  • Hi Guys! Here's a really simple way to grow sweet potato slips. I prefer using soil to grow them instead of water. It makes them grow faster than water too! Be sure to watch my other videos on how to prepare for your harvest as well. Enjoy!

    For those that don't know you can eat sweet potato leaves, they are comparable to spinach and many people grow them just for the leaves and not the SP to use in salads or as wraps like lettuce or anywhere you would use spinach.

      @@rbellionrises9851 just cut off some of the ends of the green shoots after a large amount of growth covers the ground. The vines will put out multiple growths at the end like trimming upright plants.

    My grandpa gave me a cardboard box of sweet potatoes from his garden (to eat) but I left them in on top of my rain barrel for several weeks and forgot about them. When I discovered them I figured they wouldn't be any good but to my surprise, they had all grown some tubers. I had 8 of them so I made 8 mounds from my compost pile in a large circle about 20 feet in diameter. In a few DAYS, all of them had tons of leaves growing. They have been in the ground now a month and are growing out of control. The vines have run across the ground to the neighboring mound and have sort of connected. It looks really cool. I had no clue how to grow them but it seems like I did exactly the right thing.

    A few weeks ago I bought a sweet potato at the grocery store. I kinda forgot about it. Then when I decided to eat it, it had shoots all over it. I was ready to pitch it but then I felt guilty and cruel because it had so many shoots. You can tell it was so determined to live so I planted it. :)

    • @wendiland
      @wendiland  8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      +dmarcus1260 Yay! You won't regret it when it's time for harvest. :) Sweet potato leaves are edible too! Checkout my other video on how to cook them. Happy Gardening!

    Great video! I just started my gardening channel and recorded my how to grow sweet potato vid, but haven't posted it yet. I usually do the water method, but it was neat to see your success with the soil method. Love that you understand and know about the manure from cows being GMO. Great seeing other fellow gardeners caring about their soil health. Loved this!

    i was given a clipping from a sweet potato vine a couple years back. I basically stuck the cut end in the ground and walked away. I watered the bed a few times but not with any sort of regularity. A few months later, lo and behold, sweet potatoes. Not many but a few.

    I am in southern california zone 10b. In my zone, they grow year round. The vines never turn yellow to indicate that it's ready to be harvested, instead I have to keep track of when I planted which one when, so I know when to harvest. Just before harvesting, I started new plants from vine cuttings and still get the tubers. I also found that the vines that just get harvested can be replanted and will produce some more tubers.

    • @rebeccaspratling2865
      @rebeccaspratling2865 ปีที่แล้ว +1
