This will cause them to start rotting. Also, burlap sacks work great. Lotsa holes for air and drainage.

For sweet potatoes, start them in an old Mason jar and water, toothpicks in the sides to hold it half out of the water. When the vines are 3-4 inches long pull them out of the potatoe and place in water. Allow a week or so for small roots to start then transplant into barrel or ground. Water well in very good drained soil mound dirt up over stem as it grows. Once the plant dies out dig your potatoes.

2 don’t keep your potatoes for seed, diseases in potatoes spread that way. Ie potatoe blight. Seed potatoes are cheap start fresh every spring
3 gardening is fun and a grand experiment try everything anything you want! That’s what makes it fun what’s the worse that can happen?

I wonder if it will work. Going to get the seed potatoes this weekend. Maybe I’ll cut the door with my sawzall :) .
