How To Grow Sweet Potatoes, Growing Slips! - Part 1 of 3

Growing Your Own Sweet Potatoes Starts With First Growing The Slips. Sweet Potatoes are not like regular Potatoes and are in fact only distantly related. Instead of planting chunks of the tuber in hopes that the "eyes" will sprout, Sweet Potato growers sprout the shoot end of the tuber with a mass of new vines known as "slips". From these slips, unlimited new Sweet Potatoes can be grown. Now, these guys are tropical and any soil temperatures below 60F will not be tolerated. I live in Canada, so I'll be starting my slips indoors, making well-rooted starter plants, and then in Video #2, I'll be transitioning them into larger (very large) pots to grow indoors. Should be a fun 3-part series, and up until now I've never seen anyone try to grow Sweet Potatoes indoors! Regrowing veggies from the veggies themselves is super fun, super easy, and super self sufficient!
