I’m so glad that you reposted this video, it’s my favorite harvesting video, you’re so excited like a kid on Christmas morning, it’s fun to watch, thanks for teaching us, Cindy
WOW SIMPLY AMAZING HARVEST. I have never seen that many potatoes from 3 potatoes. Next year I am going to get some sand. Thank you for your great tips. Job well done.
All my life I have heard "good things come to good people", this video was proof positive. David it was SO good to hear the excitement in your voice. :-)
Nice haul! 139lbs. That's remarkable and definitely worth the effort you put in. I never heard of the Mittleider method, but as far as prepping goes, this was a damn good success. Thank you.
WAY TO GO!!!!! OMG!!!! We did regular potatoes in our first garden this year!! Just 4 potatoes and cut them for the eyes and got 12 plants!! OMG!!! We are definitely going to have to give away/sell some of our regular taters!! I LOVE sweet taters so this is what we will also do next year!! Way to go you guys!! Congrats!!! I subscribed to your channel!! Thanks for sharing this!!! Pam & Kev, Western Upstate NY !!
Thanks so much for showing your process from beginning to end! I really enjoyed learning how to grow slips from an individual potato. That was brand new info to me and I plan to use the technique this coming spring! :) The only real gardening experience I have is with planting young trees around my property. I decided to try planting my own vegetable garden this year. It is all new to me. It's been a wonderful learning experience and a lot of fun! What I wanted to let your viewers know is that I planted slips I bought from a gardening center early this spring in western North Carolina, in the Smoky Mountain foothills. The native soil here is red clay exclusively! I mixed in some "Black Cow" fertilizer and a lot of peat moss just before planting. I then molded the soil into 2 rows of hills, then put the babies into the ground. Finally, I covered the hills and surrounding area with 2-3" of pine mulch. Since then, I haven't done a thing except water them thoroughly only once a week, even skipping weeks if we had good rain that week. Recently, I carefully dug near the base of some of the plants (beautiful yellow flowers, btw) to see how they are progressing. There are a minimum of six tubers per plant, all of good size!!! I am looking forward to a fantastic harvest very soon! The technique I used in sowing the soil was almost exactly the same as when I planted young trees: some Black Cow or other plain manure and some peat moss mixed in with the native clay soil. I only added a bit more peat moss with planting sweet potatoes since I'd been told they prefer more well-drained soil. I didn't have the ability to build raised beds or have any special soil mixtures, or even to add any special fertilizers during the growing season. Yet, I'm looking at a terrific harvest! So if you're new(er) to gardening, you don't need to follow the Mittleider Method or any other particular method to have a great harvest of sweet potatoes. They really do love the hills, though, if you're planting in the ground versus a raised bed! I really enjoyed watching your series of videos on how to sprout slips! I loved being able to see the process from beginning to end, the final harvest!!! And in this video in particular, I learned a lot on how to prepare the harvested vegetables for long term storage! Thanks so much, again! I am looking forward to checking out other videos you have posted. It may have been two years since you posted these videos, but you're still educating people! Thanks for leaving them online. ;)
Wow! Congrats LDS. I know how exciting it is when you start seeing huge harvests like that. It was so exciting this year using the Mittleider weekly feed. I had just under 400 quarts of pasta sauce, over 100 pints of green tomato relish from 14 tomato plants, and I lost track of how many peppers and cucumbers, but I am still eating pickles made from the garden cukes. I can't wait for spring to return to Ohio, I have more soil beds to get setup and a lot of growing to do, and I have been stuck inside for weeks as we get hit by one snow storm and ice storm after another. I am starting to feel like I live in Alaska and not Ohio! I still have dried herbs and canned stuff from the garden to eat while I watch the snow by the fireplace though.
Wow that is crazy what a harvest... Had me all fired up seeing a full wheel barrow from just 3 potatoes! I'm so excited to set up boxes and try the Mittleider method this year. I've been working on planning out where my boxes will go and then how to get water to them for the irrigation system. Thanks so much, your a real inspiration and ignore the trolls on here!
