Which fill material has worked best for your sack-grown yams and why? I'm eager to compare experiences.

Absolutely! I found compost blended with loamy soil gives the best texture and moisture balance for healthy yam vines.

Interesting guide, but I wonder if biochar really boosts yam yield as much as enriched soil or poultry manure.

Light-blue polythene sounds convenient, but won't it tear easily under yam weight compared to sturdier cement bags?

Try mixing equal parts enriched soil and biochar, then top up with poultry manure every month for improved drainage and nutrient release.
