![Turn ONE Sweet Potato Into 100 LBS Of Sweet Potatoes By Growing SWEET POTATO SLIPS! [Complete Guide]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/0igp5IzO21g/mqdefault.jpg)
I took a sweet potato I got from the grocery store and soaked it in an ascorbic acid bath(crushed vitamin c tablets and water) in order to remove the coating they spray on it to prevent sprouting. I planted that big sweet potato, waited a month and harvested the slips from it and planted the slips. That was my initial reason to plant the big sweet potato.
Man this was right on time. I see my slips growing thinking I have some sweet potatoes for fall😂. I would have been so disappointed.
😂😂😂😂💚🌱
Lol…that was what mine looked like!! Exactly….I’m talking about the terrible harvest! And yes, I didn’t know. But now I know better and will use slips next year. Ty!!
I’m happy that this video helped you Family!!!💚🌱
I've never had success with sweet potato slips. However, I did cut up my sweet potatoes and threw them all over the garden. I got massive orange sweet potatoes.
I almost made that mistake at the beginning of the year 😂thank goodness the gardening community came to my rescue 😂I have lots of slips now and about to harvest very soon❣️🌱🌞Thank you for sharing this
😂😂😂😂💚🌱
Is that where sweet potato fries come from lol. Love the channel
Im growing slips from one sweet potato as we speak. I will post in my community tab. Its my first time so Im being patient with myself lol Stay Blessed family 🌱🙏🏾✨️🤗
Great teaching video tfs and I'll see you in the garden 🤗
Thanks for sharing so many great tips!!!😊
Can you please reshow how to start slips get started. I got tubers forming but I don't know where the best place to keep them while they grow the slips ❤ cheers brother 👍
LOVE this guy! Best video I’ve seen on starting SP’s. Just discovered this channel and now a subscriber.
Outstanding educational video! That is the type of harvest you _happen upon_ in a *SHTF,* I'm MOVING but I understand the concept of VOLUNTEER plants type of situation NOT what should be DEPLOYED in a regular _'Gardening or Homesteading environment!'_ Thanks, young Brother for this one! Be blessed!
Oh boy…I did what your not supposed to do and when I went to dig them up….I had long skinny roots! Terrible. So that’s why….I did have beautiful plants though…..I guess their called slips! Live and learn….thank you!
I’ve never planted sweet potatoes before because I thought I didn’t have enough room. You’ve shown me that all I need is a box and not a lot of room. I knew sweet potatoes were supposed to be grown from slips, but seeing the proof will help me to always remember that and that I shouldn’t waste my time experimenting. I can’t wait to see the harvest from the ones grown from slips next week.
Awesome video bro! I can’t wait to get to work making more sweet potatoes. Last years harvest was lackluster but I think I Can make a decent harvest this year. Thanks again for the help
I have not had much luck so far with slips, but this year I just may get sweet potatoes some finally.
Grew slips in a jar of water this spring, i left the sweet potatoes in there now still more are growing lol.
Awesome garden.
On the nex property, fence, boobie traps & a quality rilfe with a scope.
Being a Brit, I know very little about Sweet Potatoes outside of eating them, because we don't really have the weather to grow them here, or maybe the right variety... I don't know, but I certainly don't have the space. However, whilst planting the tuber may not be the way to actually get the Sweet Potatoes to grow themselves, I have to say that your box method is the best I've seen for getting slips. Even if I had to start them early in the house, I'd do it like that rather than the water method. I look forward to seeing your harvest.
I can’t wait to harvest Fam!!!💚🌱
Actually I've seen some very impressive harvests from some UK folks here on UA-cam! It can definitely be done, as long as you have 120 days or so with a daily average temperature around 65°F. If you don't get those temps naturally, you could try building a low tunnel out of some PVC pipes or hoop wires and some clear 6mil greenhouse plastic. It's amazing how quicky this heats up in our garden. Our spring starts out pretty cool, but it gets at least 20° or so warmer in the little tunnel I tossed together. And it shelters my white potatoes from our deluge rainfall, too!
@@Nimbus350 Yeah, I have a friend who has had some success growing some in buckets in a greenhouse. I've just gone to have a look for anyone having better luck growing outside, and found a couple. One chap is a Zone up from me, being further South, but I noticed he also grows Yacon, which I grow too, and over winter, which it's not supposed to be able to do here. That's the beauty of gardening, it's not just the plants that can grow 😁
@@thenodiggardener exactly! I have a few citrus in ground here, and we are probably a zone and a half cooler than the suggested zone 😂. Microclimates for the win!
@@Nimbus350 That's cool that you have citrus growing like that. I like being able to test things out, and see if we push the zones a little. If ever I get more space I'll certainly give the sweet potatoes a go.
I imagine that even those fine roots must be super nutritious.
New to planting and growing sweet potatoes. Thanks for the tip.
I drunk planted a sweet potato like that last year and nope, didn't get a thing. I did slips this year though, not ready to harvest yet but they look pretty good from above ground, it's killing me to know what's down there in the dirt, lol.
Considering you also cut a bunch of slips off those, that's actually not a bad production! Not a lot of greenery to pull energy for storage. I bet if you gave them some food, left the vines alone and let them go out wild like the rest, they could have gotten a lot bigger. Especially since we usually start slips in relatively sterile, nutrient low medium, it's not too surprising that they're still pretty little overall. I still agree that we could definitely plant slips 100%. But if we kept our propagating box and gave it some food, that's even a little more harvest than what we would have gotten by just tossing this box aside once we maxed out our planting beds.
I'm guessing here, but might the sweet potatoes be growing such small new potatoes because they still have the big ones attached, and the plant prioritizes keeping the big one growing? The entire point of the fruit for the plant is to store energy and nutrients so it can survive and spread, so it would make sense to nourish the big starting one first and neglect smaller offspring deeper in the soil.
How do you maintain the potatoes to make slips for next year?????. How do you keep them from rotting until then???
GM dear…Michigan here 👋🏻😄
when using grow bags, do I use indoor soil or potting mix
This is absolutely amazing. Love how big the sweet 🍠 are and you just gave me an idea on growing them in boxes. Great video. Thanks for sharing💪🏽🌱🍠
Thank you, great experiment. I will let my sweet potatoe grow next year's slips. 😊
Thank you Fam!!!💚🌱
Thank you..
No problem Family!!!💚🌱
Thanks! I have never planted a whole sweet potato
💚🌱
Wow, I learnt something today. Thank yu
Try growing moutain yams or true yams. Thank-you for sharing such valuable information with us subscribers 😀 👍.
How often should I water the soil in the box
Do you have to start the roots of the slips in water, or put them directly in the ground? 🤔
You expire me. You are Awesome 🫡✊🏾🫶🏾
Wonder how they would grow in Michigan. Might give this a try next year :)
I'm from Barbados how often do you fertilize your sweet potatoes?
So they will keep til next year to use as seed potatoes? Also when is the best month to start planting the slips? Im right next door to u, in alabama. Zone 7b
Does this also apply to white potatoes ????
Now, you’re using wisdom, gifts in the palm of your hands
I LOVE when MyPpl LEARN FROM EXPERIMENTATION!!!!!

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE WHEN ✊🏽👁GOD SHOWS UP & SHOWS OUT FOR US ON A PERSONAL LEVEL LIKE THIS!!! Won't *SHE* DO IT!!?! 💜👨🏾🌾🙌🏽👸🏽💜
Yeah, only in the tropics, where they stay in the ground for loooong time.
