I have been gardening for almost 20 years. I’ve grown a lot of sweet potatoes, and I have to admit this is one of the most interesting garden videos I’ve ever watched. I am definitely going to grow my sweet potatoes this way next year.❤ I have paid a lot of money for slips that someone has rooted in water. I also love your simple trellis because my sweet potato vines trail all over outside of my raised beds. Great video :0) I have subscribed to your channel. I look forward to watching some of your other videos. 💕
Thank you so much for your kind words! It's truly heartening to hear from an experienced gardener like yourself. I'm thrilled that you found the sweet potato gardening method intriguing, and I hope it brings you a bountiful harvest next year. It's always rewarding to share experiences and tips within the gardening community. I completely understand the frustration of spending money on rooted slips, and I'm glad the alternative method resonated with you. Simple solutions, like the trellis, can indeed make a big difference, especially when dealing with vines outside raised beds. I appreciate your subscription and look forward to providing more content that you find enjoyable and informative. If there are specific topics or techniques you'd like me to cover in future videos, please feel free to let me know. Happy gardening! 🌱😊
Well done, sweet potatoes will keep longer if you do not wash them for couple weeks after harvesting. Instead just wipe off the dirt and store in a cool dark place . Then you can wash them and place them in cool dark place until you cook and eat them. Your trellis system worked well. Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm delighted to hear that the sweet potatoes are keeping well with the method of not washing them immediately after harvesting. It's indeed a great tip to wipe off the dirt and store them in a cool, dark place for an extended shelf life. I'm thrilled to know that the trellis system worked out for you and provided inspiration. If you have any more questions or if there's anything else you'd like to know, feel free to ask. Happy gardening!
I live in the South of England and I grew one sweet potato last year to see how it would grow in our cool climate and I was pleasantly surprised to get a decent crop so this year I planted one of my deep beds with ten plants I propagated from slips and harvest time is near but not quite yet! I will try growing some vertically next year as this looks like to be a good method.
That's fantastic to hear about your successful sweet potato cultivation in the South of England! It's always rewarding to experiment with different crops in varying climates. It sounds like you've managed to thrive with sweet potatoes, even in the cool climate, and your decision to plant ten plants this year seems to be paying off. The anticipation of harvest time must be exciting, and it's great that you're already planning ahead by considering vertical growth for next year. Vertical gardening can indeed be an effective method for maximizing space and yield. Best of luck with your upcoming harvest, and I hope your future sweet potato endeavors continue to yield impressive results!
Did you use the orange 🍠 sweet potato from the market or you used supermarket ones, if supermarket please let know which one you went to. Have you tried the glass method that I am seeing people using to get the slips from, thanks
I used sweet potatoes from the market, specifically the orange 🍠 variety. Unfortunately, I can't provide information on the specific supermarket since I didn't note that detail. Regarding the glass method for obtaining slips, yes, I've tried it, and it's a popular and effective technique. The glass method involves suspending the sweet potato in water with toothpicks, and slips (young shoots) will sprout from the potato, which can then be used for propagation. If you have any more questions or need further details, feel free to ask!@@lifeiseverything9
Here in Fl I made a trellis using old wire fence and in the box I used bags of old leaves & planting the slips in pockets of dirt. I would take cuttings through out the growing season and sauté in garlic oil. Delicious also in salads … it also helps to have shorter vines so the energy can go into producing the potato. I used the trellis vines to shade the box less watering needed. I had large sweet potatoes and nice yield. Considering greens throughout the summer to eat as well
It's really cool to see people growing their own food. It would be great if more people acquired this habit. In addition to improving our health by consuming healthier foods, we contribute to preserving our planet by reducing the use of pesticides. Congratulations on sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
When I moved to the States I was shocked how just about nobody had a garden or grew fruit trees, instead of grass and ornamental plants. In Europe just about everyone with some tiny piece of land grows their own food and fruits. America came far away from the Victory gardens for sure. 🙁
We grew some in 5 wicking tubs on a deck this year. Did great, but they sprawled all over the place. This trellis idea is an excellent solution to growing them in a smaller area but allowing them to sprawl, just vertically. Thanks for posting this!!!
Vertical gardening can be a game-changer, providing an efficient solution to grow plants in smaller areas.It's fantastic that the trellis method helped you make the most out of your space and that you found the idea helpful. Happy gardening!
Wow truly amazing & yes I grow all my own vegetables but I have never tried vertical growing with sweet potatoes but I am going to try. It appears the pant puts all its energy into the ground potatoes & not on the spreading vine all over the ground, so much better. Cheers Denise- Australia
I haven’t tried growing sweet potatoes yet, but I definitely like the idea of using a trellis. Sweet potatoes are ground hogs and anything that sits on the ground seem to get eaten by the slugs in my yard. I’m in zone 8b so I have to wait until next spring to plant, but you helped me figure out where in my garden I’d like to try planting them. Thank you. 😊
I appreciate your feedback greatly. When sweet potatoes are suspended on a trellis, not only does it provide protection against pests, but it also enables the plant to concentrate nutrients for nourishing the tubers, preventing nutrient dispersion.
I really love this idea am planning to cut the food grade barrels and start a little garden in Jamaica I usually stay 64 day's I won't stay long enough for harvest-but my son can send me videos
Amazing! I planted sweet potato slips that grew tubers just like what you grew. I got the sweet potato from the Asian market as this is the variety I grew up with in Trinidad. However, I think I may not have utilized my space properly thereby reducing my yield. I planted 9 slips in a 3 x 6 raised bed but only harvested about 11 pounds of sweet potatoes. Should I have planted more slips? What are the spacing requirements for planting them? I also did not trim my vines. Should I have trimmed them back? They were everywhere.
I am struggling with moles and voles digging into my sweet potato beds. I believe this will be a way to arrest them maybe with wire cloth at the perimeter of the raised bed and having the vines vertical I’ll be able to see mole tunnels earlier. Thanks very very useful and inspiring
I agree this is one of the most informative videos on growing sweet potatoes. Much easier method and less expensive than I have been using. I am adopting it. Thanks. One question no one has addressed. How do you control ants in your garden. I've see a lot of videos with no one having this problem. I live in central GA, USA and have much problem with Fire Ants. Is it safe to use ant poisons in the ground with vegetables?

