Who's that old lady in the intro lol. Had a great fun doing it. Sweet potato in the ball jar in filtered water. Be sure not to put it in city water with chlorine and fluoride. Looking forward to growing a batch. Love it. Thanks for the info.
Great job, Debora! I went over to see your videos, too. Old lady? NO WAY!!! You are inspired, not retired! Keep growing and sharing the love of it.
If you leave the "city water" out over night, the chlorine will evaporate. Not sure if the flouride will cause a problem for making the slips.
Fluoride and many other municipally-added/mandated toxins will not evaporate from the water. Fluoride causes the disease, Fluorosis. This disease will show up in children's permanent teeth around the age of 8 as a small or intrusive brown mark on the tooth. What that mark indicates is a lack of bioavailable minerals that have been replaced by the toxic fluoride. Tooth is a bone; what we do not see is how the fluoride has affected all the bones in our developing bodies. Watch the increase in knee and hip replacements, and I think the answer to how much damage fluoride is doing will become evident. The Federal Government just lowered the recommended levels for "safe" fluoride intake. . .wonder why? I feel that if this is happening to the human body. . .certainly it will affect the uptake of bioavailable nutrients for plants, and of course, animals. Will your slips fail? Probably not. Will they be as healthy as plants fed with spring water captured in low-fluoride environments? Probably not.
I was given some antibiotic, i think tetracycline as a small child, which made all my baby teeth rot as well as the first few of my adult teeth. However at one point we moved to a city with fluoridated water, as a result the rest of my teeth came in white and strong and did not have to be pulled like 3 of my 2nd molars. They're all still in my mouth as well as my wisdom teeth that took the place of them. No brown spots either. Just sayin'!
That is awesome news that you had a different outcome. I wish it was the reality for those who have been poisoned and compromised by high dosage of fluoride. The newly-adjusted national fluoride RDA guidelines was rolled out to address what is called an epidemic of fluorosis. Not only are children ingesting fluoride via water, but they tend to swallow their toothpaste, drink sodas (fluoride included), and also have dental fluoridation treatments. I believe there is a correlation from fluoride imbalance with the uptick in knee and hip replacements in older life. One mineral's imbalance will cause changes in many other minerals.
5 years later, I put my sweet potatoes in water while watching this video to grow my first slips!! Your videos just keep on giving for years!!!!!! 😆
I'm not living off the grid but with each video I watch the more I want to become off grid .
Michele from Albert here. I’ve started my sweet potato slips a couple weeks ago and already have many coming out. Im so excited to try growing them here. Thanks for you’re wealth of knowledge!
I was raised on a farm with a mother and father that loved their gardens, and still love them! I was too caught up in social activities and sports to give much effort towards learning. I have now in the past 5 years been helping my folks and learning as much as possible. Very useful skills. We are implementing much of what you discuss in your videos. Thankful for your willingness to teach and share, a true blessing for our little family. You are on our prayer board; God bless you both with His richness in grace, joy, patience and unending love.
Finally, on my knees thank you, I've been trying to find out how to grow and what slips were. I'm so happy y'all don't even know. This is our first big garden in our fairly new place.. new to us. I'm so excited! We've planted six kinds of potatoes and somebody gave us several sweet tators so I cut a few eyes off and I'm rooting that part.. hopfully it works, and we'll have sweet potatoes. Thank you both for your time in making these videos. They mean lots to do many of us. God bless you and keep happy gardening.💙🌼💙
I am so psyched Doug and Stacy!!! I grew my own purple sweet potato slips! They are planted and although slightly late in the season I have my fingers crossed…!🤞
you guys are also "the gift that keeps on giving!" ❤🥰 got mine in the water-bought 4 different types of organic this year to try. excited to grow my own first time ever.
That is the way I always grew my sweet potato slips. Not planting any this year, too much else going on in life. We do have a garden but not as big. I have done many things that you folks do but I have never been off grid. I do know how to bake in a wood burning stove. Have raised chickens, and lots of things. I grew up on a farm and still live in the country. I am 82 years old. Enjoying your videos.
Sue in Central Indiana.
When you talk about how to plant or fix something, would you let us also know how to store them over the winter while we are eating them? Thanks
Doug and Stacy: I was just telling my wife the other day how I'd love to grow some potatoes and sweet potatoes in barrels and raised beds this year and here you guys read my mind! LOL. Loved it. Keep that good info coming. Love your show you guys! From NE Ohio Amish country.
