Airborne Sweet Potato Farming

Airborne Sweet Potato Farming

Look, farmers in China are growing sweet potatoes in mid-air! This incredible method uses a nutrient solution instead of soil, with vines hanging freely while the roots stay in a special substrate, absorbing water and nutrients. The most impressive part? You can harvest sweet potatoes directly from the vines without disturbing the plant—meaning the vines keep growing, allowing for continuous harvesting!

This soilless technique is not only space-efficient but also boosts yield quality. Since the roots absorb nutrients separately from the tubers, the plants grow more efficiently. In fact, harvesting the tubers doesn’t affect the vines at all, allowing the sweet potatoes to continue swelling for later harvesting. Plus, this method avoids damaging the vines, unlike traditional harvesting where both vines and tubers are uprooted.

By using vertical space and optimizing nutrient absorption, aerial sweet potato cultivation ensures high-quality yields, making it perfect for sustainable farming. Could this be the future of farming in tight spaces?

It’s real, but a bit more complicated than it appears in the video. According to the report, it was grafted to another species of vine (the thick vine leading from the soil), then the sweet potatoes were grown in a pot hanging in midair, which was later removed. It’s not really for production but more of a fun project by a professional gardener.

Am glad here in Zambia we don't have such type of farming we wait for the season to eat foods like sweet potato, maize and mushroom we don't force nothing to grow around here we wait for the right time to eat natural and healthy food grown in the beautiful God given African soil 😊

චින්නු කරොත් කරන්නේ අදහාගන්න බැරි දෙයක්.. හොද වැඩක්.❤️

I’m sure they taste different from the traditional soil-planted version. 👏🏽

Wow, this is so extraordinary amazing out of this world. I've never ever seen anything like it. omg😮😊❤

[kellyalotalaurao]

So this is achievable it's Amazing 😊❤

[emceeshrutitripathi]

I think it still grows the best under soil as the quality would be more

Inacreditável plantas da terra dar aeria parabéns. Brasil 🇧🇷.

I want to try it very interesting thanks for sharing ❤

[davidcleveland]

That is so cool. It's amazing how they come up with such great ideas ❤

It's amazing to see Sweet Potatoes growing in the air

[vilmadoles]

There’s no harm in trying to do this… I like it😊

Are these not contributing to a lot of weird illnesses all over the world? Natural farming remains the best to me.

É a primeira vez que vejo batata doce cultivada lonje do solo, será que isso é normal ? O sabor e nutrientes permanece na batata ? Pois o solo tem grande importância para os alimentos. Por aqui, no Brasil plantamos usando o método normal! No solo. E um método a ser pesquisado, mas parabens pela sua técnica de plantar as batatas doce ❤❤🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

Vraiment excellent 👍 j'adore leurs intelligence 🥰

Top demais meu amigo que trabalho muito bom e arte

I can always taste the difference between tomatoes which grow in the real soil and tomatoes which were produced on coco coir bricks and the nutrients were added to the water because the soil has none any longer. It's a huge difference. A healthy soil produces healthy food. I am strongly against destroying the soil and using chemicals instead. Farming is about balance and working with nature, not against it. The Netherlands have many such space and costs saving ideas and their food taste horrible.

[alvirasamuels]

Not sure about solution, is it natural ? Good method but I am concern about chemicals in my food.

It's very amazing to see sweet potatoes like that 🥰🥰😋😋😋
