g'day emilie,

"emilie pointed out,
Sweet potato plants cover an amazing area of ground and make a good
ground cover."

they don't need to be let ramble all over the place they can be kept
trimmed back or like we do just pull the runners back over the top of
the central plant and keep it tidy that way. by pruning back you can
be creating growing slips continually if so desired, just stick the
slips in water until they root or direct plant.

also they will grow in shaded places and still produce, they are a
fairly versatile plant.

not to foget the young growing tips and leaves can be eaten just wilt
them and eat like spinach/silverbeet.
