@@ChidavAgriculturalHub thanks Dave. I think what people who are interested in farming yams in sacks must put in mind is regular watering! I never took that seriously when I started 3yrs ago as I didn't usually water the yam in sacks anytime it rained. But now, I know better since last year and tubers were bigger. This year I have decided to plant 2 yam seeds in a bag since I mostly used rice and flower bags.

Someone said the NPK 20,10,10 or 15,15,15 can make yams to turn coloured and lose its taste instead of white. How true is this?
