[@JeffEarnest]

Are they metal or wood and what is the price and do you ship

Hey there😊 did u make an update for the sweet potatoes? I’m currently working mine!!!😊 thanks for videos

[@charlettadavis6997]

Hi! Can you give the list of all the soils/fertilizer used?

[@olestarsandbars]

Justin…I am 64 years old and I learn more about vegetables and landscaping from you than people twice your age. You should consider running 2-3 day clinics for gardeners. I would pay to attend and buy some plants!

[@skgreenhouse]

Wow! Thank you so much for the kind comment! I appreciate all the support!🙏 Glad to know you're learning from the videos. Definitely motivating!

Hi you can cook the young leaves with Garlic so yummy 😋

[@billytingen3567]

Justin my Friend, this video was PACKED with very useful information. I've never seen this process before. I ordered slips that arrived at the wrong time and were less than desirable. We had to start over. What an easy way to grow your own slips. Awesome!! Thanks for sharing this with us! Cheers!!

By far the best sweet potato video I've found

[@somadinasmbg]

I might have just discovered another amazing gardener and teacher guys ❤. Respect from Nigeria

[@Donna-vh5ym]

This was the clearest tutorial I've ever seen. I just subscribed and about to stsrt growing sweet potatoes. I look forward to watching you more. Thank you.

[@garygalloway6959]

They plant these for ground cover literally EVERYWHERE in Hawaii. Free sweet potatoes in your yard, rockpile, compost heap, I mean everywhere!!

[@annetteharding6484]

Well said and very articulate without wasting any time. Straight to the point. I’m a follower now.

[@TwentyOneThirty]

As a newbie to growing vegetables, I appreciate you sharing your experiences and knowledge. Love the channel

[@dia9491]

I love how you’re talking about making a greenhouse with the plastic container. I do that for all kinds of stuff not just sweet potato. I start seeds in those every year. I’ve got seed trays but I like those better.

[@vidasustentavel9465]

Nothing better than planting and harvesting our own food. It's good for the body and mind. Congratulation

Great job Justin!

This is by far my favorite gardening channel. You guys should sell some S&K apparel online. I'd love to buy a couple shirts.

This video is a work of art, much like your other videos! Justin, this medium is perfect for your teaching and sharing. Alex, I appreciate the camera work and thoughtful compilation of the final product......excellent work!!!! 😃 Looking forward to the next one!!! Thank you!!!

Awesome video. As prices for Groceries go up you are seeing more interest in home Gardening. Thank you for sharing these great methods.

Your video was very informative and answered questions that I had not found an answer. Thanks.

[@JM-lo8xu]

Cant wait to see the tubers of your labor!

[@dear_prudence]

It's so great seeing you're as nuts about Stout Ollie as I am. I've been using it for years and there is just nothing better. The company is in Eloree SC, not that far away from where I live so all the feed stores and garden supply places here sell it. Don't know how far away they sell it but it's sure worth every cent, best compost ever. They don't call it "'Mater Maker" for nothing :)

[@skgreenhouse]

You are right!! It's definitely more popular in SC, where you live. I discovered it about 3 years ago and I love it!! It's probably some of the best compost on the market.

[@GETEM75]

Sir, you have made me so excited on my gardening journey. I thank God I've found your page. 😊

[@Lizzy_333]

Same!! God is great! My first year growing sweet potatoes and I’m very excited to see how they do!😍

[@PaintZillaJean]

This is by far one of the best and most informative videos!!! Thank you!!!

[@DiannaAtherton]

I will tell you why i subscribed right after watching this video. Because you got right to the subject matter. Pack full of information in a short period of time. Love it.

[@myk1200s]

You should do a video on building a raised bed and what type of soil to add to it from start to finish 😃👍

[@TnOrchidguy]

Thank you, brother, thank you.

[@AnnaMarieSommer]

Hey Justin! This was a fantastic video! As someone who has grown sweet potatoes a few years now, I totally appreciate the differences in method. One thing that I do that might be different is as the plants get taller rather than snipping off the sprout off plants, You can add more soil and those will continue to grow more tubers off of that direction. So, you can take two plants and plant them low in the planter and as they get about six or 8 inches taller you can lay them down on the soil and add more soil. Since you have a longer growing season it would probably work better for you. Then, if you don't want to dig out all of your potatoes on the same day, you know that each of those groups will likely be ready a week to 10 days apart. This is my first time on your channel, and I look forward to seeing some of the other videos you've made! Thank you for making people plant people!!

