I discuss the 5 keys to growing large sweet potatoes and having a bigger harvest. I cover fertilizing in depth and go over how to increase phosphorous and potassium for root crops.
Once the slips are grown, as in the videos below, just plant them every 10-12 inches a part and water them in with fish emulsion.

I planted some sweet potatoes in a straw bale this year and it totally blew my mind. It almost completely filled the bale. Crazy. Definitely doing more like that next year. Also I did use high nitrogen liquid fertilizer periodically. I honestly didn’t think it was going to work. I was just experimenting but it worked!

I had few good ones and lots of skinny skinny ones but they were perfect tasting and I felt good eating them with no chemicals.

I grew Sweet Potatoes in a raised bed for the first time this year and by pure accident had a bumper crop, I did not know about pruning them back so my patio looked like Jurassic Park , I and my youngest Granddaughter harvested the last of them on Nov. 23 as I live on the Texas Coast and we are still getting 80's for high temps and the 90 % humidity that are needed for proper curing , I do want to say Great Video to Mr. Pilarchick as I learned more in the first 3 minutes than anyone else has ever told me about sweet potatoes and very useful information , the Y-Tube algo finally did me some good today !

I didn't know until last year that you can eat the sweet potato leaves has a lot of vitamins and they are quite good, you can blanch and freeze them try it

The first thing I did with my sweet potato harvest was to bake two sweet potato pies. Yummy. I've also added sweet potatoes to pot roast and of course baked sweet potato and top with brown sugar and butter. Sweet potato is probably one of my favorite vegetables.

I tried 2 dif pots one fabric and one plastic… got a huge 4lb monster (check my vid) in the 5 gal fab pot and 2 little ones in the plastic pot. No fertilizer ever…. Just water. My vines had flowers constantly. Will def use the fab pots only and will be planting tons next year….. thanks for your tips because I will use the cutting back of the vines trick. Love from a MD born current Jersey girl!!

I grew Covington variety this year…so sweet, no pests, and in fact, just whipped up a bunch with butter, cream, bit of cinnamon and maple syrup…this will be YUMMY for Thanksgiving dinner!

Here in Oklahoma, we chose to harvest our sweet potatoes When the daytime temperatures are around 80 to 85°, typically end of September into October. October 15 was a good time for me this year. I was able to cure my sweet potatoes outside which provided the humidity.

@lidip8700

Because my slip have very little leaves, I give it a booster of [N] like Miracle-Gro & a bit of Fish Emulsion, at planting, plus some bone meal.

I've set up cattle panel & concrete mesh rings lined with scap landscape fab/ double lined cardboard open to the bottom. Drove in 3-4 rebar stakes to keep shape. At the end of the season, cut the zip ties at joined section & harvest. Little to no digging with a fork/ shovel. The potatoes spill out. Works for sweets & whites.

I'm curing my sweet potatoes in a clear plastic tub on top of a 48x20 seed heat mat with a 64oz jar of water and kept at 85 degrees for 10-14 days. This way I no need to convert a room or closet. easy peasy. Mine were in the bag 15 gallon, for 179 days! Nice sized too. Just wish we had seasons here in central CA zone 9a so they never put fertilizers on sale.

@daninraleigh

Good info. I'm still looking for exactly how to plant slips.

My mother just gave me an awesome way she cured her sweet potatoes. She had a skinny shelving unit she put in her bathroom. She said she would just lay them on shelves and roll it into her bathroom for a couple weeks. After that she rolled the shelves into her storage cupboard or i can use a closet. Going to try that for my first time curing. She also said i can put in garage once cured. Just keep them in single layers to make checking easier.

Planted some this year in a couple of cardboard boxes. Only had about 4 plants but got about 20 or so potatoes. Several were good size and most were around 1/2 pound or less. I didn't trim vines much but also didn't fertilize but about once per month or less.

I buy the cheap soil with humus and mix it with pine shaving (used for baby chicks) and the mixture is very loose and mine grow really well.

Thank you Gary! I never got mine in last summer. Now I know how! My 1st garden here in Georgia clay (but 80yr pasture soil) was such a success that I couldn't keep up with it all! All of your videos helped!!!!

@spir5102

Great explanation! Love your hands-on approach.

@windyloom2267 2 года назад

Thanks this is going to help me. Mine were small this year.

@libertyandjustus8258

This is an awesome video ! I've never grown sweet potatoes before. But I feel like it's possible to be successful after watching this ! Thank you so much for your clear instructions of what to add and why. 😊
