I’m looking for a cheap LED grow light, but for some reason I have a very specific format in my head for it to be rectangular, rather than the bulb format. If anyone has any products on hand that’d be appreciated 🙏 Right now I’m getting by with a thrifted aerogarden base I hacked to work without the hydroponic portion, but I’d like to expand.
Hello! This is my first post, but I’ve gotten really into gardening lately. I was wondering if it was possible to grow Murasaki sweet potatoes (purple sweet potatoes), which like a slightly warmer climate, in my zone (6b). The website says it’s possible but they seem to prefer climates more in tune to the south. I am about to get the slips within the next week as they were just shipped and I am going to direct seed them. I would also like some general advice on how to raise them healthily. I am planning on starting to mounding them once they’ve gotten to 6-8 inches, but I’m not sure how much I should mound or if I should cover leaf sets. I’m assuming they prefer a little less water to prevent root rot in a sandy loam and full sun so the vines can spread. Also, I’ve heard some people say wait until the plant dies to harvest. Thank you.
