@@jacquesinthegarden Hi. Can there be a homemade version of the heat mat?

Obvious that the owner of the channel made a fake account and left this comment for advertisement

@@daviddoyonjr5774 that's ok. I found a product that I like !!!

Squirrel goes great with sweet potato

@@CookinCatWithMesoMatt 😆😆

There's a lot of squirrels in my neighborhood but there's a colony of feral cats living in my back yard so I haven't had that issue lol.

Cuuuute!

😂 Thanks for the heads up!

This is what I'm doing with large containers 👍🏻

@Jeevan Raj Do you put the sweet potato on top of the soil like he did?

@@MaLiArtworks186 we burry it 2 inches deep.

@@jeevanraj5305 Thanks

Nice tips! Thank you! ☘️

What do they taste like. Thanks

@@krisredlee it's like spinach

Can’t wait so I have to put the sweet potatoes on a heated Mac I don’t have one

@@krisredleelike dirt

Nice!

Me too! And the plants are growing beautifully and tall!

You have to separate the slips from the sweet potato. If you don't, you wont get any more sweet potatoes. You'll still have just one potato at the end of summer.

⁠@@goodcitizen3780what’s the best way to separate them? I’m a newbie baby planter that’s watching nine million hours of YT for how to do things lol

Yes

Precisely. I like the both the Japanese purple fleshed variety and the maroon-skinned, yellow-fleshed kind. This technique is terrific. I tried a technique similar to this from a pile of cruddy soil mixed in with some rotting leaves. Worked a charm. Don't overpay for sweet potatoes ever again.

Exactly what I have now in my pantry. Tomorrow I will plant it in soil. I usually just put them in a ziplock bag and close it up. They grow really fast.

Yup doing this now with Korean sweet potatoes to see if i can grow a stach to keep on hand, way too expensive at HMart!

Either that, or mound them up every couple of weeks

Agreed. Leave one leaf out. You will get a large amount to harvest. I just planted 2 vines like this in a huge dresser drawer.

Now, this us brilliant!!! Does this work for tomatoes too?

​@@margoreid7094 yes it does!!

I let mine get a 18-24 inch vines then start covering the leave mode and . Bam more roots in the ground, or coil them round and round in a 15-25 gallon potting bucket and more and more roots contained to one space

Interesting, Ive never tried them . I will have to give them a try.

Beets & radishes are the best!

Try this... Put the potatoes in water upsidedown! Fat side down. This way they root as they grow! No need to grow slips then root them. Do it at the same time! Perfect!

What?! Those are my favorites

I am lazy like that. Just plant the potatoes. And it’s way cheaper for me to keep going to the health food store to get different varieties as they come into season, than buy seed potatoes.

I need this too!!! I’m reading comments thinking “but what the heck is the slip part?!” Lmao

@@jamee_maree I think the slip is the vine with some roots. Last fall I started growing sweet potatoes without knowing it because I have pretty severe ADHD. So I stuck the vines in water and they’ve been growing roots all winter. I kept cutting them and putting the cuttings in water to make more, since I didn’t know how many I would need. I haven’t planted them yet. I got books on gardening and watched tons of RU-vids, all for these damn sweet potatoes. After figuring out all the things that could go wrong and strategizing how not to kill them, then I found out you have to cure them after harvest at certain temperatures I don’t even know if I can do. So, now I have tons of slips I don’t even know if I’ll plant. If sweet potatoes cost $30 a piece it would seem worth the trouble. But sweet potatoes are so cheap. These are purple sweet potatoes so I thought the anthocyanins might help my depression but the likelihood of failure might only make me more depressed. How are vegetables not more expensive?! Are you going to plant some? Have you grown anything else yet?

Why not try it again now?

Do the water method again too but this time put the fat end in the water, not the skinny end. Rooted slips just as fast.

Theoretically you can get unlimited slips from one potato

His update video showed about 12 sweet potatoes from one slip

Put it fat side down in water. Change water every few days. It will grow slips and roots just as fast with less uncertainty.

There are a hundred varieties. You only see the one kind in U.S. markets. Probably because of the Thanksgiving tradition use. There are many varieties that aren’t super sweet, some are dry, some are more juicy. I won’t supply a link because most states have shipping restrictions for sweet potatoes. Just put sweet potato slips with your state and you should get a few hits.

Yes. You can just bury it upside down, fat side down. Also you can do it in water upside down as well

Roots go down Sprouts grow up.

Yes! Super fast. Best method.

Amazon has them. It is just as the name implies, a mat that produces heat for germinating seeds.

👌🏾

How can anyone tell with you not giving any information. Are you drunk?

Depends on where in Oregon
