Sweet Potato Harvest. This is the video so many of you have been waiting for, my sweet potato harvest. I planted them in April in sand and sawdust and fed them with the Mittleider weekly feed mineral fertilizer. I really didn't do much more than that but the sweet potato harvest was amazing! Sweet potatoes are highly nutritious and store well when cured properly. This is a great preparedness food. Please like, and share this video and check out the links below for more information. I look forward to your comments.

What amazes me is this looks so easy, so WHY are they SO expensive in the stores? I grew up as a kid with gardens and had my own for years. I am going to try growing potatoes, different types and the sweet potatoes for sure.

I have never gotten potatoes which are regular sized. I will be and both sand and sawdust to my garden. It is already established. I may add 2 parts to 1 part of to compensate for the 75 to 25.

Were these grown in Utah? I can seem to grow them in Idaho all that well. Season too short?

great series, thank you. Congratulations on your harvest!

he planted them in 1013 wow old potatos

im in tasmania Australia cooler climate I have sprouted 8 slips on sunny window sill for 8weeks thanks to your video I now know what to do with them my garden beds will be sawdust and sand for sure..im excited they are so lush.

So I'm harvesting mine in the UK the same as you, end of November. If I want to create slips for next year, should cure them, and then wait until February to start the next batch of slips or start the slips with some of them now?

Really enjoyd this whole sweet potato series, very instructive , thankyou :-)

great crop, very good job, awesome video, thank you

Nice haul! 139lbs. That's remarkable and definitely worth the effort you put in. I never heard of the Mittleider method, but as far as prepping goes, this was a damn good success. Thank you.

what kind of sweet potato is this?

I see your wife got the job done while you crowed about the yield......good work Mrs. LDS.

yes i love this. Farming all the way. yuh eat weh yuh grow, and yuh grow weh yuh eat.

This is great! Do you have any experience with growing asparagus in a similar soil mix? I've got access to tons of sawdust and coarse sand, so this would be perfect for me... I live in a cooler climate (average July high & low: 70F & 57F) so I'm prepared to keep these in the greenhouse instead.

to the 76 people who disliked this are deadset fuckwits. great jobs though with the potatoes what kind of saw dust was it ? and do you think some types may effect growth? kind regards

WATHEFUK LBS?? WHATHEFUK LBS??

what kind of sawdust should you not use?
how about compost? what kind of sand?
I'm using a sprouted sweet potato in tap water.
thanks!

1013?!?!?! wow thats old

Am gonna try this in my country

nice yield.
did you know that Crisco doesn't have animal fat anymore.
Gmo soybean oil, hydrogenated palm and soybean oils, TBHQ and citric acid.
Sad to see you work so hard to raise health food for your family and feed them Crisco.
