How to Grow Yams in Bags. How to Grow Yam Seedlings by Minisette Technique. The Best Tips

In this video I show a very popular method of growing yams. The minisette method can get us between sixteen and twenty yam seedlings per yam if done correctly. I show a few tips to ensure you get a healthy disease resistant harvest.

Always love a good gardening video and some great ideas and tips on how to grow things in the garden. I have a very small yard and a very small food garden but I do have one and I always love watching all these awesome tips you shared with us hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and Debbie

Wow!! I can tell you're not an amateur at this. I once ordered yam mini sets from the University of Ibadan (leading researchers in the field). I was mind blown how much work they have put into the studies. Unfortunately, US customs siezed my yams mini sets 😂 Thank you so much for sharing such amazing knowledge. I'll be getting down to growung my yams now.

[@LiliansGardens]

Such a pity the mini setts were seized. The crop s from UI always grow wonderfully. Oh yes great research on several tropical crop. Shamefully a lot of these results are not extended for wide usage by farmers in the catchment communities of UI.... as the setts are/were so expensive. It is rewarding to grow yams if you're in a tropical state in the US. Goodluck

Very well done tutorial, easy to understand and follow. It's always nice to learn new stuff with you as you share your gardening wisdom and experience. Very useful and informative!

[@LiliansGardens]

Thank you! Cheers! I like doing so.

[@sigismundjumbo8065]

Lillian you are a genius and life saver. Your video on yam cultivation is simple, concise and easy to understand. I now know the importance of Dettol and onions on root crops. Using readily available materials make things easier for the farmers. God bless you. ❤ 🙏👏😀

[@LiliansGardens]

Amen and you. Glad it was helpful!

[@LizaSchizas]

I didn't know that different parts of the yam grow at different rates. Nature is extraordinary ✨️

[@LiliansGardens]

Indeed it is. At times gardeners just plant the top part of each yam for a quick harvest.

[@ahmadbalogun5471]

Thank you so much, this is very informative.

[@josephkwabena8942]

Great Job. Please how long will take to get the seedlings through process?

[@LiliansGardens]

Ready for harvest in six to seven months. Nedds watering, fertilising and proper staking to ensure this.

[@AustineOkonkwo-p2u]

Well done my sister how do you mean the cut side upward?

[@LiliansGardens]

Place the skin to touch the soil and the cut side will be upwards.. I hope this heps.

Goodmorning my friend

Thanks for the visit

[@LiliansGardens]

Thanks my friend.

[@infobiodiversity]

Very nice and well done dear princess, I want to know is it staple food of your area? As in our country we like bread made from wheat flour we eat every thing with this bread.

[@LiliansGardens]

Yes, you are right Prof, this is our staple food. We eat it morning and afternoon everyday in different forms. We also make snacks out of it. Stores for months as well. Oh yes just as you eat different foods made of wheat. Thanks for being here.

[@SholaAkinpelu]

The cut yams will come out a full yam?

[@LiliansGardens]

Yes a full yam seedling Here is what we call yam seedling kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ3KdGmAetJod80

[@Nadiaandherchildren]

cool

[@DriverNganjuk]

Maeak.

[@solomonagochi]

Is this process for land or for bags?

[@greenlife8953]

Both

[@LiliansGardens]

Both, this is preparation of the yam cuttings, you may plant in the land directly or in bags.

[@solomonagochi]

But why should it be up to ten months to mature?

[@LiliansGardens]

Yams are ready for harvest in seven months but will grow bigger the longer it's left in the soil while tthe leaves are still green.

[@inubaye2030]

This yam setts of matches box size can't really produce bigger tuber. You have to increase the yam seeds or setts if you want bigger tuber.

[@LiliansGardens]

Oh yes that's exactly the topic of this video. I'm trying to grow yam seedlings. These sets are the perfect size for that. In fact I have successfully harvested my yam seedling four days ago. I'll post video in a few days.

[@inubaye2030]

@@LiliansGardens fantastic! I can't wait to see the harvested seedlings. Weldone!

@@inubaye2030 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJ3KdGmAetJod80 Here's the seedling harvested at the nd of the season. The aim to show how to create yam seedlings.

[@gracegivenbygod]

Can I still eat the yam after it starts sprouting? The vine is now about 2 feet long.

[@LiliansGardens]

Yes just cut off about and peel. If it's still white/yellowish inside it's safe to eat.

[@user-mh4gf8vb3i]

Oxines and geberelins. Is this spellings correct?

[@LiliansGardens]

Auxins and gibberellins.
