- DIY No TIll Tower Sweet Potato Harvest | Who Grew It Better? Guten Yardening Zone 5 Gardening Wisconsin
You might be wondering:
How can I grow sweet potatoes in the smallest growing space?
How can I maximize my small growing space?
In this video we document the first round of a game changing sweet potato experiment.
This season we created several DIY vertical gardens from concrete mesh tomato cages. We wrapped one of the towers in burlap and the other in food safe, black plastic.
The medium of these beds is primarily decomposing hay, and so these are modified Ruth Stout vertical gardens.
We then planted sweet potatoes in each vertical garden. We wanted to see which wrapping would help to produce the best sweet potatoes, the black plastic or the burlap.
In this sweet potato harvest 2022 video, our younger gardener in training joins me to harvest sweet potatoes and learn the results of this sweet potato experiment.
It's tower vs. tower!
We hope you enjoy! Let's go Ruth Stout sweet potatoes!

Props to the lil Yardener video pirate...LOL
Ha! I was editing the video, and then, surprise, there was that clip. Ha! I loved having her along for the harvest.
Team Red Sweet potato 🇬🇧 😊
Such a great way to bond with your kids.
We had a blast out there. She loves sweet potato harvests and has been an amazing help this harvesting season. It definitely makes the harvest that much more fun too. :)
Oh sure, tease us with more sweet potato harvests to come. Why are potato harvest videos so darn satisfying?
I like the red ones, but that's what I'm used to. When I lived in south Georgia they had to sweetest ones I'd ever had. Yum. I'm so tempted to dig into my containers, but it's still warm here and I want to give them more time.
2:36 ♥️. Precious!!!
Yes! Thanks for watching.
These two experimental mediums were amazing!
Favorite color of sweet potato is red!
Thank you so much! We have had some great red sweet potatoes too. Excellent choice!
Wow it composted beautifully! Those darn voles! I always love your harvest videos
It really did, and we hope next year it will perform even better. Thank you so much for watching and being a part of our community!
I like to watch your videos I've learned so much. God bless.
Thank you so much for watching! We really appreciate your suppor!
Another interesting experiment. Thanks for sharing it with us.
On the burlap tower I think I would put a smaller wire around the wire as well and mabe across the bottom to keep the voles out. Good job on your experiments.
Thank you! Yes, I think we may try some more hardware cloth like we did on our purple sweet potato bed this season. I think that could be a real difference maker.
Nice harvest. Good video
Thank you so much for enjoying it with us!
I love your experiments! Keep up the great work (and great sharing)!!!!
We loved the results of this one! Thank you so much for watching, and here's to more harvests in the future. :)
@@GutenGardening The whole idea is so amazing for us, in this climate! Yay, you!
I hope you can give it a try! Have a wonderful evening!
I love your experiments. Glad you had success. Looking forward to more next season!
We have voles or moles or whatever but I used hardware cloth on the bottom of my raised containers. I think I would warp the entire raised bin with it.
We loved the results that hardware cloth made for our raised bed, and so I think we will be investing in that even more, and so wrapping these beds seems like a potentially simple solution! Thank you. :)
That sap is similar to the gunk that gets on your hands when cleaning tomato plants; wash your hands with a little white vinegar and it should come right off.
Thank you for the suggestion, and you were spot on. It came right off.
I wonder, what if you double up the burlap to increase the heat? Maybe it would match the plastic?
Thanks for the video 😊
As a child we put mothballs in mole holes and they stayed away.
Chicken wire. Wrap the frame with chicken wire next year.
It was our first harvest ever last week. We planted some in our yard and then some in a raised bed. Unfortunately we had had a cucumber plant and tomato plant in the raised bed prior to planting sweet potatoes and didn't know any better. Ones in the yard were wonderful but the ones in the raised bed were all eaten up with big black holes in them from what I think are cucumber beetles. Does anyone know what they would have been? Is there something else that leaves black holes and is there a way to get rid of them. Is it a matter of rotating the potatoes?
My neighbour gives me one black sack of guinea pig spent bedding every week its in my garden still enclosed in the bags can I use it next spring to grow food or is that not suitable as it was used as animal bedding?
Are those voles old enough to survive without their mother ? I wouldn’t want them in my garden either but I don’t know if I could sentence them to death.
I'm not sure if they will survive, but I placed them elsewhere instead of dispatching them. It's hard because I really dislike their damage, but I also was in a great mood harvesting the sweet potatoes. :D
Hay or straw? If hay, why hay and not straw?