Thanks Doug and Stacy, I am dieing to try them. It's St Patrick's Day tomorrow in Ireland. Happy St Patrick's Day to all who celebrate 👍😉🇮🇪🍀
I love growing them as a houseplant too...so easy to do and fun !
I am a townie from a modest, central Illinois village. Thanks for the information. My 8 year-old grandson started a sweet potato in water as part of a Cub Scout advancement requirement. There is now 1 slip about 2 inches long plus 5 or 6 more budding out. The Cub Scouts merely require a 2 week "journal" from the time he put the tuber in the water, but we are determined to take this all the way to harvest! We have grown sweet potatoes in the past but not for many years -- and always from purchased slips. Very excited to see how this works from our slips.
I also watched the mound vs. raised bed video. I believe we will follow suit by putting our slips in the raised beds. May also try a few in a large tub, per another vlogger.
Thanks again!!
I'm growing my slips from store bought sweet potatoes, and letting some regular potatoes sprout!
I'm so thankful to have found you guys. You videos are so helpful. Yesterday after getting discouraged in the garden I came in to rest and turned on one of you vids and got re-inspired to go out and finish getting the garden prepped for planting. Thanks guys
You got this ....inch by inch makes it a sintch yard by yard makes it hard ❤
Thanks for the video! I have been doing my sweet potato slips like this for years.
........I just subscribed . ......love your site ! I am in Cass County MI ! I have 5 acres of land & greenhouses ! Lemon and Key Limes are giving cuttings . ......I withdrew my pension funds & want to live off grid ! Maranatha GOD bless you and your family and friends !
Never seen such a educational + wholesome video about sweet potatoe
cuttings thank you !
I watched this video last year after I already bought my slipped. It's great to be able to come back to it this year for refresher and be confident in starting my own slips.
Thank you so much! Homesteaders like you are going to save us
Growing my store bought sweet potato in a glass vase. Using filtered water and very diluted veggie food. Roots grew in a week but slips are taking some time because I'm in Washington state and the warmer weather is late this year. I'm not getting 6 to 8 hours of sun yet and they like the warmer weather and lots of sun light 🌞. Great tip's you give on your channel most people don't know how easy it is to grow your own slips instead of paying top dollar for the store bought and mail order slips. God bless 🙏 😃
back for a recap, i did not know what way up ! thanks Doug and Stacy have a great growing season and take care
Bum down.
Ohh my goodness!! Thanks for the tips, I've finally got myself some great starts going, I'm super excited I've never grown sweet potatoes before 🤞🤞
DOUG & STACY, THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL INFORMATIVE INFO. I rooted sweet potatoes & didn't know the next steps until I tuned in to you guyz! Thanx again
Didn't know it was that easy! Doing this today. Thank you for the great information!
One tip you might want to try. I use wooden skewer sticks instead of tooth picks. They are stronger and more stable than the flimsy tooth picks of today. Run it all the way threw the potatoe
I've got some of those! I don't have tooth picks though so thank you.
Then when can we remove those sticks?
Nice detailed video on how to start them. Love, love, love sweet potatoes! I'm making your sweet potato flatbread tonight. Thank you!
Stacy ... love your hat!! Looks good on you.
Great advice! Starting mine this week!!!! Thanks for the video and the clear explanation of how to get the sweet potatoes growing!
Had no idea it was that simple! This is fantastic, I've been trying to find productive ways to expose the kids (3 year old twins and younger) to plants and such before gardening season comes again and this is perfect as well as saving me from tryin to find slips!
Thanks guys, I'm happy to be a homestead homie too! I'm from Alberta, Canada and this is my first time learning about sweet potatoes. My first order is arriving(I know no one local that grows them) and I'll grow my own this year then sprout my own next spring!
I'll be starting my first garden this year and I will definitely be giving this a try. I've learned so much from watching your videos, you two are amazing. Hope you have a great growing year.
