We'll Show You How to Grow 1000 Pounds of Sweet Potatoes! | Sweet Potato Garden Tour 2022

How to grow 1000 lbs of Sweet Potatoes! | Sweet Potato Garden Tour 2022
This year, we decided to try to grow more sweet potatoes than we have ever grown before. We are growing sweet potatoes from slips that we propagated, and we also purchased 500 sweet potato slips from tatorman.
In addition to the varieties like Japanese Red, Okinawa, and Hannah sweet potatoes, we are primarily growing Stokes purple sweet potatoes, Vardaman sweet potatoes, Georgia Jet sweet potatoes, Centennial sweet potatoes, and Beauregard sweet potatoes.
In this video, we talk about our experience growing sweet potatoes, the many growing styles we have for growing sweet potatoes including growing sweet potatoes in raised beds, growing sweet potatoes in containers, growing sweet potatoes in vertical gardens like our GreenStalk vertical garden, growing sweet potatoes in ground, and growing sweet potatoes in hay bales. This garden tour will be informative about the various varieties we are growing and is the first video for team sweet potato.
Thank you so much for enjoying this video with us.

# teamsweetpotato. You can eat all parts of the plant. You can make sprouts or slips easily from the potato or split the vines into pieces to make multiple slips, also they will produce potatoes everywhere it lays on the dirt and root.

[@desertflower9557]

So, this is all about the planting. I hope I will get to see the harvest, too.

[@GutenGardening]

Yes! We will definitely document the harvest and do hope you will join us. Have a great weekend.

[@reneebrown2968]

I sure hope you added a watering system under the plastic in that bed.

[@craftdiylearninghome240]

Team sweet potatoes I love sweet potatoes I’m growing purple Okinawa, Japanese orange sweet potatoes,stokes purple sweet potatoes, Molokai sweet potatoes,

[@BramptonGardener]

Holy moley. you have quite the potato harvest. I always recommend your channel when people ask me potato questions.

[@GutenGardening]

Wow, thanks

[@brittanyfuller8723]

All of the sweet potatoes that I planted without rooting first are growing better and faster than the ones that had roots. Fun experimenting

[@GutenGardening]

Awesome!

[@moniquedupee3209]

I wonder if that is because the roots grown in soil are stronger

[@evelynbrooks8558]

You are the sweet potato guru!😄 I cannot wait to see your harvest!!

[@GutenGardening]

So nice of you.

[@markpennella]

As a science teacher, i would say the substantial difference is the foliates are completely different. Are the slips different varieties? I think the single slip with fewer leaves has a more impressive root system then the slips with more leaves and single thick roots. Remember, the roots are different types of roots bc the plant had different needs at the time of stimulating roots.

[@timberlinegoldprospecting2358]

This is our first year of growing sweet potatoes indoors, and out. The variety is Oklahoma Reds, and we are definitely having better luck with planting potato starts as opposed to rooted in water slips. The 2x6 watering trough was doing much better in the South sun than in the heated garage under grow lights. Our next planting will be uprooted slips dipped in gel before going into the 7 gal grow bags. Thanks for your channel!

[@lessycurls]

Your white Hawaii sweet potatoes where did you get your slips or seed potatoes from?

[@KnittingmommyArts]

I'm growing sweet potatoes in one of my Greenstalks this year. It would be nice if you show how you plan to preserve all those sweet potatoes when you harvest them. I plan to cure some of mine for storage, but I also plan to dehydrate the rest. I'd love to see what your plans are for preserving your large haul of sweet potatoes.

[@GutenGardening]

I am so sorry for the very late response. We will definitely talk some in upcoming videos about how we will preserve these. Thank you so much for the suggestion. (PS we have dehydrated and then powderized some of our sweet potatoes in the past and then made ice cream out of it. Yum!)

[@bencyber8595]

Awesome info thanks! I am going to try growing a container with sweet potatoes indoors with a good light this winter.

[@GutenGardening]

Sounds great! Here is a video of the results from our first attempt at growing sweet potatoes indoors: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWfSlIaYbcppY9k

[@Mrs.Wallace]

I just found your channel and I have been binge watching your videos, they are informative I had to subscribe to as well. I also just purchased my first Green Stalk Planters, waiting to receive them soon. I’m trying to grow sweet potatoes 🍠 for the first time in a half wine barrel. I’ve tried growing potatoes 🥔 with no luck 😢twice. However after watching some of your videos I think I going to try again. All my gardening is container and grow bag gardening due to my living situation. 🍠🍠🍠Team Sweet Potato 🍠 🍠🍠 Mrs. Wallace

[@twilightgardener9366]

This is INCREDIBLE!!

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you!

[@GutenGardening]

Fingers crossed for 1000 or close!

[@edwardedling216]

Can slips be made from the vines of this year's plants and used for next year??

