I am glad I found you. I live in South Africa and it is summer here. I am going to try sweet potatoes in grow bags. Hopefully I will get a nice harvest. Planning to leave them till 1st frost in July❤❤
@@susankoster5644 you will love the grow bags! Check out my how to grow sweet potatoes video as well. Literally no need to fuss over rooting it. Just break off the slip and put it in the dirt in the grow bag.
@@susankoster5644 so easy, people make it so difficult. Whenever I empt the bags i literally just take the vines and roll them up on Top of the dirt that I put back in the bag and 3-4 months later another huge harvest of sweet potatoes! Happy harvest!!
OW What an amazing harvest. I love the size too. I know you are going to enjoy the fruits of your labor. I am going to try the garlic and olive oil sounds yummy.
@@deborahthompson5041 oh it is. So I nuke them for about 1-2 minutes and then I slice them in half and then I drizzle olive oil on the inside of both of the sweet potatoes or however, many you are doing, and then I sprinkle salt and garlic powder on them and then just throw them in the oven for however, long it takes to soften them again to get them good and yummy! Let me know! Thanks for stopping by
@@mrodriguez21409 thank you. That was 6 of the 10 bags I had so there was a full ally more. Grow bags are pretty awesome specially for sweet potatoes that tend to grow far and deep when I’m the ground directly.
@@Offgridlee444 I just wound those leaves back into the same grow bag and they’re already a good month in and will be getting a harvest and another 60 days. I’m sure.
@@bFORCe2003 I have about 15 bags but I think I only dumped 6-7 in the video. In each 10 gallon grow bag I put two or three slips. I do give them a crew cut when they start to get to long. The soil is organic Kelloggs. I get it at Home Depot. And then I mix a top soil and compost into it. Then add a bit of 10-10-10 and then just stir that up. Then just stick the slips in the bag a you will never run out of sweet potatoes! Happy harvesting!
I grew sweet potatoes for the fist time this year in a raised bed. Harvesting was a mess. I stabbed a lot of them. Next year will be in containers. How long can you store them?
@@gsmscrazycanuck9814 I live in Florida so storing them is a bit more of a problem because we don’t have cool basements or low temperatures to keep them in the garage or something. But I storm in my laundry room and baskets and last months. I do as well, so a lot of mine go to canning. Since I did the video, it’s been one month and I already have a huge garden of sweet potatoes again in my bags. Yeah, I learned the sweet potato lesson, not growing them in the ground as well.
Good afternoon, so you dont cure your sweet potatoes? I agree also I had to have an emergency back fusion surgery and then caught SEPSIS in December 2022 . So I now use grow bags instead of in the ground . Alot better harvest and so much easier for someone at 59 in 3 weeks lol Plus my back . Then in November we plant our short day onions, which we harvest in April . We planted 335 sweet onions & red creole onions an ended up with 312 onions . We give alot to our older sons & family as they help us , but i still have alot and will be freezing them this weekend ,chopped up . New subscriber. Mrs josette Montgomery County, Texas 🙏 ✨️ How many bags did you use this year ?
@@jtharp9265 first. I am sorry you are going through so much pain. glad they caught the SEPSIS. This was 7 grow bags. I got 70 sweet potatoes. It was a super great harvest. I am 64 so I like to have raised beds and earth boxes. And the grow bags. I do wrap the vines back into the bags and then add any missing dirt and boom. They grow again. I work full time so am canning a lot of these but don’t really need to that much because I always have a revolving harvest. No I don’t let them cure. I just eat them. My puppy dogs like them too cooked I’m beef broth. lol. Thank you for subscribing. I am going to do a water video soon on rain barrels and water storage in case we end up on a crisis.
@whitewillow142 we have family in Altamonte Springs, Florida, and up near Tallahassee, Florida. We just were there in June . I always either get my onion starts from Dixondale farms here in Texas or Hoss tools from Georgia , Hoss has a channel on here , that's How I found them. They always send me extra onion starts and truly get amazing big onions from them. Dixondale also . Just to give you good advice on where we get ours and so worth it , as 1 sweet onion is costing $1.79 each these days . God bless you & be safe . Yes, water catchment is truly important right now , We have the water filter system and lots of water . And live on a lake. Watch your surroundings at all times , I was shocked visiting my aunt after only 1 yr. But it's getting like that here as well . Horrible just horrible Josette Texas 🙏 ❤️❤️
@@myretiredhobbiesgainesvill8140 these are just organic sweet potatoes from the local organic store that made some slips. So I just broke off the slips and stuck them in dirt. Super easy.
@@Soggybottomnz I added the video I did on slips. So easy and not deep at all. When I chop them or give them a crew cut when the vines get crazy, the vines can be placed on the dirt again with just a sprinkle of dirt on them to secure them, and they will grow!!
WOW! What a great harvest. Your video came across my feed and I'm so glad it did. Thanks for sharing and I'll see you in the garden 🤗
@@georgiapeachnut2490 thanks for stopping by! You’re in Georgia?
@whitewillow142, yes I am. Sorry for the late response. My sister has been sick and passed away a week ago so my attention has been diverted. 😔

@whitewillow142 just watched the video you mentioned. Thanks going to do it your way. Actually I have some slips in water. Will plant it tomorrow

Sweet potato income from bags is so interesting. I like income
You had a great sweet potatoes harvest. New friend here. Showing you support. Thanks for sharing. Have a blessed day 😊
@@Sellers707 you are very welcome. I should have done a video on canning all these sweet potatoes. I love frowning them in the bags. Happy harvesting.
good tip, it eliminates cutting into them when digging
@@rasputin214 oh ya. It was a game changer for me
Wow, amazing harvest.. can't wait to harvest mine..new friend here from Growing My Own.
@@growingmyown thank you !!!
Amazing, I will have to try that.
@@davidyoung6848 much easier than digging in the ground.
Amazing
@@FoodhuntwithEvenow thank you!
What time of year do you plant sweet potatoes and do you sprout them like you do potatoes?
I'm so amazed!!! That's awesome!! ❤

Hi, new subscriber here!
That’s an excellent harvest! I grew them for the first time this year and I didn’t do too bad.
How long do you cure them for?
@@Offgridlee444 I just wound those leaves back into the same grow bag and they’re already a good month in and will be getting a harvest and another 60 days. I’m sure.
How many sweet potato slips did you plant in the bin and how many per grow bag?.....Also what did you use for the soil.
@@bFORCe2003 I have about 15 bags but I think I only dumped 6-7 in the video. In each 10 gallon grow bag I put two or three slips. I do give them a crew cut when they start to get to long.

What variety did you plant?
What is the variety of potatoes you are growing?
@@myretiredhobbiesgainesvill8140 these are just organic sweet potatoes from the local organic store that made some slips. So I just broke off the slips and stuck them in dirt. Super easy.
Do you plant the slips deep?