Followed this tip last summer. Did three large half barrel type pots on 5/2 and 5/31/20. Didn’t expect much. However, 22#. We don’t eat a lot of them. But it was enough for winter and smalls for re growing slips. Gave some to a neighbor as well. Awesome. Thanks. PS. Used the leaves too.
thanks for the video Doug and Stacy. I live in FL and have recently learned that sweet potatoes is a crop that I can grow here and I wanted to now how or where I can get slips. we are homesteaders by any means but want to learn skill sets to makes us more sustainable. we started off with chickens with hopes it would prove eggs for us and teach our little ones about responsibility and connecting with the land. now it's totally sparked interests in gardening, canning, raising either a cow or pig for the freezer. love your videos, they are so informative
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.
I'm new to gardening and soaking up as much info as possible. I am grateful for this information. Thank you
Got mine started this morning. Thanks so much for all that you share with us.
We got slips from a lady at the Baker Creek Spring festive last year. Excited to try this myself this year. Learning one new skill at a time! Thanks y’all!
Thank you guys for all the useful homesteading tips, and for spreading truth.
Thank you so much! I had a couple of organic sweet potatoes in the fridge so I followed your very good advice and started them just now. Thanks again!
I watched this so that I'll know what to do with the harvest to keep it for next year. Thank you guys! God bless!
bought my organic sweet potatoes today and my thoughts were to direct plant them so this is perfect timing thank you Doug and Stacy oceans of love from Florida
great video guys didnt know it was that easy.you guys have inspired us so much,we are moving off grid next month and since watching your videos about how you do things, we have decided to go with no solar and keep it as basic as possible. these videos are so valuable for off grid newbies.
Thanks so much Stacy. I saw this video last year but forgot how. I remembered you had a video. Now my slips are rooting in the window sill. I.always enjoy rewatching pff grid episodes..
JUST STARTED MY SLIPS AND 32 OZ JARS CANNING JARS WELL LET THEM GROW ALL WINTER OFF THE GRID !! SUPER EXCITED
Awesome! Its crazy how this type of simple knowledge has slipped away from most people. Thanks for helping keep our food culture alive! =D Definitely gonna do this soon, just got our reg taters in yesterday
Get it... slipped
These intros are so much fun!! I'm definitely starting my own slips now!
Can't wait to start mine this weekend! Thanks for the inspiration!
I just started my sweet potatoe this morning. Thanks for the garden tip!
I'm glad you posted this! I need to get mine started too! Thanks.
I remember when Arms Family would stop by and leave comments 🤔
🤣👍
@@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY haha! Need to stop by for a visit and not a comment!
I had read about doing this. But without a picture, I didn't understand. So I appreciate that you showed how you do this.
Oh wow--never knew--thank you for sharing!
Starting mine this week! ( and by the way, I watched your vid yesterday- I missed the live show- but it was a lot of good knowledge on how the all this works on utube. I just have an iPad that was given to me and I DONOT know how to use it - i have no computer skills what so ever. ( only the software from work) I don't have a " smart phone" got rid of it. So, hopefully I will get around to the snail mail soon. Thanks for all the great ideas and tips to life off grid. My " scobie" is almost ready to begin making my drinks-- and God Bless you two love birds!💞🌱🎨& Doug, that board will be the perfect solution and you'll only have to rotate when you get in new bales. It will save time and your back. 🌻
Fabulously helpful as usual. Thank you from South Africa.
Had to come back to this video to make sure I was doing it right. I'm here in California so I wanted to make sure I was doing it right. Wish me luck. Great having this source of information.
just started mine first time ever love you both and God bless you abundantly!
Thank you both I’ve wanted to grow sweet potatoes and slip’s but was unsuccessful before! Will keep you posted!🍠
always a wealth of information that I am always referring back to! Thanks so much Doug and Stacy!
Great people very respectful of each other good information enjoyed and ( subscribed )
Perfect timing. I have an organic sweet potato starting to bud and an extra jar to start making slips. Yipee! I appreciate your clear directions.
Finally, i know the secrete! Thank you. I love to grow things from seeds. In this case , from a big sweet potatoe to the little plants
I'm a homestead homie in WA state and I started my slips yesterday. this is my first time, so I can't wait till they start rooting and growing the slips...
Never grown sweet potatoes because they seemed difficult. This video gave me the confidence to go for it this year. Thanks!!
This was a great display on how to grow sweet potatoes!
