths.

Remember: Always check the seed packet or plant tag for specific planting instructions for your chosen variety.
