Follow on question. 

The sweet potato is a vine that creeps along the ground,  if space is at a premium, could I grow the vine(s) vertically up mesh instead.  Will it grow as a runner bean.  This question's not covered in the site you were so kind to show me.  Cheers,   Tony.

So basically, you don't want to wigwam or allow the leaves to climb because you'd be stepping on the crop without realizing it as the underground spread can sometimes be wide if you have any hardpan.