Hi. What a wonderfully relaxing video. I want to try it next season. Could you do a video on how you prepared the soil please. What amendments did you put in the soil so that it can grow so beautiful like that.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the videos on different planting methods helpful. I'll definitely continue to post more videos that can be of assistance. Thank you, my friend/ka farmers!
I'm glad to hear that you're excited to try vertical growing in your allotment next year! It can be a great way to maximize space and increase your garden's productivity.

Japanese sweet potatoes are a delightful choice, and it's great that you want to learn how to grow them in Zone 8 in the US. Here are some tips to help you succeed: Choose the Right Variety: Start by selecting a sweet potato variety that thrives in your climate and is suitable for Zone 8. Beauregard and Covington are two popular choices that should work well. Soil Preparation: Japanese sweet potatoes grow best in well-drained, loose, sandy loam soil. Make sure the soil is rich in organic matter and has a slightly acidic to neutral pH. Planting: Plant your sweet potatoes in the spring, once the soil has warmed up to at least 60°F (15°C). They need plenty of sunlight, so choose a sunny spot for your garden. Spacing: Space your sweet potato plants about 12-18 inches apart in rows that are 3-4 feet apart. This will allow the vines to spread and promote healthy growth. Watering: Sweet potatoes require consistent moisture, especially during the first few weeks after planting. Water them deeply but be careful not to overwater, as they don't like sitting in soggy soil. Fertilization: Use a balanced fertilizer with a lower nitrogen content to promote root development. Apply it before planting and then again during the growing season. Mulch: Mulch the soil around your sweet potatoes to retain moisture, control weeds, and regulate soil temperature. This helps the plants grow well. Hilling: As your sweet potato vines grow, gently hill up the soil around the base of the plants. This helps to encourage root development and protect the potatoes from sunburn. Pest and Disease Control: Keep an eye out for common pests like sweet potato weevils and aphids. Practice good garden hygiene and use natural or chemical methods to control these pests if necessary. Harvesting: Japanese sweet potatoes are typically ready to harvest in the fall, around 90-120 days after planting. Carefully dig them up, being gentle to avoid damaging the roots. Remember that sweet potatoes are different from regular potatoes, so the methods you use for sweet potatoes will vary. By following these tips and adapting them to your specific local conditions, you should have a better chance of successfully growing Japanese sweet potatoes in Zone 8. Good luck with your sweet potato gardening!
You're welcome! In the video, i using straw for raised beds. Straw is a popular mulch option for raised beds because it helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and gradually breaks down to enrich the soil.
At first I was wonderfully why she cut the small plants growing until she pointed to the buds and small roots. Wow all from two potatoes. I think I'll try this.
First few SP showed tiny bore holes ....... this fungus results in bitter SP. Second batch was fine. But have to take care of the fungus. I am not aware what causes it.
Sweet potato weevils bores holes and makes the potato bitter. Several types of nematodes can cause splits like that, but the potato splits from other things also