[@beckywilliams832]

You can put a square water bottle with the top cut off. Put the bottle over the plant and you make like a terrarium and keeps in some moisture

[@res-c4q]

Clear and precise explanations and illustrations . Thank you

[@ashleyc6269]

I’m just getting started with gardening and have found a lot of unclear information, but this is by far the best video I’ve found for growing sweet potatoes. So informative! I feel like I know what I’m doing now. Thank you so much! I’m excited to see your other videos!

Yes I am a Nigerian we grow sweet potatoes and trimming you sweet potatoes every month to a same bush size will increase the size of the tubers

Hi Justin! Thanks for sharing!! I really hope you’re going to do a garden tour this year of William and Susan’s garden and Bruce Duncan!! I absolutely LOVED their gardens last year and I watched them repeatedly! Thank you!! 😊

I am trying to venture into potato cultivation this year and so far i have planted 10 varieties so far, but still have foubts if they'll be successful. I've seen a lot of video tutorials about planting this plants but so far, your videos are far more accurate in many ways!!

[@karenfaucheux665]

Thanks for the very detailed explanations! I find many videos assume you know certain things. Thank you!

[@Tami24945]

My problem is the vines get sooo long! Can you keep the vines shorter by pruning the ends and still be able to get good tubers?

thanks for the very clear information! we also eat the leaves of the sweet potato, like spinach, has a paai, or in the wok. makes the plant grow bigger tubes.

[@QuailRunRanch-ng1pd]

Love your video. I wish I had thought of sweet potatoes earlier in the season but if I can find slips I will plant them anyway because I live in SE AZ and we have a long hot (sometimes humid if there's monsoon rains) growing season. Experiment! Your video is very clear about what to do and I appreciate that. Next year I will start my own slips for sure!

[@pauldonovan282]

Really enjoying your videos. Learning a lot, you really know your stuff. Do you have any videos on growing asparagus.

[@loriagrant1768]

Best informative video on growing and planting sweet potatoes slips!! Thank you!! I used the whole potato in soil to grow slips. I have one question..after planting the slips in a large container what do you do with the running vines that overflow the container onto the ground as they grow? I have a small area in my yard and I’m concerned about that. This is my first year growing sweet potatoes also.im excited!!

Hi. Nice video! You explained and demonstrated the process clearly and concisely. What kind of of sweet potato/es would you suggest growing to reproduce Terra krinkle chip sweet potato chips? What kind do you think they are using? I was unable to find the answer.

Great video! Thank you!! I’m a late into starting my vegetable garden but was wondering if it’s worth it to start the process to get the slips this late in May if I’m in zone 8a. I look forward to learning more from your channel. :)

[@charmaineharkins9904]

Hi. Thank you! I heard cutting the potatoes in half before putting them in soil for the slips works too? Yes?

[@stokrotnie7]

😍 Beautiful! Thank you for the video! 🙏 💡 I’ve seen someone do experiment on the number of plants in a container. As it turns out the fewer plants in one container, the bigger tuber. ❓ What would you do if you slips began to rot in water? (Small already shooting) Can I cut the rotten part off and keep them in water to grow more roots/ cut off the rotten part and insert into some soil? 🧐

[@laferriere6]

Great video, well done! Thank you. I'm in Florida 9b and I tried my hand at purple sweet potatoes last spring and I had a few fields of sweet potato greens. But I only got 1 decent potato from each starter. I planted them in the ground, mostly wanting the ground cover, but looking forward to some purple sweet potatoes. Can it take cuttings from those 10'-15' long runners and root them into their own plants and get potatoes down the road? They have all rooted themselves, but the roots didn't go more than a couple inches. That's actually what I'm being told caused such a low yield, because I allowed them to take root. If so I have thousands of starters for next season if that would work. I just don't want to spend another season with unrealistic expectations. Thank you and anyone else in advance for a response.