We got some sweet potatoes to eat about a month ago. We had one left that we were kind of saving (it was the last one, and when it's eaten, it's gone). It started growing slips!! I've never had that happen before! We live much further north than you, so many people here grow potatoes, but not many do sweet potatoes because of our very short growing season. I knew you had videos on this, so I found this one and now we know what to do! Along with our potatoes, we'll now be growing sweet potatoes. So excited!!!
You two are awesome. Thanks for this video.
Thanks to your video I will be able to start my sweet potatoes in late August for some fall and winter garden.
Thanks you guys! This is the first year I do this; last year I purchased my slips online, so this is new for me and you're right, they do look pretty in the house! :)
Loved the video. Thanks for that info I am excited about my garden this year.
This video was better than the first one I saw! I have one sweet potato started, but don't have it in the sun...thank you!!
This was interesting to us. We failed miserably growing them in our garden but this is our first year with a raised garden. So we'll try again this spring. Thanks so much for all your tips.
Thanks for the tip!! Never knew how to start them..
This is a great idea! Who knew it was so simple!
I'll certainly be doing this soon!
You made this so simple to understand, thank you so much!
Thanks for the tip! I'm going to have to try this. Love the channel, keep up the good work!
First year trying it! Thanks again Doug and Stacy!
I was compelled to go and buy an organic sweet potato after seeing this lol 😆 and I hurried to get it home to set up! I live in cold Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺, but it summer here now, so it should grow ok. I will keep my slips in an indoor pot in my sunroom. Lots of light and warmth. In winter it will live in a warmer room. Thanks. Great video 😊👍🍠
I’m excited doing my first sweet potatoes 🍠 this year. Thanks to you and the explanation on how to simply do it. 👍👍
I have some sweeties hiding in my potato bowel that have long rooting now...wondered if they would make it til spring. Thanks for this I'm gonna try it! Stacy I love your hat!
Wow best video, easy , to the point and easy to grasp for a first time grower. Thank you
Thanks you guys! I just took care of my sweet potatoes using your information!!!
I got my hands on a lovely purple sweet potato from the local farmers market last year. Before I got around to eating it, it started growing these gorgeous slips, just right there on my countertop, no water. I plopped it in a mini greenhouse in my apartment over the winter not realizing I should have put it in a jar of water. Nonetheless it's been incredibly prolific producing at least seven hearty (purple) slips and dozens of leaves all on its own. Last night I finally put her in a jar with water and now can't wait to see what these slips produce in a grow bag on my balcony this summer. 😊😊 Thanks for the awesome video.
Hi guys. Thanks for this info. Going to try these this year. ❤
Reminds me I need to start those today! Thanks!
Love this! Thank you so very much for this wonderful info on sweet potato slips... easy peasy, I'm going to do it! :-)
My Sweet potatoes (big junk in the jar) are part of my morning ritual...everymorning, I say good morning to them...cause a little encouragement goes along way, and we get excited to see the new growth, especially in the winter..lol . Thumbs up on this video ...cheers.
How long does it take for a mixture strip?
I'm in N.Y and want a good head start.
Came back to watch again because we're getting ours going today! :) Thanks for sharing!
Thank you...
I started mine today..
You guys are excellent teachers 😉
Trying the sweet potatoes again in our short growing season. I have to remember to give them fresh water often! Thanks for sharing!
Starting my slips next week as soon as I can get in town to buy organic potatoes! Very exciting!
I'm doing my best to become a homesteader. Love your videos, so helpful
Thanks y'all!!! I'm going to start mine tonight!!! Thanks for a video that shows what a SLIP is. So many have said put it in water then plant the slip and I'm like, WHAT does that mean!!! Very helpful video. I might have sweet potatoes all over the place.
we got our sweet potato started today! Thank you for the tips 😄👍
My family loves sweet potatoes. I really want to try this. I had no idea it was so easy.
Great info. I bought slips from Baker Creek this year that arrived dead. They were soooo sweet and apologized up one way and down another and refunded my money no problem! They are a GREAT company. This next year I'm growing my own like this though! TFS! Love and hugs! Lisa
Three cheers for Doug and Stacy! Hip Hip Hooray! I haven't done sweet potatoes for a few years.....but the kids are excited to do your "science experiment". As an extra bonus we get food! Thanks for the inspiration!
we are going to do this! did not have success with regular potatoes but excited to try this! thanks !
I'm going to start some today. Thanks
I'm totally going to do this one! Thanks a bunch for the video! :)
