Very Informative. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes, Lord-Jesus-Christ com
How did the yield from each pot differ in terms of weight?
I love watching the harvest it's inspiring
Thanks so much for showing the difference in the two containers with different numbers of slips.
Easier way than growing slips: All you have to do is buy some sweet potatoes and let them sit at a warm room temperature for a month or two until they start to sprout. Then you can cut the potato in half or thirds, making sure there's at least one sprout per potato, or plant the whole potato. I got a HUGE harvest this past fall from about 20 tubers doing it this way.
Thanks again!

Crunchy Emily that’s how I grow all my potatoes. There’s no need to make clones like this
I had a sweet potato on my bowl on the counter under some fruit...it has green leaves coming out all over it...can I cut this out and plant it or leave it to grow more...the little leaves are about one inch tall..lots of them...thanks
Thanks for this!!!
I’m taking mine out of the water right now! Stinking water and disappointment ( darn things rot in the water) kept me from planting and harvesting just one sweet potato thats all I wish for not once in my life😭😭😭😭. Merci
Gary your channel is awesome I went from so nervous and not knowing anything to extremely confident and knowleable!! You have videos for everything!! Thank you!

Thanks for the video!! Alittle late for this year but will plan for next year. Love the container idea since I only have a large patio.
It works and always good to learn and apply to next year. That is what I still do.
Great info! So grateful you show us the entire process and comparisons.
Glad to make it.

I'm telling you I brought one potato made sure I got the one where it had good roots on the end I cut it in half planted water and about a month later as I'm watering I notice potatos starting to stick thru the dirt and I find three full fat potatos y'all should try it... I'm a farmer now 😂😂
Nice

Planting some today in Texas just like this video... I will be using 10 and 20 gallon cloth grow bags.... Thanks Gary.!
That should work. Good luck.
Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) Thanks!
How did grow bags work out? I have some that are only 7 gallon and wonder if I’m wasting my time
I l🥰ve Maryland. I lived in the tiny Town of Crisfield many years ago & was deeply impressed how their Spring starts in February💮🌸💐🦠🌷🌼🌻🌺🌹🏵️Which is typically the time of year that New England gets the worst of the snow ❄️freezing rain🌧️ 💧⛄☃️& ice. 🌨️🌀
when you use containers to grow sweet potatos when you go to dig them up do not cut the vines off tip the container over get the potatos out then tip the container upright and put the dirt etc and vines back in container and keep it watered and the vines or slips I call them vines will grow another crop of potatos that is just an idea I use might be heipful to others
Thanks
I'm growing normal potatoes indoors in felt sacks with shredded cardboard substrate. Do you think this would work with sweet potatoes?? Thanks.. :)
This is a great idea. I have to try this!
Yummy they look so good. Nice harvest!
Thanks
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Thank you.

Wow what a simple and great process. Thx soooo much for this. I live in NJ so I assume I can start the beginning process within next few months indoors for the potatoes in jars. 👍🏻
So good too.

Thanks for this, really glad I found your channel. Now I know I should plant more than 2 slips in each container. For me, I prefer quantity over the huge sweet potato. I don't really need to eat a huge one at one time, but one of the potatoes from the second container would go great in a meal. Thats a good amount for that size container. Thanks again! Aloha!
Very glad to help. Good luck.
Keep up the great videos!
I sure will

Great video Gary I see what your talking about I tried growing sweet potatoes in a container I ended up with about three or four medium-sized sweet potatoes
Im sure the varieties matter too. Ill have to reseach some differences.
I'd rather have 3 or 4 eating size ones than the long skinny tubers I got.
Now i will try this
The timing for growing the slips is highly dependant on temperature. Take them indoors for better results.
Thanks
I agree, I started mine indoors too.
Love your work! Especially shorter vids! Tnx!
Glad to share. Lots of short videos on there. Appreciated.

Nice harvest. I tried growing sweet potatoes in 5 gallon buckets and harvested only one large sweet potato and a couple of tiny tubers. Going to try larger pots next year.
I am going to mix up the varieties next year.
Thank you very much for the information! I recently forgot about some sweet potatoes I had under the counter, and they started growing some (weirdly pretty) pink and yellow shoots, and quite large ones at that. So I decided I would pretend like I did that on purpose and learn how to grow them. Found your video and I've got my first greenery on one of the potatoes! Can't wait to see how it turns out. I've never grown any food before so it'll be great if I get results out of this. Thanks again for the help!
Good luck!

My favorite thing about sweet potatoes is that the greens are also edible. You can trim the young shoots off the vine and that will cause the sweet potato vine to grow more greens. Use them like spinach.
I try to eat them all them time but just dont like them.

I just found your very helpful and informative video, Gary. I am growing sweet potatoes in a 20 gal black grow bag. The multiple vines have reached about 10 feet long and are taking over my patio. They covered and killed my lettuce by rooting themselves in the lettuce's containers. My sister told me to use the leaves in omelets, salads, and soups, but there are far too many. I would like to know if I can cut off some of these vines and plant them in my field, which is finally ready for sowing???
I am in FL 9b, and our first hard freeze will be Christmas day. Thanks for any advice you choose to share. I truly love your channel!
I love this! Thank you for the information. I'm going to give this a try this year ❤️. Just out of curiosity does anyone know if you can consume the potatoes you grow the slips out of after you collect what you want? Or do you just keep it in the water and allow it to keep growing more
Hmmmm. Never tried.