The reason this worked so well is because potatoes love loose soil. The sand and sawdust is exactly that. It really allowed the roots to grow and the more roots you get the more potatoes you get. So, this was really the key. You could probably do the same with pure compost, as well. Just make sure the soil is nice and loose. Don't let it compact down.
+Gary Verderamo I'm sure the plants loved the loose soil and that it helps growing tubers. I did just grow russett potatoes in the dirt here in Idaho which is a clay/silt mix. I harvested 150# of potatoes in a 18"x30' soil bed, which was a greater yield per acre than the commercial potato growers get in this area. I think soil, nutrients, watering, etc. all impact the production.
+LDSPrepper I grew a variety of potatoes here in Colorado Springs. I planted in a 5'x5'x15' box. The shoots came up and I covered them with dirt, then more shoots came up. I did that every time the shoots got 6" tall. I thought I would have tons of potatoes. Unfortunately, it was a bust! I only got about 5 gallons of potatoes and they were all small. A few red potatoes came out as big as my fist. I did something wrong for sure. I did not add any fertilizer on that batch. I figure the soil was depleted. Maybe I'll have better luck next time. I'd go broke and starve if I was a farmer. Ha hahah
+WAVETUBE84 Been there. Done that. Didn't work either. But this does work. It was very cheap and as you can see VERY successful. I decided to stop spending time and money on things that I hoped would work and just go with a proven method. I highly recommend using the Mittleider weekly feed nutrient mix in any soil. MittleiderGardening.com
LDSPrepper I Can't argue with that. Your method kicked some butt! I do recall when I harvested the few, diminutive, potatoes that did grow, that the soil around them was quite compacted. that sawdust/sand loam looks like an the sweet potatoes love it. Hey, I know nothing about gardening, farming of hunting.
Wow. That's the most impressive sweet potato harvest I have seen. I'd always heard that loose soil was the way to go. I am going to add some sawdust to my soil, too. Thanks so much for sharing this.
Amazing results. Just bought me couple of organic Japanese sweet potatoes that I'm going to grow slips from and then use your growing method to grow them.
Dear LDSPrepper, thank you for this great series of instructional and beginner-friendly videos! I am very excited to take the methods you used and produce my own harvest this fall. It was inspiring to hear just how excited and happy you were with your harvest and I hope I can achieve similar results with my own! Cheers, and again, thank you for the videos!
It's videos like this that make me wonder why people throw so much shade at you for being so por-Mittleider! That was so awesome to watch and hear! Thanks so much for sharing!!
This is amazing. You are a true gift for future generation who has to grow their own food to stay alive .I'll pass this onto my daughter . Thank you. I subscribed.
Thankyou so much for sharing this with us. Over here in the UK-England not many people eat or grow them. So the normal passer by they will go unnoticed. I can hardly wait to do this with my daughter next year.
I really like your videos. Simple, straightforward, but you show us the important and exciting things. I like the things you are working on. Keep 'em coming!
Thank you so much for sharing your information on how to grow these awesome looking sweet potatoes!! Love them so much! Eat them every night almost with our dinners!!
Wow! God really blessed your garden! I’ve never seen such wonderful sweet potatoes. The deer started eating our sweet potato leaves two days ago, but I think my husband got them in time and fenced the Mittleider in around it. Bad deer.
with results like this a man could feed a multitude : ) it is written he who is faithful with little will be given much. keep up the good work my friend may you be even more richly blessed.
Awesome! I'm glad to see you giving this a try. I think a big factor in my success were the nutrients I gave the potatoes. To learn more go to MittleiderGardening.com and check out the Micro Nutrients for $13.95
im in tasmania Australia cooler climate I have sprouted 8 slips on sunny window sill for 8weeks thanks to your video I now know what to do with them my garden beds will be sawdust and sand for sure..im excited they are so lush.
I just planted 1 Yam that had shoots and roots, and after a hot summer here in Mesa, AZ. I harvested 127 pounds of yams, I did no fertilizing of the plant, it was planted in a compost bed of 4x8. Next year I am planning on trying your method of growing. They are just yummy, I have yams for lunch every day at work. just a little butter, salt and pepper, even my 2 year old granddaughter loves them.
