Growing Sweet Potatoes | Live Free or Die: How to Homestead

this is how you grow sweet potatoes this
is the first step get the sweet potatoes
okay the next step is to get some some
potting soil so I’m going to bury him
down in there and then they go into a
hot spot and then they’ll spring into
action and start making what is called
slips and we’re going to come back and
pull the slips off of them in a few
weeks
these ones look ready
these are little slips so a slip is a
tiny piece of sweet potato vine that
will turn into a whole new sweet potato
plant already just what we’re gonna grow
the sweet potatoes in in a box of
woodchips little freak in there let’s
give it some water here very important
that you give them a lot of water for
like the first month put a little jar
over it and that’s continuing that
greenhouse effect because you want to
keep it hot and then come the fall you
just knock the box over if it’s not
already rotten by that point and you
pick up the sweet potatoes you have to
dig it’s pretty cool