I grew my first slips from a market sweet potato after seeing this on UA-cam. I know I probably might not get a harvest as I actually did this kind of late. Honestly I didn’t think it would grow slips lol but it did. I have them in grow bags outside as we haven’t encountered our first frost yet in Georgia. How would I know when it’s harvest time? I’m growing about 5 - 8 slips
Harvesting sweet potatoes can be a rewarding experience, and it's great that you've successfully grown slips from a market sweet potato. Here's how you can determine when it's time to harvest your sweet potatoes: Wait for the Right Time: Sweet potatoes need time to mature, and the time to harvest them usually ranges from 90 to 170 days after planting, depending on the variety. In Georgia, where the first frost typically occurs in the fall, you'll want to ensure that you harvest your sweet potatoes before the frost arrives, as exposure to cold temperatures can damage them. Check the Leaves: Sweet potato vines will start to turn yellow and wither as the harvest time approaches. This is a good indicator that the sweet potatoes are ready to be harvested. However, it's essential not to wait until the vines are completely dead. Loosen the Soil: About two weeks before you plan to harvest, gently loosen the soil around one plant to check the size of the sweet potatoes. Use a garden fork or your hands to dig carefully and unearth a few sweet potatoes. If they are of suitable size for your preference, you can start harvesting. Harvest Carefully: Use a fork or spade to carefully dig up the sweet potatoes. Be gentle to avoid damaging the tubers. You may need to dig deeper to get all the sweet potatoes. Cure the Sweet Potatoes: After harvesting, allow the sweet potatoes to cure for about 1-2 weeks. This involves placing them in a warm (80-85°F or 27-29°C), humid place to help them develop their full flavor and heal any minor cuts or bruises incurred during harvesting. Storage: After curing, store your sweet potatoes in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area. Proper storage will keep them fresh for several months. Since you mentioned that you planted your slips late, it's possible that your sweet potatoes might not reach their full size or potential, but you can still harvest them and enjoy whatever has grown. Additionally, be vigilant about the approaching frost, as it can damage the sweet potatoes, so aim to harvest them well before the first frost date in your region.
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Soil preparation is indeed a crucial aspect, and exploring it can lead to better gardening or farming outcomes. If you have any specific questions or topics you'd like me to cover in future videos, feel free to let me know!
Certainly! I'm glad you appreciate the information about cassava tubers. Best of luck with trying out the method, and I hope it brings you success. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Happy experimenting!
Thank you so much for subscribing! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the sweet potato harvest video. Welcome to the community, and I hope you continue to find the content enjoyable.

If every household just grew some veggies and swopped with each other we would afford more and healthier food. A standard and honest reply i get to the suggestion to do so is I'M TOO LAZY. And then they complain about lack of money and expensive food!?
I understand that growing vegetables and participating in a community swap may seem like extra effort, but it's important to consider the long-term benefits. Not only does it contribute to more affordable and healthier food options, but it also fosters a sense of community and sustainability. By investing a little time and energy upfront, we can reduce our dependency on expensive store-bought produce and create a support system within our neighborhoods. It's a small change that can lead to significant savings and improved well-being in the long run.
According to the growth characteristics of sweet potatoes, letting them grow too quickly will take up a lot of space in your garden, and will disperse nutrients to nourish the tubers at the base. Building a trellis for them will create energy. yield and larger tubers so they can grow naturally
I'm sorry to hear about the bug infestation in your sweet potatoes last year. To grow bug-free sweet potatoes, consider implementing preventive measures. Use well-draining soil, practice crop rotation, and keep the garden area clean to discourage pests. Additionally, you can explore organic pest control methods such as neem oil or introducing beneficial insects to keep unwanted bugs at bay. Regularly inspect your plants for any signs of pests and take prompt action to address any issues. Best of luck with your bug-free sweet potato cultivation!

First few SP showed tiny bore holes ....... this fungus results in bitter SP. Second batch was fine. But have to take care of the fungus. I am not aware what causes it.

