Hi all,
I managed to successfully grow some small sweet potatoes last year using the scrap of sunlight I get on my balcony, but this season something has happened to severely stunt growth and deform the leaves.
Does anyone know what this is? I'm not having a huge amount of success locating possible causes. I thought at first it could have been a soil deficiency but various types of fertilisers haven't made a difference (although some promoted more growth, but it was all still deformed). I tried planting other slips in different root pouches and they started off well but then the same thing happened to them, so it looks like it could be some sort of airborne disease that's affecting them.
I've included some photos of the leaf damage. Has anyone seen this before?
