HOW I CUT 1

- I made a video a few days ago about how to sprout and cut #sweetpotato slips from just 1 sweetpotato so that you can make 100 sweet potatoes or more. However, I cut the footage of me actually cutting the potato and repotting, and so many viewers were disappointed that I didn't show that, I decided to dig up some of the plants, show the pieces I had cut, and repot them. If you missed the original video, here is a link to it. • HOW TO TURN 1 #SWEETPO... Please like and subscribe to the channel if you haven't yet, because I'll be making many new garden videos in the next few weeks. Thanks for watching.

That was awfully nice of you to go to all that trouble! Thank you so much!
Too many people asked about how I cut and planted, so I really needed to show them what I did as best I could, since I didn't have the original footage where I had cut them. I'm glad this answers most viewers questions about the video. Thanks for watching.
Your channel has almost tripled in the past few weeks! Congrats Dad! 🎉
Thanks Laura - Sweet potatoes are the best!
I just found him one minute ago. Came here to learn and share a potato growing discovery I made years ago using plywood on bricks to cover the vines and produce potatoes under it out of the soil.
Thank you so much for showing this step. I must learn to garden to feed our large family. I used to garden and can with grandparents but it has been a while I appreciate greatly you taking time to show the steps. Thank you 🙏🏼 so very much.
Yes, viewers demanded I show this step, so I made another video. I learn from feedback. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for taking the time to show. 😊
You are welcome - I couldn't leave all the viewers wondering what the cuttings looked like. I was very happy they looked almost the same as when I planted them after cutting 8 days ago. Thanks for watching.
I planted mine about a week ago. Roots starting to come out! Am so impatient, I keep checking it everyday and sometimes pulled it out to check if it was not rotting 😂
Been there, done that, lol. If you saw roots, you are halfway there. There is still plenty of time to grow the slips, so just wait it out for the growth. Good luck, and thanks for watching.
This is just wonderful. Plan on getting a small green house and doing the same. With all the things they are doing to the food, we must start feeding ourselves without gmo, chemicals and food transferring from thousands of miles away. Thanks and Lord bless
My greenhouse is 6 ft x 8 ft and I just use it to start plants early and to shelter some plants in cold snaps. Total cost including the concrete pavers was about $1000. Took 2 days to build, but it was worth it. Thanks for the comment.
I planted sweet potatoes once and used plywood sitting on bricks to cover most of the planting area, allowed the vines to exit the sides, and then made sure light couldn`t enter using leaves/pine straw after seeing regular potato vines growing out from under the storage spot under the house into the light and forming potatoes under the house on top of the ground. The sweet potatoes that formed under the plywood out of the soil were perfect, huge & spotless. I`m gonna try to recreate this again using both types. I`d like to try it with a water/nutrient solution as well if I can come up with a great idea. It`s so fun to discover a new method or just experiment.
That is interesting. Thanks for watching.
❤❤❤❤❤
Great video! Just what I wanted to know!
Thank you, I was hoping to fill in the gap that viewers said I omitted in the first video.. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the additional information for all of us newbies 😊
And I thank all you viewers for letting me know that you wanted to see that part that I had cut. Thanks again for watching.
Thank you for taking the time to show that. I don’t know how successful I’ll be here in England due to our shorter summers but I’m going to give it a go.
Thanks again.
Just make sure your final planting space has about 10 inches of loamy soil with compost and wait for highs in the 80's to plant outside. You can wait to dig until the first frost, so you can probably get some decent sized sweet potatoes. Good luck, and thanks for watching.
Thank you very much I'm a northern from Wisconsin I'll put your knowledge to good use thank you be blessed Happy Easter
And thank you for watching, and Happy Easter to you and yours...
Thank you for your effort! Best wishes, WH
Thanks, you too!
Thank you! ✝️🙏❤🇺🇸
You are so welcome. There were just too many people asking about how I had cut the potatoes, so I decided to just let them see... Thanks for watching.
I so glad you are growing purple sweet potatoes. They are better for you and taste better also. Are they dark skin or the white skin Okinawa ones? Thoes are much better.
They are dark skin, an Asian variety I assume, but I really can't taste the purple. I've grown every kind except the white skin ones. A few years ago, I was using the lay in a pan of water rooting method, and the white ones all rotted. I should try one this way... maybe next year. Thanks for watching.
@@TheBackGardenYard I have eaten both. The white skin purple sweet potatoes are dryer and just taste better. They are the Okinawa Sweet potatoe. You can get them in Asian Markets.
I am going to try this. I don’t have rainwater so will try it with regular water.
Just pour water in a bucket and let it sit overnight, will do just fine.. Thanks for watching.
Thamk you...ill be doing this..i was doing wrong..
Still plenty of time to grow nice sweetpotatoes - good luck with them and thanks for watching.
I have had purple sweet potatoes growing in my yard for a couple of years. I only dug some up last month. I need to move them someplace as they are too close to my blueberries. I am waiting for your video about how to plant them so they are easier to dig up.
Interesting, what zone are you in?
@@TheBackGardenYard I'm in N. Florida, which is now considered 9a.
@@robertr1096 Now I understand why you can dig some in Feb. Yea, I will be [preparing the beds in part 2 now in about 2 weeks.

Do you take the slips off and plant them individually?
Yes, but first I grow the vines out some more in the garden to get more slips. This will be part 2 of the video, that will come out in about 1 week.
This video from last year demonstrates that well.

Does a single slip produce one potato or does it produce multiple?
A single slip will root and produce a rooted vine. Depending on the water, soil, and sunlight, that one vine will produce a large root mass, which usually will produce 3 to 6 eating sized sweet potatoes. So for me to produce 100 sweet potatoes, I will need to have at least 30 slips planted by May. And I am well on the way to hitting that number. Part 2 of this video will come out next week. Thanks for watching.
Waited to see how you cut the potato to get the multiple plants No video on this Very disappointing
My search is on for this novice gardener
I showed how I would slice between the sprouts on the potato on the original video, then showed the chunks I had potted on the how I cut video... Sorry it wasn't enough. The next segment will show the cutting of the slips, and preparation of the outdoor planting beds. Stay tuned for that one.
