20 plates of show potatoes
I bought T&M slips this year. I did not take the growing tips out because T&M do not tell you to. Hence the crop was ok but totally not cost effective. I currently have 1 of my own sweet potatoes in a glass producing 10 plus slips. I intend to give it a whirl by buying some from the supermarket and try to produce with those. Not wishing to drop names but I have looked at all the supermarkets to see which is best and concluded that Sainsburys have the most choice. No I don't work for Sainsburys as I have just retired from Asda. They may or may not grow only a couple of quid lost but certainly to purchase slips is not cost effective but they did taste delicious.

I think part of the issue is if (and maybe it is commonplace??) tubers are treated to stop then sprouting - that makes supermarket ones much harder to get to sprout, so I would expect you to have much more success with you home-saved one :)