[@GutenGardening]

We have already begun collecting some from ours, and we grew some indoors from the slips of the previous season's vines this past winter, so my answer to that would be yes. :)

#Team Sweet Potatoes

[@bonniemiller4371]

I'm growing Georgia Jets and Beauragard (sp?) in 15 gallon grow bags. The soil is a mixture of manure, peat, and vermiculite. First year growing these. I purchased slips. I think next year I would like to try and grow my own slips.

[@GutenGardening]

Awesome! Please come back and share the results of your harvest. When did you plant your sweet potato slips?

[@clncaaquintero3595]

When did you plant them in the ground?

[@Blackness25611]

I’m team sweet potato 😏

[@GutenGardening]

You picked a winner!

[@SandcastleDreams]

The difference in root size probably comes from the company growing the slips in vermiculite instead of plain water.

Where can we buy the different VARIETIES of purple sweet potatoes

[@jeanneleongmitchell1375]

where are you located? how did your Okinawan do? good yields? I haven't had much luck in growing Okinawans so far.

[@mimi4816]

Thanks your video! Do you know sweet potatoes leaves can eat Boiling water and drain out water and put any sauce you like it or fried with oil and garlic fried leave together! It’s very good and healthy food! Please try it.

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you! Yes, we eat the sweet potato leaves as well. I think they taste like spinach. I have never tried frying them, but that sounds delicious. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

[@mimi4816]

@@GutenGardening you are welcome

[@ruckusmaximus3764]

Ok so how do you get water past the black plastic in the raised beds?

[@GutenGardening]

Great question. The planting holes are large enough and we added small holes in the plastic all along the mound. The sweet potato plants seem to be thriving so far.

[@GrowWhereYouArePlanted]

Very ambitious. I hope that it works out for you.

[@GutenGardening]

Us too! Thank you.

Sweet potatoes

[@zachflynn6195]

I really like your ideas for growing sweet potatoes vertically. I might try it out next year. Currently we are growing straight in the ground.

[@GutenGardening]

Awesome! We have used up most of the growing space in our yard, so growing vertically helps us maximize any remaining space we have available. What else are you growing this season and what is your growing zone?

[@zachflynn6195]

We are growing a pretty wide variety. Garlic, onions, potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes, pole beans, kale, collard, lettuce, arugula, spinach, zucchini, carrots, beets, parsnips, grapes, strawberries, blueberries, cantaloupe. There may be some I am missing. We are in zone 6a in southern Indiana. Growing vertical like you is kind of the next step to keep growing more in our personal yard. Our neighbor has allowed us to grow a pretty sizable garden in his yard, which we could expand outwards still.

[@GutenGardening]

@@zachflynn6195 That is an amazing selection of vegetables. Way to go! Having use of your neighbor's unused garden space is an amazing way to increase your productivity. Great job!

[@zachflynn6195]

He actually let us BUILD a garden in his backyard! Haha but yes, thank you. At any rate, I appreciate you putting time into making these videos. It’s good to see how other people grow things.

[@tinab7791]

I'm trying sweet potatoes for the first time this year but we've had such a cold wet spring and early summer that they've really struggled to get going. Just now really taking off and I have no idea how this is going to affect my harvest time lol.

[@CityWideGardens]

How do the potatoes get a chance to drop more roots if the bed is covered with plastic?? I thought they root anywhere they touch the soul and then produce more tubers…. Im still learning so teach me something new PLEASE!!

[@tortron]

Here they lift the vines up occasionally to prevent them from rooting. It produces better tubers and less vines/leaves as I understand

[@mochamommyATX]

I cant even get the slip...

[@GutenGardening]

Where are you located ?

[@markpennella]

I was disappointed to watch the entire video and not have you prove that you grew 1000lbs as your title states! Some good info, but not matching your title. :( :( :(

[@GutenGardening]

Thank you for the feedback. One thing we definitely want to avoid is anything clickbaity. Our point with this video was that it is hard to grow a great volume of potatoes when growing with only one method. And, the 1000 pounds came from how we had purchased 500 slips to plant and hoped to get 2 pounds of yield from each one. We hope you enjoyed the tour. :)

[@humbllbug]

Anyone who believes and calls on the name of Jesus is forgiven his sins, because He is God who took human form and offered Himself as a sacrifice for your sins. Watch for the imminent appearance of Satan on earth where he will impersonate Jesus. Jesus was eating at Simon's house (Simon was a leper whom Jesus had healed) a few days before His crucifixion when a woman arrived with a box of priceless ointment and anointed Him with the contents. The disciples thought the woman was crazy because she could have sold the ointment and given the money to the needy. She had anointed him for burial, Jesus said, and he commanded that what he had done be reported so that she would be remembered wherever the gospel was preached.
