Botanical family
Convolvulaceae
1 plants
The bindweed family. The sweet potato lives here — heat-demanding, in temperate raised beds only under fleece or in a greenhouse. Long growing time (4-5 months).
Crop rotation
For Convolvulaceae: rotate the spot every 1-2 years; don't follow with the same family the next year. Legumes (beans, peas) are a safe predecessor in most cases.
Nutrient distribution
How many plants in this family are how hungry for nutrients. Raised-bed soil exhausts quickly after heavy feeders — follow with nitrogen-fixers.
