Very nice sweet potatoes awesome videos. Thks for sharing.
It is always a blessing stopping by your page. Great harvest nonetheless 👏
You got a good harvest....wonderful!
I just love you guy's grateful attitude. You will definitely continue to be blessed! Thanks for sharing 💜
Good job keep up the good work
Save the big ones and see if you can get slips out of them. Love the positive attitude. Overall not a bad harvest.
It was not bad at all.
I hear that laying wood chips over your plants produces an abundant harvest. I saw this on a UA-cam video - Planting Sweet Potatoes in Wood Chips.
Blessings to you and your family, may YHVH continue to give you increase from above. Shalom!
Good harvest anyway. Yall were still blessed and you were thankful. God bless.
So thankful that the piles were not reversed and more eaten than not! Love that you all give praise in the good and the bad...in all things giving thanks :) It's quite amazing that those slips produce some great food, it's practically free!
Nice
@@aidagonzalez8360 good night sir can I get some of the seeds please I am from trelawny
APTTMHY, Hopefully There are no moles where near sandersville where we are starting our homestead. Beautiful harvest!
You are are a blessing! God will continue to provide!
All Praises to the Most High.
I had a vole which move into abandoned mole holes. It looks like a mouse. I got these solar things that send off a vibration they don't like. At first I thought it didn't work. Then I realized they evacuated the area but the squirrels still did some damage. I agree with your wife, be grateful for this being the only serious pest so far. You've got some harvest. You can also use them to seed elsewhere like your wife suggested.
Hey Tiffany! After looking further into it this is vole activity. We will definitely have to take care of this problem asap before we utilize this area again.
@@humbleservantshomestead7974 First I tried the castor oil trick. It only made it move over to something nearby until the rain. Once it rains it is useless. The solar sonic emitters seemed to have worked. They supposedly work for moles, voles, groundhogs (tunneling animals). I know you'll get it under control.
@@humbleservantshomestead7974 I’ve never seen a vole, but I already do t like them. I’ll be interested to learn how to handle them in case they bother my root crops. Will be doing some searches for solutions. Peace be with you!
Great harvest.
Oh my goodness I would be so angry at them dang rodents 😡 Blessings to you
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for sharing part one and part 2 awesome harvest
Beautiful harvest of sweet potatoes. Thankful that it didn't eat them all. Take care family and have a blessed day. ❤️🍀
This is like watching Fantastic Mr. Fox but from the perspective of Boggis, Bunce, and Bean 😭
I enjoy and learn when you remove the foliage, it’s a teaching moment. Thanks.
My cousin the first year he grew sweet potatoes he had a Chevy truck bed full of potatoes, he shared w his 4 other sister n laws, we had sweet potatoes for all 3 holidays. The next year the mice got them and he barely got any…..good luck next year
Someone else said they plant wine bottles with the neck facing up out of the dirt. The noise reverberates and keeps them away.
God is good God bless
Great attitude.
Maybe you have to plant the red sweet potatoes in a two story tire. The bottom story for foundation and the second story is where your red sweet potatoes grow.
Preparation day, huh?? I know exactly what that means😊 Enjoy your channel 👍🏽
I'm new to your channel, and new subscriber, and I found that I love you, and your family. I'm new at gardening and every plant that grows, I'm so thankful for. I do want to get to where I feed my family mostly on my garden. it looks like you do just that. May you all be continue to be blessed by the LORD.
Thank for stopping by the channel we are happy to have you. I am happy to know that you are growing your own food. Blessings to you and your family.
I had the same problem in Illinois, but I will try next year again!
Yes please try again next year. The thing for me is don't give up. Even when you have a failure one year try again the next.
Irish Spring original soap slivers stops rodents.
Good.jobmyfriend
I'm so sad the critters got to your sweet potatoes. So much hard work only to have them consume just a nibble and destroy so much. May the Lord continue to bless all future harvests and may you find the little buggers and eradicate them. God Bless
There is an old saying that we gardeners should remember: "one for the worm, one for the crow, one for the devil and one to grow!"
Looks to me like what ever it was brought the whole family to the feast. Either that or you got one monster size mole by now.lol God bless :-):-):-)
A neighbor cleared anout 2 acres of bush, and displaced a few critters who happily moved into my garden.
