Silly question - but can you put sweet potato in the same bed as your new potatoes and other potatoes? Or is it best to split them up in case of disease?

Sorry but sweet potatoes are a whole different thing -you need to grow them under cover for any chance of a crop.

As I recall you can buy `slips`(ready sprouted ones?) from specialist suppliers-but it sounds more like a fun thing to try rather than for a serious crop.

could be completely wrong but I`m pretty sure I am correct.

Hugh_Jones:
You`re quite right Stephan.  As a crop it`s about as useful as trying to grow bananas or pineapples.

If you read these messages please please do not feel embarassed, you asked a question in good faith.

Hugh_Jones:
And we`re both simply trying to save you the frustration of seeing your efforts wasted.

We`re both of us quite nice fellers really.
