Hi, Jodie,
We have not attempted to grow sweet potatoes in a container or in the ground for that matter. Sweets are not related to white, or "Irish" potatoes. They are native to tropical Central and South America and need a lot of heat (not guaranteed here in New Hampshire). Sweets prefer sandy soil that must be kept moist, esp in the first 2 to 3 weeks after planting. They have an extensive root system that would be inhibited by a container. We hope this helps!
