I've been successful with neutralising Chlorpropham or CIPC by soaking the tubers in a mild solution of hot chilli powder in warm water for an hour or so then rinsing in clean water
Thank you for mentioning Etsy, I just went there and purchased some. I couldn’t find them anywhere. I had slips then we moved and found them under some box’s in the backyard.
I hate to burst any bubbles, but the grow bags are made from recycled plastic. I think it’s a great idea and I use them, but just being clear about what they are. Cardboard boxes, also hold up remarkably well...for one season.
Letting the vines go so long is a bit of a waste, you should pinch the tips when they get about 5 or 6 inches long and force them to bush. Keep your vines short so that your leaves are closer to the ground and send more energy into root production. Everything else was awesome
Sweet potatoes are white inside and very sweet. The Amish grow both. But like you I call yams sweet potatoes too. Mine aren't doing good. Some didn't even sprout.
The #2 in the recycling symbol denotes that the bucket is made out of high density polyethylene, a particular plastic polymer. It does not denote that the bucket is food grade. HDPE buckets can be made using colorants that are not food grade, and the manufacturing process can also introduce chemicals that would make them not be considered suitable for food storage. I don't think the risk is high growing plants in a bucket that isn't marked food grade--that designation is mostly about storing food in the bucket for prolonged periods--but the polymer the bucket is made from (they're almost all HDPE, even if not food grade) has little to do with it.

❤ the video 🍠sweet potatoes🍠
Happy gardening
I was wondering if you would ever do a series on Bonsai? Love the collection behind you on most of your videos 😊
Thanks for the idea!

Google sweet potatoes and yams difference. Sweet potatoes have a smooth skin , and yams have a brown ruff skin.
also, yams aren't as sweet as sweet potato
Are the buckets food safe?
Hoss tools, Steele plant company both sell slips
The white bucket also heats up quite well. It is plastic i think.
Where are the links
I get free buckets from Safeway
