I wish I had known this tip for growing sweet potatoes sooner 

In my country Zambia, we eat the sweet potatoes leaves too. So yummy 😋

Do you find this method of growing sweet potatoes useful for you? Please let me know your opinion

What a fascinating technique for growing sweet potatoes. I have been told that sweet potatoes don't grow well here in desert mountains because it gets too cold at night during the summer, even though our daytime temperatures can be hot. If I used insulated containers, my results might be better. Thanks.

I have grown sweet potatoes for the past two summers in a 10 X 20 garden. That gives us a years supply...they are SO easy to grow.

Amazing garden project! Thank you for sharing your garden video. Its beautiful ..... ❤

Most exciting and impressive and excellent. We got the land so we are going to try this this summer. Many thanks from a sweet potato lover in Canada! :-)

You busy throwing away those leaves 😮 if only you knew how delicious they make a dish 😅😊😂. Best way of growing sweet potatoes so far.

I can’t wish to harvest my own potatoes this year ❤. Thank you for sharing!

You could use a grow bag inside the polystyrene boxes.. Or make a wooden frame if you don't want contact with plastic

hmm... I just bought some 10 gallon strawberry bags, with the pockets.... I'm thinking I might try a variation of this idea with one of those. I like the idea of putting the slips into the pockets at the various levels of the bag. I'm going to put a piece of pvc pipe with holes in it, down the center, to make sure water gets throughout the bag. Thanks for showing us this method.

Great tips!! And you know that sweet potato leaves ate delicious when cooked.

Good idea to mitigate hot temperatures with the Styrofoam. I do think you could get better quality sized potatoes and yield by only planting one or two slips per container. Thanks for a good idea. I have grown them a few different ways by raised fixed beds and hilling on the ground in a modified French bed covered with black plastic covered with straw to regulate temperature. Sweet potatoes like the soil warm about 1-2 inches a week water or rain. The soil should never be dry or over wet during the tuber expansion stage beyond 40 days after the slip is planted. Also slips should be light filtered for the first week or two while they establish roots and leaves.

My mini donkeys would love to visit your sweet potato patch. Prior to the drought we had in Houston, Texas last summer, my mini donkeys never touched anything in the garden except the grass and some herbs. But with the lack of fresh greens last summer, my mini donkeys discovered my sweet potato raised bed and ate most of the leaves from it several times. I still got sweet potatos, but not many. But the donkeys got what the needed. No loss there.

Yes usefulled very much.I will try on top roof my house

طريقة رائعة.. أول مرة أراها. شكراً كثيييير

VERY INTERESTING ! it would be nice if it wasn't so vague and there were some verbal instructions - but certainly worth a try ! TY

This is a very nice technique. I bet elevating the coolers helps to avoid nematodes.

I love eating potatoes. I often buy them at the supermarket and take them home to roast. Now I can grow my own potatoes at home. Thank you for sharing.❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you Asia for giving us the asian tuber sweet potato...we love them. Great video!

What is the average temperature in your area during the growing season?

I am going to try this! Thank you.

Were they watered through the pop bottles? If so, how iften?

I am trying this one for sure

What is the salt for?

❤❤❤. What a sweet pup!

Thanks JOHN, I will grow sweet potatoes too 😍😍

It’s delicious the leaves I try but no success I well try again this year hope I do God bless well done to your video

How marvelous to grow so much in this way in containers! Thank you.

Amazing!!!!! You did a great job. I’m just starting my sweet potato planting-I’m sure I’ll not be as productive as you, however you have motivated me to try 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I really enjoyed this. Language should never be a barrier when we have eyes. Awesome brother ❤️💐😃

This is absolutely beautiful! 😊

❤love the video ,the music, thankyou for subtitles for the mixes....appreciated

One of the best gardeners i know ❤😊

I really like this video, it's very interesting to watch. really amazing.

VERY EASY TO FOLLOW. THANK U!

Thank you for teaching us..❤❤🔥🔥🙏🏼🙏🏼

ahhh....cutting styrofoam, they make it look easy.......discovered the best way is to keep the blade wet. You won't get nearly as much 'stuff' drifting or sticking to the blade . I just wish I liked sweet potatoes, but I wonder if it works for regular ones too - must

That’s awesome I want to do this outside my garden ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Thanks! So beautiful, I love the foliage of sweet potatoes.

I will be doing this same thing this year John. Thanks fells too.

Beautiful video .How to store sweet potatoes,how long will they last.🙏🏾ty

Really love this. Fundamentals of growing. Look the rest up for yourself, he cannot explain x years of knowledge. Excellent. Thank you

I like to use a more natural container. But, yes the basic idea is fantastic!

Amazing video and crop❤️

The bell pepper is watchin' him so hard👀🫑

Very creative.

Beautiful harvest..thanks for Sharing the technique..no talking needed at all...

I could have used a voiceover or a written description. There are lots of interesting things about how you're growing, so I couldn't figure out which one was the tip! I also wondered why you were pruning the vines--food, slips, bigger sweet potatoes?

