Don’t Make THIS Mistake Planting Sweet Potatoes!

[timmmmmmmmmmy]

Senior citizen, mineral tubs, 1 slip only. The environment is changing. That means it's getting more challenging. Oklahoma is short on rain. The anti perspirate being sprayed above is working. If you've lived the last few years with eyes wide open you know you had better step up your game . Our garden went Ruth Stout last year . Must have soil moisture. Last years potatoes was good, sweet potatoes not so much. Lack of water. 2 slated storm's recently, we got no rain. Glad I'm of mindset that I had the drippage going. Chemicals in foods, herbicides in hay. A gardener who look's to put up their produce needs to evaluate any and all ingredients going into the garden. Did grandma and grandpa buy soil ? No they did not. 😊 food is medicine and ours wants to come from the backyard. Easy and normal are out the window 😊. Nuff said.

For potassium I use ground up banana skin in the soil trying to keep as natural as possible and use egg shells ground up for calcium.

That's a thing of beauty. I experimented with growing my own slips late last year. This year I'm ready. Another plus with sweet potato slips is that you can eat the leaves! Nothing goes to waste.

Those sweet potatoes plants are SO healthy. I grew a beautiful vine a few years ago. But had tiny tiny potatoes. They were big enough to taste . Had good soil that was enriched with compost & was loose & not heavy. Im going to try again this year. I like growing in anything that will hold dirt! Have a good rest of the day.

I have about twelve of those type of containers I got when I was moving into this apartment. Now I think I will use them to grow sweet potatoes and close them up when I harvest. Thank you, they were just stacked in the closet doing nothing 😊

We are learning planting sweet potatoes, sharing too from Katy city .

I loved when you said, " I'm excited to see what we do this year!!!".... Its hard to find a Christian woman who gets excited and serious about a garden crop. I am of like mind and also get excited.

I have new slips started. We have time to grow them, so, do over. I lost all of the first round. Time to pull up my britches and get back at it. I just started some suckers from my lost tomato plants. Praying they pull through and grow up to be stronger, healthier plants for round 2, this spring.

Your channel is such a blessing to me! I finally found someone with experience and knowledge in my same grow zone and I feel like I cant get enough of your videos! I just drink it up! Thanks for sharing all you do, God bless you!

Good morning Ms Jill! I had not planned to grow any sweet potatoes this year, but I might since I have a couple of extra 27gal tubs. A quick question. Did you bore more drain holes or was the single hole on the wicking tub setup enough for drainage? Thanks for showing us how you guys grow things! Have a blessed day!

Thanks for the vid…adding to my knowledge of Sweet Pot growing, first time this year 🤞best wishes from the U.K. 🙏

For good tubs see if you can find some used mineral lick tubs from a beef farmer. Those tubs are 20 to 25 gallons, and excellent for growing sweet potatoes.

I tried to grow some slips but no luck so I ordered some. I'm waiting for them to arrive, I've never grown them before, but my beds all ready,

[Itriedtakennames]

Thanks for giving your average of 7 pounds yield per 27 gallon tub. I want to give sweet potatoes a try and that is a nice benchmark to see if the first crop has a decent or a low yield (probably the latter, I manage to hit all the beginners mistakes in gardening).

That's some nasty plastic to be growing in especially roots

[austinj]

Next year will be my second year growing Sweet Potatoes. This year was my first and it was all right but not spectacular. I grow almost everything in raised beds. Probably going to have to use some potassium supplements next year is my guess.

Overwintering a pot of growing slips sure makes it easier to plant come Spring! Blessings