Sweet potato weevils bores holes and makes the potato bitter. Several types of nematodes can cause splits like that, but the potato splits from other things also

Nice video. Beautiful sweet potatoes.
I am very happy !!!
Thanks I am going to try this method. Like to save space for other veggies.
You're welcome! I hope the method works well for you.
I grew my first slips from a market sweet potato after seeing this on UA-cam. I know I probably might not get a harvest as I actually did this kind of late. Honestly I didn’t think it would grow slips lol but it did. I have them in grow bags outside as we haven’t encountered our first frost yet in Georgia. How would I know when it’s harvest time? I’m growing about 5 - 8 slips
Harvesting sweet potatoes can be a rewarding experience, and it's great that you've successfully grown slips from a market sweet potato. Here's how you can determine when it's time to harvest your sweet potatoes:
Wait for the Right Time: Sweet potatoes need time to mature, and the time to harvest them usually ranges from 90 to 170 days after planting, depending on the variety. In Georgia, where the first frost typically occurs in the fall, you'll want to ensure that you harvest your sweet potatoes before the frost arrives, as exposure to cold temperatures can damage them.
Check the Leaves: Sweet potato vines will start to turn yellow and wither as the harvest time approaches. This is a good indicator that the sweet potatoes are ready to be harvested. However, it's essential not to wait until the vines are completely dead.
Loosen the Soil: About two weeks before you plan to harvest, gently loosen the soil around one plant to check the size of the sweet potatoes. Use a garden fork or your hands to dig carefully and unearth a few sweet potatoes. If they are of suitable size for your preference, you can start harvesting.
Harvest Carefully: Use a fork or spade to carefully dig up the sweet potatoes. Be gentle to avoid damaging the tubers. You may need to dig deeper to get all the sweet potatoes.
Cure the Sweet Potatoes: After harvesting, allow the sweet potatoes to cure for about 1-2 weeks. This involves placing them in a warm (80-85°F or 27-29°C), humid place to help them develop their full flavor and heal any minor cuts or bruises incurred during harvesting.
Storage: After curing, store your sweet potatoes in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area. Proper storage will keep them fresh for several months.
Since you mentioned that you planted your slips late, it's possible that your sweet potatoes might not reach their full size or potential, but you can still harvest them and enjoy whatever has grown. Additionally, be vigilant about the approaching frost, as it can damage the sweet potatoes, so aim to harvest them well before the first frost date in your region.
which country or climate are you in ? how often do you water the sweet potatoes ?
If you use this method you hardly need any care !!!
Yes

Dalam menanam ubi jalar intinya jangan biarkan akar sekunder tumbuh untuk menjaga nutrisi umbi akar bisa berpusat di akar primer

If every household just grew some veggies and swopped with each other we would afford more and healthier food. A standard and honest reply i get to the suggestion to do so is I'M TOO LAZY. And then they complain about lack of money and expensive food!?
I understand that growing vegetables and participating in a community swap may seem like extra effort, but it's important to consider the long-term benefits. Not only does it contribute to more affordable and healthier food options, but it also fosters a sense of community and sustainability. By investing a little time and energy upfront, we can reduce our dependency on expensive store-bought produce and create a support system within our neighborhoods. It's a small change that can lead to significant savings and improved well-being in the long run.

You could build a fence out of sweet potato stalks... The vines look like ivy.

Nice idea, congratulations boss, you're about to have money to drink beer
Thank you, if we meet, I will drink beer with you 7 days and 7 nights
well an an indigenous person i find it a waste to hang the vines for the vines are supposed to be buried to yield more sweet potatoes
According to the growth characteristics of sweet potatoes, letting them grow too quickly will take up a lot of space in your garden, and will disperse nutrients to nourish the tubers at the base. Building a trellis for them will create energy. yield and larger tubers so they can grow naturally
You wouldn't have to trelles all the vines. Simply lay one or two down to root.
🎉good idea I'll do the same thanks
I appreciate your feedback greatly. good luck !!!
Good luck ❤
tks my friend
Which time or season are perfect for harvesting the sweet potato.
If you start breeding in winter, you can harvest in early summer
Wow!
wow wow. :)
Booa noite pessoal. Gostaria de saber quantos dias ou meses de maturação fez do cultivo até a colheita.
130 days
고구마 수고하셨습니다 화이팅입니다
친구 야 고마워
❤ great job
tks my friend
Very good. I like it very much
I grew sweet potatoes last year and they were full of bugs little white worms. I would like to grow bug free sweet potatoes.
I'm sorry to hear about the bug infestation in your sweet potatoes last year. To grow bug-free sweet potatoes, consider implementing preventive measures. Use well-draining soil, practice crop rotation, and keep the garden area clean to discourage pests. Additionally, you can explore organic pest control methods such as neem oil or introducing beneficial insects to keep unwanted bugs at bay. Regularly inspect your plants for any signs of pests and take prompt action to address any issues. Best of luck with your bug-free sweet potato cultivation!
