Stealth planting is something that I am learning about. People think you have to care for your plants most tenderly and if you want the best yield that is true. But a half dozen untended 8x8 potato patches scattered hither and thither will feed you.

Sweet potatoes are even better but in my climate sweet potatoes do not do very well. In the warmer climates though sweet potatoes have all the advantages and none of the disadvantages of potatoes.

The thing about onions and turnips is that although they are root veggies, they do not grow completely underground. They are about half way above ground, so theoretically, even if you don’t have really good dirt, you should still be able to get a decent crop.