Until a few years ago I didn't know that yams and sweet potatoes are completely different. It would be interesting to do a side-by-side taste test and see which is preferred and which grows, stores and eats better.
Just a comment on frost on sweet potato plants. If you let the frost kill the potato plants it could cause black streaks in the potato, the streaks doesn't hurt you but is unsightly. One trick is when you know a frost is going to hit the coming night, and you don't have time to dig the potatoes, simply cut the vines off at the ground level, and rake a little soil over the cut stem. Then you have bought some time to do the digging. As to the curing making the potato taste sweeter, it does that by decreasing the water content, there by the potato get concentrated. You did good!
I am just a little jealous, well done! Last year I got about 25 lbs from I think 10-12 slips that I planted. This year I planted the same number of slips, but rabbits kept eating off the tops until about mid July. Once they plants finally started growing there wasn't much time to do a lot. Only one slip from what I can tell put down a decent few spuds. The rest were all just runners that rooted and made long spindly spuds. All in all I maybe got 8-10 lbs. Pretty sad. I guess next year I'll have to make sure I keep my hotwire on to keep the rabbits out!
Hello, it is amazing what you have harvested. Thanks for sharing it. It is good you tell people after harvesting tips. I am growing sweet potato this year for first time. I hope the harvesting is going to be as amazing as yours.
I LOVE tubers. A huge benefit of potatoes is as you mentioned, they can be harvested all throughout the season. That, and they are a preppers dream. I harvested my main patch in August. It is now the end of February, and I am still eating taters. No preservation, no drying, nothing.
Hey Mr. I had been living in VN for 25 years before I had been move to Canada. I had been grown up in the tropical country but I never see who can plan so well like you. Man, thank for your video.
I planted many slips I grew from grocery store potatoes in a round large grow bags with sawdust sand and horse manure and some blood meal and a few times feeding lots of watering started mid July they are large sweet potatoes , I have dug a few at a time looking forward to harvesting them soon!
Thanks for doing these vids. I have tried mail order slips with zero success, but now my slips are 6" tall. Looking forward to sweet potatoes this year. FYI farm feed stores carry bedding pellets that turn to saw dust when wet for horse stalls and its really cheap and in large bags so you can take them home in your car. I put them down the rows, water lightly and mix it in the soil. Keeps it light and fluffy. Make sure you put down enough nitrogen because as it breaks down your soil will be depleted. Thanks again for your time and info
Great video and thank you for sharing and helping those of us beginners who want to be self sufficient. Been trying to learn on my own and need others like yourself. Thank you again.. and keep sharing!
LDS prepper! I'm one, too! not as hard core as you, probably, but good for you. I'm a mom of four, married to a farmer, daily vlogger, living in Idaho. Nice to meet you. I subscribed. Our growing season is really short, but I'm looking forward to watching your videos.
Wow!! Nice method! I just planted 2 sweet potatoes from the store a few days ago but used regular potting mix I wish I had watched this before, I can still get sawdust and transdetctgrm to a bigger tub since I planted then in a bucket. Thanks for this video.
Sweet potatoes are one of healthyest things you can eat. And they're sweet, so its not hard to get little ones to eat them. A lot of third world countries eat a ton of sweet potatoes, they're a lot more tasty than other things that they have to eat. Awesome vid.
Wow, just 3 plants to start, you are oviously over paying on your tithing to be blessed with such a bountiful harvist ;-) Great job, and thanks for sharing. I have learned alot from your videos.
I was scrolling through UA-cam and just found this video that's a very impressive Haul of sweet potatoes. I'm going to try that next year as an experiment in 100 gallon grow bag 75% sawdust from a sawmill up the road from us that uses nothing but oakwood and 25% coarse sand thanks for the tip
WOW.....GOD said you will reap where you did not sow. MY GOD....Im sitting here SMILING none stop as you're pulling them up. I LOVE when GOD SHOWS OFF threw his obedient children🏆🏆 THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING ❤💛💙
I really like your video I can wait for my first year of planting sweet potatoes I have sandy soil and even got flowers on them I did not use any thing except some fertilizer at the beginning they look great so wish me luck.
