still might be restrictive, you want a bit of earth for the vine to set little roots into the ground which can become other sweet potatoes…

find a spot where you might want to have a bed later, and the sweet potatoes can break up the soil for you as they grow.

I threw a couple of sweet spuds in a brocolli box. They grew out the bottom. They were under some trees. So i pulled them out and got a feed. The roots stayed in the earth and are growing again. More sweet spuds. A broc box will work but they need to be well fed and watered. Esp if in full sun. Some shade is best.
