Sugar Cane ~~ TIPS ~~ Gardening 101

[@icgcaboose4330]

Incredible video with great explanations of everything. I'm just south of Jackson in Terry and would love to come see your operation sometime! 🙋‍♂️

[@abigailj5689]

I wish I could up thumbs this video more then once. It is very educational and exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

[@lynnjasmine3216]

A question: If I have several smaller plants popping up around the bottom (about 3-4") , can I dig them up and replant them? They are attached to the main plant root.

[@MrDee001]

I've been lied to all my life about "sweet potato yams"! Excellent video.

[@heysuz701]

Going to sugar cane university today!! Can’t wait to see what I can do with my harvest next year!

[@christnhvv256]

How’s it going so far?!😊

[@thatkajunguy8029]

Always good information here, I'm surrounded, literally, by a thousand acres of sugar cane so that is one crop I have no need to grow.

[@christopherpatrick2343]

Great 👍

[@YolklahomaRocks]

I got my answer from my previous question on if sugar cane grows in Oklahoma off your live stream on cooking the syrup. Thanks for answering it live..it helped make the decision on whether to order it from ya'll.

[@anashomestead5919]

Awesome! Sugar as a prepping supply on a homestead is how I first found Your Homesteading Channel & the rest of the many Homesteading Channels that I look at. Yep you were my first hit on a homesteading channel. I already planned one. I was just refreshing my lifetime of learning, & was adding something new in sugar cane growing, processing, etc. So it was wonderful to find you out there. Thank you Danny & Wanda.

[@swamppappy7745]

They used to put cut cane fodder in attics for insulation. My uncle Talmadge used to fed the hogs the fermented skimmings. Those poor hogs were hilarious drunk.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Oh yeah they get slap drunk and funny.

[@swamppappy7745]

Deep South Homestead Thanks for posting. Love the old ways. Keep it up,

[@AnnieFarmerFarm]

So awesome to learn about Sugar Cane! One thing we don't raise!

[@LA-qw9yo]

Thank you! Very good tips. I'll be happy to get one cluster this year. 😁

[@lazmartin1463]

Great info. Thanks.

[@HearthandDome]

Missed this one.. no better time to go back and watch than a sleepless night.. Love my homemade stripper! Can’t wait to use it! 😊

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I really enjoyed making it. I know it will go to good use.

[@OHBuckNow]

Thank you.

[@jacqualynwilloughby8133]

So Very Grateful For Your Knowledge On Sugar Cane 101 Danny...Was Raised On The "Candy Cane"...I Needed To Learn About The Syrup Making Cane...Thank You Very Much Danny

[@piahess9738]

Fantastic huge sugar cane Danny.Soo happy you and Wanda will be having some to sell on your Etsy Store. I still have a pint of it,and it is still good.I can't even describe the unusual and deliscious flavor of it.We have put it on everything,almost.I will be checking your store to get some more.Good luck harvesting,pressing and cooking it soon.I remember the video when you two were outside cooking it,and it was freezing cold there.That was no fun i'm sure.Glad you can do it all in stages this Season,and will have help also.Get your gloves ready Miss Amanda.God Bless,and be well you all.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡.......

[@colleenlassie2600]

Danny just enjoy everything you teach... blessings to you.. hope your day is great!

[@drojohns73]

When would I plant sugar cane in Mobile, Al,?

[@coolpercool]

I don’t know if you can. You would need no winters and no frost. You would also need full sun and loads of water

[@marcelobfarms1841]

nice sugarcane farm

[@sharonoffl1349]

I was raised in rural Fla. & as a child we would suck on the sweet cane, right in the field!! Yum 😋 That was back in the 40's, before the dreadful fire ants arrived!! God bless you !!

[@dannysullivan720]

My grandfather grew ii to make moonshine

[@johnburch9853]

Thank you

[@moovingon6868]

Thank-you for your wisdom and knowledge. They grow this commercially down here in south Florida, but I never knew that much about it.

[@DMARQUIS97]

I'm in Hawaii and we have many different type of cane. I didn't know that you could syrup nor candy sticks.

[@garnettgreene4878]

I need some stalks for planting... both varieties...got any left?

[@dannytheplumber7394]

Incredible amount of knowledge , thank you very much .

