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

[Music] This is how you grow sweet potatoes. This is the first step: get the sweet potatoes.

Okay, the next step is to get some potting soil. So, I'm going to bury them down in there, and then they go into a hot spot.

Then they'll spring into action and start making what is called slips. We're going to come back and pull the slips off of them in a few [Music] 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.

All righty, this is what we're going to grow the sweet potatoes in: in a box of wood chips. Let's get this little freak down in there.

Let's give it some water here. It's very important that you give them a lot of water for like the first month. Put a little jar over it; that's continuing that greenhouse effect, 'cause you want to keep it hot.

Then, come the fall, you just knock the box over if it's not already rotten by that point, and then you pick up the sweet potatoes. You don't have to dig! It's pretty cool.
