    It's so great seeing you're as nuts about Stout Ollie as I am. I've been using it for years and there is just nothing better. The company is in Eloree SC, not that far away from where I live so all the feed stores and garden supply places here sell it. Don't know how far away they sell it but it's sure worth every cent, best compost ever. They don't call it "'Mater Maker" for nothing :)

    • @skgreenhouse
      @skgreenhouse  10 місяців тому +3

      You are right!! It's definitely more popular in SC, where you live. I discovered it about 3 years ago and I love it!! It's probably some of the best compost on the market.

    💡 I’ve seen someone do experiment on the number of plants in a container. As it turns out the fewer plants in one container, the bigger tuber.
    ❓ What would you do if you slips began to rot in water? (Small already shooting) Can I cut the rotten part off and keep them in water to grow more roots/ cut off the rotten part and insert into some soil? 🧐

    I tried sweet potato got nearly discouraged as some slips wilted. However good thing is they are usually good in number or try to have several to make up for loss. What I also read is to cut of the part on the slip between the tuber and slip at the bottom, which helped a lot.
