The compost from the feed store had some sand mixed in it, the rest was mostly forest type compost. The sweet potatoes seemed to like it.
We did not mist the leaves. I don't think we have much trouble with pests like some regions do.
You can see that there are a few holes in the leaves, they are from that little spotted beetle that looks a little like a yellow ladybug with black spots. I just hand picked them when I saw the.