Holy cow! Awesome! So wish I could find sawdust in my area.. I am going to try some under black plastic next year! I love sweet potatoes with just butter, salt and pepper!
thank you for sharing this i live in Calgary Alberta we have a shorter growing season here but i would still like to try growing some here thanks for the inspiration
Thank you for sharing the whole series of your video. I LOVE sweet potatoes and I am living in France, so the s.p. is considered as exotic overseas vegetables in stores - very expensive! I started the slips from 3 s.p. four weeks ago and put the jars outdoors with 10 hours of sunlight. But only one s.p. with beautiful leaves coming out and the other two still only roots and no leaves yet. But even just one s.p. gives more ten 10 leaves for planting then I will be very happy. Thank you again and blessing you.
LuggerMoulin It took quite a while for my sweet potato to begin growing slips. But after a month they started to grow and a lot of them at that. Then it took another long while before it was the ten to fourteen inches that is recommended. I have two slips growing in my greenhouse now with much hope for a good harvest!
I am glad to watch your educational videos it means a lots to me it worth to watch it give some ideal and method how to growth plants deference type,thank you for your videos the best
That is really amazing!!! My only other thought after watching the video was I don't think that it's good for the rest of your food storage to be at 80-90 degrees. I would think that much heat in a small room would be bad for the Crisco I saw toward the back of the room. I would think doing the curing elsewhere would be a good idea so as not to ruin the rest of the food storage.
This looks like my grandfathers yeild! He does one 30 foot row and he has been doing it for 20 plus years... you my friend have started out nicely! Last year we didnt even dig up all of his potatoes because their was so many.
Amazing ! You sound like a kid in a candy store. I was in Spring last weekend... thought about calling you, but it was a quick trip, so couldn't do it. Maybe some other time
That would have been fun. However, I was in Nevada doing some some fire arms training. We did precision rifle, tactical shotgun and hand gun skill builder. Shot about 1,500 rounds in 10 days. It was a blast!
You started out with a 5-gal bucket. "Oh, ye of little faith." Those sweet potatoes you grew are amazing. You are so blessed.
I’m so glad that you reposted this video, it’s my favorite harvesting video, you’re so excited like a kid on Christmas morning, it’s fun to watch, thanks for teaching us, Cindy
So nice of you. It was like Christmas to me. What a great gift. The gift of food!
My jaw is still on the floor David, I'm shocked and in disbelief at this amazing harvest. That's something to be proud of brother. Well done!
I can't wait to see the series. I am storing up so much knowledge. Thanks LDS, you are much appreciated. Janice

I am going to try this in a light soil mixed with peat and sand feeding once a week with my own mixture. Wish me luck!
Chrystaleen McGill You should do fine. Just keep the soil slightly moist. Best of luck to you.
good luck hope im not too late but youll do great

who said anything of christianity- i was talking charity in this reference. there are no adversaries in this existence only disharmony of the whole.
billy pchajek I totally AGREE
Just bought 4 sweet potatoes from the store yesterday to give this a try. You got me all excited and ready to plant. Thanks for sharing this video. :)

WOW what an exciting yield! its a little late now, but im TOTALLY starting my slips today
Thanks for sharing your sweet potato experience and knowledge. We are growing a few in containers this year for the first time.

I am hoping to harvest this summer and try a bit of everything to cure them. Looking forward to Sweet Potato chips!
I am just starting my first garden so I will watch your videos they have some great tips.thanks....
Really enjoyd this whole sweet potato series, very instructive , thankyou :-)
Wow, just 3 plants to start, you are oviously over paying on your tithing to be blessed with such a bountiful harvist ;-) Great job, and thanks for sharing. I have learned alot from your videos.
Love sweet potatoes. Just learned to grow potatoes so this is next. Mouth already watering. Greetings from New Zealand
Amazing harvest! Great job! It was very interesting to watch.

THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING ❤💛💙
This video made me very happy, seeing the results of your hard work.
Also like your use of sawdust & course sand.
Awesome! Just watched your videos on seer potato slips gonna give it a try this afternoon, thanks.
I really like your video I can wait for my first year of planting sweet potatoes I have sandy soil and even got flowers on them I did not use any thing except some fertilizer at the beginning they look great so wish me luck.
Holy cow that is just a great harvest!
One day I hope to have happiness in my life like you have when harvesting sweet potatoes.
Holy cow! Awesome! So wish I could find sawdust in my area.. I am going to try some under black plastic next year! I love sweet potatoes with just butter, salt and pepper!
i love all this Sharing it is great ... thank you so much.
Thank you for filming the excitement of the harvest! Beautiful job! We hope to be doing the same next spring. (not filming, but growing... :--) )
I'm excited. I have one sweet potato and I want to have a garden this summer.
Great job!! I'm putting sweet potatoes on my must-plant list this year!
Amazing...on my way to Mittleider's. Thank you for all the good info!
Our pleasure!
thank you for sharing this i live in Calgary Alberta we have a shorter growing season here but i would still like to try growing some here thanks for the inspiration
Thank you for sharing the whole series of your video. I LOVE sweet potatoes and I am living in France, so the s.p. is considered as exotic overseas vegetables in stores - very expensive! I started the slips from 3 s.p. four weeks ago and put the jars outdoors with 10 hours of sunlight. But only one s.p. with beautiful leaves coming out and the other two still only roots and no leaves yet. But even just one s.p. gives more ten 10 leaves for planting then I will be very happy. Thank you again and blessing you.
LuggerMoulin It took quite a while for my sweet potato to begin growing slips. But after a month they started to grow and a lot of them at that. Then it took another long while before it was the ten to fourteen inches that is recommended. I have two slips growing in my greenhouse now with much hope for a good harvest!
Thank you for sharing your experience, Dolly Perry.
I love watching you pick the crop!
Fantastic crop!! Well done.
that is wonderful I grow potato last year and was very disappointed this year I will try this way thanks will let you know how it goes
Those are the fattest, nicest sweet potatoes on UA-cam. Well done
I am glad to watch your educational videos it means a lots to me it worth to watch it give some ideal and method how to growth plants deference type,thank you for your videos the best
Wow! Amazing harvest.
Nice haul!! Merry Christmas from West Valley City, Utah.
I am so inspired by this video that I have watched do many times.
That is a great harvest of sweet potatoes 🥔
WOW! That is the best harvest I have ever seen.
amazing sweet potatoes.. good harvest... I like it ..
That is really amazing!!! My only other thought after watching the video was I don't think that it's good for the rest of your food storage to be at 80-90 degrees. I would think that much heat in a small room would be bad for the Crisco I saw toward the back of the room. I would think doing the curing elsewhere would be a good idea so as not to ruin the rest of the food storage.
Absolutely amazing job. I only wish I had the space for that. I'm getting there.
This looks like my grandfathers yeild! He does one 30 foot row and he has been doing it for 20 plus years... you my friend have started out nicely!
Last year we didnt even dig up all of his potatoes because their was so many.
Wow! Looks Like you're going to have to build a very TALL Potato drying rack!
WOW!!!! Beautiful harvest!
wow😯...great harvest...thanks for the videos
Wow very impressed with that yield.
I see your wife got the job done while you crowed about the yield......good work Mrs. LDS.
I was thinking the same thing!

Yeah she shows up for the easy work of pulling them out. He did everything else. What r you one of those feminists?
best harvest i've seen so far.
Amazing !
You sound like a kid in a candy store.
I was in Spring last weekend... thought about calling you, but it was a quick trip, so couldn't do it. Maybe some other time
That would have been fun. However, I was in Nevada doing some some fire arms training. We did precision rifle, tactical shotgun and hand gun skill builder. Shot about 1,500 rounds in 10 days. It was a blast!
He is more like a kid in a potato store!