[@chrisz.9974]

Can I cut the individual nodes for growing and chew on the middle pieces so I don’t waste so much of it?

[@Third_eye_Tia]

Thank you so much😎💜

[@Makeme-g8v]

How are you not in long sleeve and face covering. You must have some chain mail type skin. I was trying to move my little to lantern one and got cut up. Their leaves are so sharp.

[@deedahl2866]

I'm interested in growing sugar cane, is that possible to do in buckets/containers? All I have here is sandy soil. Where in the world do I find "starts" of sugar cane? Ebay?

[@lorenbush8876]

Do the ends of the cane need to be sealed with wax before planting so it does not rot? Thanks

[@michaelfisher438]

Can I plant sugar cane in North Carolina?

[@tater357]

Looking to grow some sugar cane this year, but can't seem to find a reliable source on where to get it. I looked on etsy for your store, but didn't see any cane up for sale.

[@robertrouse7209]

Quick question. The temp got down to 33 on Saturday. Do you think the standing cane got too cold for cutting to plant?

[@janpenland3686]

Thanks Danny. Can you can the raw juice from the chewing cane to use as a liquid sugar or would it need to be processed more in order to use it that way? Also can you use the individual sticks of the chewing cane like a swizzle stick in your hot teas and coffee to sweeten the beverage, or simmer it in the water before brewing the tea? Around here they grow sorghum and I've only experienced fresh sugar cane a couple of times and that was 50 + years ago. A few of the old timers grew small stands of it for special treats. Much Love

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

The raw juice will sour over night if not kept cold. Plus it needs to be processed to get rid of the imputities in it. The sugar sticks are best just chewed on.

[@SoulSeeker770]

What's the best inexpensive juicer for sugar cane?

[@smclindsey]

Thank you. I learned a lot from this video. I am hoping to get started growing Sugarcane this year. I want it strictly for the juice. I have chewed Sugarcane and drank Sugarcane juice all my life. I love it. I can buy the syrup from those who make it, but the juice is not something I can find. I plan to freeze the juice in small containers so I can have it all year and some to share with family. I have froze the juice in the past, and it holds it's flavor very well.

[@ScottHead]

Hi Danny, been enjoying your cane videos in preparation for my own cane patch going in Friday. Question about the greener portion of the cane - would that be good for cutting and re-planting? Or are the darker segments best for planting? Thanks so much!

[@hughoreilly9526]

Very helpful

[@sharonallen6921]

Thank you so much, Mr. Danny. I'm planting Sugar Cane for the 1st time this fall and this video gives me hope I can figure this process out. ~Sherrie in South Carolina

[@TigressPhoenix]

Thank you so much for this video! Very educational and informative.

[@bretturner3413]

Nice video,wish if you tell the name of sugar cane,thanks.

[@redredwine1277]

Excellent info 🎄Thank you, Merry Christmas🎄🎉

[@indianlifes1737]

Hello sir, which country is that sugarcane

[@YolklahomaRocks]

Well this video was needed for us. We didn't know anything about growing/harvesting sugar cane...or chewing cane. Great 101. I believe they grow or used to grow sugar cane in Oklahoma. Probably need to research it. Feel free to let me know if you know.

[@garybartek]

great instructional video. I enjoyed watching it even though I have no interest in sugar cane growing because of our climate.

[@AngiesPantry58]

All ways very educational Danny.... Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day & teach us .. God Bless! :")

[@MyWoodpecker]

Hi Danny, I have another question please. My sugar cane is doing great in the raised bed garden and the ones I planted in a large container. Each sugar cane seedling I planted has smaller shoots coming from the main stalk and I want to know if they should be removed or leave them to grow with the main stalk. Thanks for answering my previous question. :~)

[@MyWoodpecker]

Can I grow sugar cane in big containers?

[@sicuro5050]

I do

[@thomaswilliams8167]

Hey Danny,Dano here in Ga.Does sugarcane spread? Or do you have to keep replanting???

[@peewees6199]

Thanks. God bless!

[@ladycat661]

Oh what some beautiful cane good Lord blessed y'all with y'all s harvest this year Mr,Danny and Wanda wish I could come and help y'all brings back memories when I was younger Thank you for sharing God bless .