Wow! Fertilizer every 2 weeks! Question: How do you protect them from Aphids? I put my 2 buckets of sweet potatoes outside ( l also grow indoors in the winter as l have grow lights) last November as we had 3 days in a row of 65 degree weather which is unheard of in this area. What l didn't count on was the plants being attacked by Aphids. They basically decimated the plants before l found out what was going on. I still have 1 little plant left. I honestly don't know how it survived but Diatromatrious Earth was a HUGE game changer & really helped. I heard that the more fertilizer you use, the more the plant attracts Aphids but yours look like they're very strong & healthy. Very nice👍
Nice video I grow the slips cut them and in the container not in water for 2 weeks still works
Nice.

looks like you've got wood sorrel growing in your container. They are delicious bonus food! A nice addition to salads, as it gives a sorta apple cider vinegar flavor :)
Ah thanks.
I am using large rimmed 55gal barrel halves, and i coil rhe vine around the inner edge of the pot so i can use those vine for more slips ditectly.

Hi, I have some left over sweet potatoes left over from Thanksgiving, they have started to sprout shoots all on their own, today is Dec. 22, 2018, will I be able to root the shoots and plant them at this time of year? I live in Southern New Mexico. Thank you so much for your video, before I watched your video I was thinking that I would plant the S.P. just like potatoes, placing the whole S.P. in the ground. So glad I found your channel, I am an amateur Gardener, I am growing veggies in pots and celery on the ground, my potatoes are doing well, though we have had some frost, I cover them at night with hay and a netting cover over to protect the tender plants.
If it is warm, yes. grow them as vines.
Thanks for the video showing your planting methods and the harvest..
I grew sweet potato in a box. the vines ran long distance over the yard and crop wasn't that good. Should I train the vines on sticks like this next time?
Yep go vertically. I and doing that this year

Stumbled onto your video looking up sweet potatoes. Do you think I could plant 1 slip in a 5 gal bucket or do I need deeper containers. I have at least 25 5 gal buckets I was hoping to use. My slips are only about an inch high so I'm getting things ready... so excited...never grew anything but houseplants, but this year I'm trying real food!
I had such a let down this year. We had 16 slips and we did both buckets and a large raised area & yes I had to pull my Sweets because a possible rat issue in September (Zone 7), but many of my potatoes were undersized in fact tiny. I did have one massive sweet potato that was the probably 5 pounds it self(my theory is that it ate the others). Next year i have 2 raised beds that i am going to create a trellis to over hang both and let the vines run up and over hopefully the deeper rich soil will work.
How did you do with the feedings. They can suck the life out of the soil. I stayed up on the feedings this year and think I can do a little bit better.
Gary Pilarchik (The Rusted Garden) I did stop mid summer. My slips went crazy and they were in a great chicken manure mixture.
Bird waste and fish waste can easily be overdone. That may be your problem
Oh my wow
It works!

Great video, it perfectly answered my questions. What water soluble fertilizer would you recommend with a high phosphorus and potassium percentage?
Alaska Morbloom has a 0-10-10. I see it with Fish Fertilizer 5-1-1.
I'll start with my own sweet potato plant 🇵🇭

Thanks for the info on starting/planting. I’ve read where sweet potatoes have to be treated some way after harvesting. I can’t remember if it’s drying or what. Is there anything that you do?
I dont do anything. You might have read about curing them for storage but I dont do that. I eat them too fast.

Glad to help.
Thanks so much for this Gary! Do I have to use a fertilizer with an NPK or can I use worm castings? If so, how often should I use them?
Worm casting isn't enough. You'd need so much. You need a granular with NPK.

I'm brand new to this container gardening,I started 2 weeks ago but I just used a 5 gallon container and I just planted a 3 pack set of sweet potatoes 🥔 what should I do next and your video was very helpful??? (New Jersey)
Now it's really keeping up the water. When you get a good amount of growth you can start giving them water soluble fertilizer every 2 weeks.
Thanks. This is how you can support my creation of videos.

Those leaves of your sweet potatoes are the best for Salads, clean them boil them for few seconds they are nutritious.. I love them.. I eat them raw too..
Thanks

Nice video. I just planted some sweet potatoes this year, but I didn’t use any fertilizer or nothing. Just been watering them is all. I haven’t dig them up yet, so not sure if it’s producing anything. What type of fertilizer and other stuff I should be putting on it? Thanks
I used fish emulsion over the season every once and a while. They take a good long time to produce.
If we could get 3,000 people to donate $5, that would be perfect.... Thanks!

WOW!
I was surprised.
I'm in NC mountains and want to see if I can do this indoors if possible on my porch due to GSM. What would I do differently? I have slips now ready. Will I have to worry about pests indoors? If so should I plant some mint next to it? Lots of questions, thanks!
You do have to worry about pests as the eco system is all messed up. No good insects around. Youll have to figure out what insect killer so to speak you would want to use indoors. Mint wont help in this case. Good luck.Please check out my seed and garden shop at www.therustedgarden.com
