that is a great cost cutting idea, using an existing fence to provide support to climbing varieties of food crops. initially i was bamboozled when i read about "sweat " potato, then i saw pic of the sweet potato, cassava plant and it clicked :0
will follow you for further updates. Keep at it
Here I let the invasive and wild blackberries climb my fence, though the weight eventually starts to pull it down. We have very aggressive deer here which will eat anything you try to grow on the accessible side of the fence.
having grown up in valleys of California i have seen what deer can do as well. you are totally right, this wouldn't work where you have hungry ungulates. Here in Hawaii we don't have a deer problem, but we do have a wild pig problem. I expect the pigs to graze on what they can reach of these plantings from the outside of the fence.
That's an interesting way to grow food crops.
A lot of times I notice things in a picture that aren't part of the subject matter, in this case, the nice size rock sitting on top of the wood fence post. That must be a fairly common human urge, I see that a lot, and I do it myself. :-)
