The Best Guide To GROWING SWEET POTATOES On The Internet!

This video is the best guide to growing sweet potatoes on the internet! I teach you everything you need to know to grow sweet potatoes including how to plant sweet potatoes, what type of soil to grow sweet potatoes in, how to root sweet potato slips and how to fertilize sweet potatoes. These tips will unlock massive harvests of sweet potatoes!

Sweet potatoes are actually not potatoes. They are roots in the morning glory family. Therefore, they grow differently than most plants we grow in our vegetable garden. They tolerate hot, humid, wet conditions where other more fragile, disease prone plants often fail, but sweet potatoes need the right conditions to develop a big root harvest. This video will teach you how to grow sweet potato roots instead of vines for the biggest harvest you've ever grown!