Excellent idea thanks

Wow, great video. Ingenious idea to grow sweet potatoes. But also, your video is a pleasure to watch, great music

Mantaaap.. lahan sempit dengan hasil yang maksimal

Thank you, great sweet potatoes, but it seems very complicated and a heavy procedure! What are the leaves you used the sprouts from?😊

Must try

I did not notice any watering ?

Hard work good production😃👍👍♥️

That's great, you're so good at growing sweet potatoes ❤

Husk of what? What kind of salt? Regular table salt kills, Epsom salt helps plant thrive! What are you pruning, where are you pruning, and why? Is the mulch just dead grass? And what are you putting in after? Mulch, soil? Are you watering through the Coke bottle? Even after adding kitchen mulch? Why does it need that top cover of grass and soil? Oh, so many things you left out that I'd love to know because this seems like a pretty great system.

So clever. Thank you for sharing ❤

Geleng nemen lodi smart idea thanks for sharing. A newbie fren full support watching. Sanaol enjoy n have fun. ❤

Will have to try some of these tips. Thanks for sharing:)

Container roots are much easier than in the ground that's for sure.

So cool!

Good puppy helping.

“ As the foam is made manually, there are numerous arising concerns about the chemicals in it. These harmful chemicals can seep from the foam and enter inside the soil. It can lead to the contamination of plants. Most of the boxes are made of styrene. Besides, styrene is often used as packing foam and food-service materials. This chemical has been listed as a carcinogen or cancer-causing element by National Toxicology Program.”

Wow Thank You!

impressive work bro..

Looks easy enough .

Thank you for sharing

wow you are my genius

Wow Amazing sweet potato ideas. Thanks for sharing Godbless.

Does the salted endof stalk go in or the other end??

Thank you !

❤THANK YOU❤❤❤❤❤

Stay clear of any plastic - it is already in our blood now😮

Amazing!!

why need to cut the side of the box...? I think it will be easier to turn the box upside-down during harvest time... and the box will be ready to be used again for next season?

Very nice.I assume ypu cutting leaves for plant to put more effort on roots but i heard that fertilizing sweet potato is not necessey as encouridge more leaves not necessery more potatoes.Secondly only after 60 days.I have m8ne since january and going to harvest in next 2 weeks here in Sydney Australia as ussually take 120 to 150 days here to grow.Thank you again.

I tried sweet potato last year, but northern Illinois, USA is just not the best place to get a large yield. Oh, I got some for sure ... but the growing season is simply not long enough. However, I had not attempted putting any in small containers as shown in this video. I shall attempt one this year just to see

What kind of fertiliser do you use and what is that husk?

Love love love

Kudo's for the recycling efforts! Styrofoam is horrible stuff someone told me though. No to quibble but if you can make a small hole with a hot iron , why not use that to make a nice cauterized bigger hole too? That way no tiny beads of styrobreak off and fly around at the edges of a rough cut. And in my own experience rodents go hog wild with it. But that is just a friendly warning. I don't think I pesonally will go out of my way to use styrofoam. People should look into glassfoam. It is a rare product but has impressive qualities. Made I believe by Pittsburg Glass. I have read the thermal advantage of styro in the comments. So I will need to understand more about the discrete timing of temperature precautions for growing these delicious tubers. I hope everyone knows that the vines and leaves can also be consumed. But I really just have to ask: after seeing the stems Inserted through the holes in the sides, was the showing of leaves and vines initially placed in each box just a sort of mini Hugel method. Are those going to just rot? Or do those sprout as well?

DIRECTLY IN THE GROUND WORKS BEST FOR ME

nice work

good idea

In America and other ‘developed’ countries where we are obsessed with longevity, and expect to live into our 90’s, this is a fair concern. However, in countries where using recycled products and ingenuity are the norm, and there are bigger concerns than living into the ninth decade, this is an excellent idea. Please do buy your bpa free, hypo-allergenic, compostable, renewable containers and plant your produce, and rest assured you will have helped to pay a wage for an Asian factory worker. Stuffing biodegradable straw between livestock panel ‘walls’ to form your containers should work well and you will also support a local farmer.

did anybody besides me try to get that bug off the screen? lol great way to grow sweet potatoes

Wonderful video ❤

Looking good farmer

That awesome 👏

0:05 what r the fertilizers you add to the soil

you can make wooden boxes and put holes in them.

So this is food grade styrofoam.? What chemicals will leach into your food?

wonder if there is a way to re-use the coolers, maybe precut the whole front side before planting and tape up instead of cut later

Do you have a follow up video of how you cured your sweet potato harvest?

I piesek na wkładkę mięsną też już rośnie

How did they take off the top of the container if the potatoes were planted at the top as well?

Looks so easy now I definitely want to grow my own! One question though, what happens with the coke bottles and the compost inside? Do you water the plants through that?

I love the music.

❤Super❤❤❤❤

Awesome