I know that's gotta be a bummer. Now that you discovered the critters in your garden, hoping you can get rid of them as well
Your channel is very inspiring! Thanks for sharing this!.
You got more good than bad so all good. Can I have your machete Cutlass 😁?. I have my little garden going too. Thank for sharing.
I know how you feel. One time I grew heirloom tomatoes and the cats cut them 😢
That’s a total shame what those voles are doing to your potatoes after all your hard work. Good luck next year
When I lived in Kentucky there were mole problems, too. I learned how to set mole traps and got quite a few of them, yet some made it into the garden, despite the hardware cloth I buried under the roots. I just kept setting the trap and taking them out one by one. I didn’t want to use poison and the smoke bombs only work a short time, then they return. Thankfully I haven’t found any moles here in W TN. I also have cats which may help, but I’ve not yet seen one caught by the cats, same for field mice. Time will tell. Praise Jesus
Thanks for bringing us on your journey! I love your videos!
Lots of people would toss them. If it's a mole just cut out lip contact area and wash em up for vittles Brotherman! Kinda like apples and maters with worm holes ...they gotta eat too! Cut the bad out and be happy happy when we eat the good foods!
Or he can save them for growing slips for nxt season
We harvested our sweet potatoes today. We would have had over 50 lbs total from 2 raised beds, but something chewed into several. We only ended up with 31 lbs. We came across 2 mole crickets in the bed that had a lot of damaged potatoes. I think it was mole crickets that chewed into our potatoes. 😞
My cat did a good job of hunting critters.
Did you see my message from your last harvest video where Wayland Smalley is trying out a stake that make sounds to keep the moles away from his sweet potatoes?
I used s product called Repel for rodents. Pelleted mint…worked great.
You need Joseph Carter the Mink Man!
great video, don't let the rodents take your green thumb away. 😅 You've harvested a great bunch of good looking sweet potatoes.
Set up an electric😂 fence and a couple pigs to roam root and poop in you potato patch. If you have some hay let them work it in for you. Butcher in the spring and plant potatoes and onions together.
Great video new sub I have a gopher issue I sure pray they leave my sweet potatoes alone have a blessed day
Hoping your gopher problem gets resolved quickly. We moved the area that we planted sweet potatoes this year so hoping we don't have this problem again! Peace and blessings
Rodents hate Irish Spring soap slivers.
"they gotta eat, too" Well, dead rodents don't have to eat! And live ones can eat something else. I don't love sweet potatoes, though I have been growing them and finding uses. I find that trellising them works well for getting a good yield. They don't naturally climb, though, so you have to train them up the trellis every couple of days when you go through and check for weeds.
Looking inn from jamaica bro,
And a think your keeping potatoes thick inn ware you can walk you must keep in between their clean,
And you could get them really bigger but your making them running too wild you must curv them and keep the top of row ware you see rite through
And a bet you will get a better result
Very niceeee harvest
Hey There Erica! Thanks for tuning in Sis
Enjoyed both of your sweet potato harvest videos. New subscriber here. So sorry that rodents got some of your harvest. I will be harvesting mine soon and know that I'm also going to find some damage, but I'm hoping that the majority will be okay, as well. Blessings.
Love your channel! New subscriber. Nurse & Eucharistic Minister in Scottsdale AZ. So sorry about your sweet potatoes 🥔 bummer. What to do?
God will always bless your wonderful efforts 🙏 👍 Great work. Don't worry and don't ever give up. Appreciate your thankfulness. God bless you and keep you in His loving care always.
Not a mole. Moles eat slugs. Then, voles use the tunnels the moles make, to get to the plants to eat them. If you get rid of the slugs, you get rid of the moles, which lessons or gets rid of the voles. Or, you can get a couple of solar powered sonic sound emitters to drive away the voles.
Lol He did a goldilocks lol
Great harvest, what month do you start planting your sweet potato slips?
The garden gave you more leaves than potatoes 🥔
Praise YHWH from whom all blessings flow.💕💕
I think it's a Vole they love sweet potatoes
Grateful attitude👍 To deal with the mold devouring the fruit of your ground tithe a tenth of your current harvest and then bring the issue before the LORD.see Malachi. 3:11.
