Have you ever wondered what companion plant to plant with sweet potatoes? Or maybe peppers? This spring I grew some sweet potatoes from slips and planted them in the same bed as some peppers. The are complementing each other as companion plants in the raised bed! The sweet potatoes cover the ground and keep it from getting too hot so that it retains more moisture. Since they use different nutrients for production the complement each other in that regard as well.
You can companion plant sweet potatoes with tomatoes, eggplant, and tomatillos as well. When matching companion plants concentrate on the resources each plant needs. If they will use different resources to grow then they will work together for maximum production.
How to Grow Sweet Potatoes from Slips:
Growing sweet potatoes from slips is easy. Just put a sweet potato in a jar of water and let it sprout. Take off the slips and stick them in the raised bed. They will take off all on their own! I used a grocery store sweet potato.
