  • I almost didn’t watch because I have no problems growing sweet potatoes. But then I thought, well, it’s David the Good and I could use a little levity this morning. You never disappoint. Good sweet potato info and a good laugh. I really enjoyed the reggae music for them. Freedom to grow your vines! I think it’s my new theme song.

  • We plant heaps of sweet potatoes here inthe highlands of Haiti. One trick I found to speed up bulk planting is to lay down slips (or in our case cuttings), then walk along with a stick and shove the center of the cutting down into the soil for rapid burial. I'm curious to hear your knowledge on varieties. We tried to bring in a US supermarket sweet potato but they're offspring did very poorly. They seem to only grow starchy not sweet varieties here. Do you know if different climates are more appropriate for different varieties? Also, do you suppose layering would increase yields or just make everything smaller?

  • I started sweet potato slips from a purple sweet potato and the shoots are so thick and short I don’t know when I can clip them? I keep waiting but maybe they’re running out of soil? (I have them vertical in cups of soil to save space, it’s always worked for me with orange SP’s) they’ve been in quite a while. Now it’s hot in East Tennessee so I have em outside I’m thinking just to sink them into some space in one of my raised beds? Then clip the shoots off? Idk man 🤣🤣🤣
