Are you growing your own slips? Personally I just plant the slips in the ground, water the plant and get out of thier way. As someone said in another thread, roots are nice, but I have never noticed any difference in the long run between a rooted, non rooted slip, or even a vine cutting. Those things are tough. If you are growing your slips, just pull them off the potato when they are six inches or so long and plant them. Note sweet potatoes do better on a slightly elevated list than on flat ground.
