Sweet Potato Collars

I put collars around each sweet potato plant to keep waterings from running down the raised ridge. The collars are basically the top 3” of a one gallon pot that I cut off. It works really well especially in that critical first week or two when the slips have been planted and need to be kept moist.

They do the same for new tree plantings.

You can't argue with a closed mind.
You might as well be arguing with a cat.