[@sweetdweams]

Thank you so much Danny. Did you find any difference in yield, spacing the rows 6 ft apart as to 4 ft apart?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yes i have a greater yeild with the wider rows.

[@sweetdweams]

@@DeepSouthHomestead thanks Danny

[@GullahGeecheeFarmer]

@@DeepSouthHomestead pulling the mother shoots out also increases tiller density and makes the canes more identical within the clump size wise.

[@cmiller1952]

Very informative video... thanks!....no 🐜 on our sorghum here...😁

[@mindischwab]

We are in NC and bought both chewing and juicing cane... My husband asked me should we tarp it with silage tarps over winter to keep it from being exposed to frost/freeze during January/February... what should I tell him? It is planted in full sun 8" deep all in one very long row. Our silage tarps are black on one side and white on the other side but do not allow sunlight to come through.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Covering it with a deep mulch should be ok. Not sure about a tarp.

[@Duncan1900Homestead]

Thanks Danny. Great info on sugar cane.

[@reneebrown5598]

What do you do with the fodder? Is it good to feed any particular animals or do you compost it

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

I told in the video what we do with it.

[@hyahthadon4879]

Do fire ants destroy the sugar cane ?

[@oldsouthhomestead7118]

Is there a way to squeeze the cane without one of the old mills? Is there an affordable modern replacement that you would recommend?

[@plurmingo1]

Looking for the same answer, but more in the can you peel and boil/steam it , them boil or simmer out the water content ? I live in Fl we have sugar cane growing everywhere just about harvesting time down here.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Zach from an American Homestead shows a new modern stainless small mill he uses. Not sure what his cost but they do have them.

[@oldsouthhomestead7118]

+Deep South Homestead Thanks I will check it out

[@dallasgardener3166]

Danny, regarding Fire Ants, do chickens eat them? Just thinking that if so , keeping chickens ( temporarily) in a back to Eden garden would clear the ants out, at least for a little while!

[@CrazyDazes]

No

[@c.j.rogers2422]

Some ducks will, but not every duck. Most critters find the formic acid in the ants distasteful, apparently.

[@mariehenriksen67]

I have been told Guineas will eat then.

[@thedonvol]

hey Danny, where can I find sugar cane to plant and is it to late to plant this year

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

We sell ours in October and November and that is when we replant. There could be some sold online, but I don't know.

[@VeeDubJohn]

Hi Danny, I was watching your last Porch Time this afternoon. I just went to finish it, and it’s gone. Did you remove it?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Sorry, Porch Time will be out in the morning. Wanda scheduled it on the wrong day.

[@VeeDubJohn]

Deep South Homestead thanks, I was really enjoying your father’s advise.

[@janiceseigler6317]

Excellent video! Thank you so much for the opportunity to buy cane from you. Can't wait to get my order. How long are the roots viable and continue to reproduce year after year?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

It usually needs to be replanted about every 3 years.

[@bcrouch2626]

Try putting woodchuck down so no weeds come up

[@mariehenriksen67]

Can you make actual sugar out of it? Do you just keep boiling till it granulates?

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Yes you can make sugar out of it. Its a lot more processes you go through to refine it.

[@mariehenriksen67]

@@DeepSouthHomestead thank you

[@momedwards1956]

Interesting great video, I remember as a child growing up, my grand-daddy harvesting the the sugar cane and making sugar cane syrup.. I still love the syrup but hard to get up here in Va where I live.. I so loved cane syrup and home made biscuits..

[@abelardopascual6564]

How do you figure out price for cane???

[@abelardopascual6564]

Since cane isnt a product sold in store often.

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Cane is sold all the time in some southern tropical regions from producers. Its not a store item because it has no shelf life and with out the proper equipment it is diffucult to use for syrup making. Each person sets there own price for what they sell theres for. Most we have found on line is more expensive than what we sell ours for. Its very heavy and hard to ship also.

[@jamesgretsch4894]

In Hawaii especially on the island of Oahu they had a big sugarcane industry, hence C&H California & Hawaii sugar. Since then most has moved to the Philippine Islands. They used to burn the sugarcane fields before harvesting. The sugarcane fields were fascinating. Have you ever been to Hawaii when they had the sugarcane fields? How did you like them?