Two of my sweet Potatoes we're attacked as well now I have some slips planted how long do you let slips stay planted I have had them planted since July I'm sorry humble Servants 🙏🏾
You need a good recipe for MOLE STEW!
You can cut out the bad part and use the rest blessings
We're this place buthifull place
We are located in GA. Thanks for watching.
How do u no went they are ready.
constructive 👊🏾
I still see a beautiful bountiful harvest. God is good. Temember you are the caretakers of Gods creatuon. He must have intendee for you to feed his crrstures, or they eouldbt have found your plants. Maybe... if you olabr a few slips, toward the woods, away from your garden, and let them grow wild, the creatures will go after those rather tjan your garden crop. Just a thought. Otherwise, those sonic sound devices for rodebts, do work.
Wow
Thanks for stopping by The Humble Servants Homestead.
DAMAGE WILL END ON THE ENEMIES FACES
Where you get your sp seeds or seedlings??
I just finished watching another gardener and he used a compost pile of leaves with dark mulch. Not one sweet potato was eaten by a rodent.
Agouti is the ome thats eating it One
How long must you water your potatoes for every day?
To be honest we didn't really water them. We watered them when we first planted them and maybe twice after that during the whole time they were planted.
That would piss me off I reckon!! I feel sorry for you guys!! Maybe try in pots next time?? Cheers!! :-(!!
Towards the end after seeing all that damage that happened it was starting to get to me a bit
Repel the rodents.
You have large beautiful patches of monocrop. This will create a center of plant scents that attract the rodents
You can plant potatoes in guilds or create an artificial scent barrier. I have noted from my study the following methods
1. Scented cloth or night cover
2. Raised bed made of wood that will absorb scented oil
3, wire cloth, or stone and gravel, large mulch bottoms which make it hard work for digging rodents
5. Ollas are expensive but can make it with cheap terracotta pot and lid and mortar. You can use for balancing water table without losing water to evaporation, you can also lace the with scented oils for slow release into soil.
I have not had the opportunity to try these things, only note them from my studies
Question? Can I have some potatoes ? Do you sell on Etsy ?
God's creatures have to eat. Good positive attitude you al have.
You can always go caddy shack on the more or gopher LOL.
IT MUST BE A FAT RODENT FROM AL IT ATE. LOL
Get a cat or two😏
Squirrels eating your sweet tators?
When the critters beat you to your food, it's not funny, but when cameraman said "He did the Goldilocks" I'm not gonna lie, I laughed. I can just see the vole trying each one and settling on the tastiest potato in the row. Nature can be cruel.
When the Lord blesses you with more than half of what you grow, you have to be thankful. It's getting hard out there for the animals. Think of the work that vole did for a taste of something that only grows wild in the tropics... That little dude put in the hours.
You can try something like planting your herbs around the potato patch. The voles in my yard stay away from the plants with a strong smell, like herbs. But now they know sweet potatoes once grew in that ground and they will keep coming back to check on it, to see if more miracle food appears... How can you hate them for that? To him, that was a miracle performed by God. Tastiest food he ever tried, just appeared out of nowhere. At least he was willing to share with you. :)
But seriously, I admire your thankful demeanor, even in the face of disappointment. Well done.
Well you know as well as I do whenever you got that where that road rodent has eaten then you all you got to do is cut that off and eat the rest of the potato this is Rob
Line the bottom of first story.
You can cut off the pieces the rabbit ate.
Just so you know it’s hard to hear you when the camera person is far away.
Yes we have received that feedback and hope that we have improved in our most recent videos as this one is from last year.
Can’t you cut out the bitten parts or feed it to farm animals
Y don't yall grow them in 20 gallon containers, more safer from rodents and moles.
lol
CUT OFF THE BITES AND EAT THEM FOR DINNER
That's rat eating your potato
Are you married and where do you live
This is terrible,horrible. Grow in containers
We eat potato leaves in Sierra Leone. So you do not have to feed all of it to the goats. Cook it like you would cook calaloo. Add meat, fish onions and scotch bonnet peppers. Yum 😋. Try it.
Google ' How to cook potatoes leaves'. Good luck
