When planting sweet potatoes, develop rows about 3′ apart and 8-12″ high.  Place plants (or slips) 10-18″ apart on top of the row by using a stick or narrow trowel to place the plant. Water in the slip with a solution of Fertilome Blooming & Rooting Fertilizer and firm up soil when done.  Mulch or straw can be used to hold soil in place and retain moisture.
