Grow More Sweet Potatoes FAST & CHEAP!

Here is everything I used:

Growing your own sweet potato slips can save a lot of money but I have always hated the soak it in water technique. It requires a lot of water changes, goes REALLY SLOW, and in the end you have to root your cuttings again! This method literally took 20 days to produce the slips you see here and they came with roots! Now I can just buy my favorite sweet potatoes at the store and grow infinite sweet potatoes whenever I want! Burying the slips as they emerge is the key to getting more roots, the wet soil or vermiculite encourages the roots to form since they are kept moist rather than exposed to air.

Where's the link to get one of those kits?

The squirrels on my property ate all my sweet potato vines. I couldn’t figure out how one squirrel was eating so much then one morning I found a gang of 4 of them all over the planter one keeping lookout 😂

Please try this method too.

1. Plant one sweet potato directly on soil and let it grow naturally and let the vines mature.
2. After cut half of the vines and make cuttings of about a foot and half long and plant them again. Keep 2 feet distance between the cuttings. They will root in 15 to 20 days
3. Now you get so many baby vines and lots and lots of potatoes

This is an actual farming method we follow here in India. All we need is few potatoes and now we have seedlings for half an acre.

Edit: corrected spelling. Also this works only for sweet potatoes and won’t work on normal potatoes.

You can also use sweet potato leaves in stew and soups or salad.

Cut the top and bottom about 1-2 inches thick. Eat the middle. Burry the two pieces cut side down - keep area moist- you will get a lot of baby plants. I have it all over my garden.

[Madenthewest]

I am fascinated with smart people like you

[lovedev]

I just planted the whole thing 🤷🏽‍♀️ waiting to see what happens so far the twigs have grown leaves and it's beautiful

[loverlyredhead]

Just tried this with my sweet potatoes after failing the water method last year. Fingers crossed.

In tropical Florida (no freeze in winter) I have 2 patches of sweet potatoes (one patch are purple inside, one orange inside) all from doing this, except outside. I go out and clip and cut slips and replant them to create a patch. No work anymore, except digging when I want to harvest some. Yard-forgaing❤ 😂

If you have one potato. You have endless potatoes.

Man I just threw mine in the garden, pulled it up like a month later, got rid of the “food waste” re-planted what was left and left it alone for 6 more months, a week ago we just harvested 3.5 kgs

[PegsGarden]

That is a great way, I just stick my sweet potatoes in the ground and they just grow slips for me, I have had my 2 sweet potatoes in the ground growing slips since November here in Central Florida.

Thank you! This short, concise video was exactly what I needed to get started.

Sweet potato leaves when used in soup make water taste sweeter on your next sip.

[Richfxx]

If you already have sweet potatoes, just trim the vines remove all the leaves but the top mostly leaf put it in a water bottle for a week and you have a routed slips

[fuyuscarlet]

Btw don't forget, you can eat the sweet potato leaves by stir fry it.

BRILLIANT! Just started mine. Plenty of time before planting out in 6b!
