It's so great seeing you're as nuts about Stout Ollie as I am. I've been using it for years and there is just nothing better. The company is in Eloree SC, not that far away from where I live so all the feed stores and garden supply places here sell it. Don't know how far away they sell it but it's sure worth every cent, best compost ever. They don't call it "'Mater Maker" for nothing :)

@skgreenhouse 11 ай бұрын

You are right!! It's definitely more popular in SC, where you live. I discovered it about 3 years ago and I love it!! It's probably some of the best compost on the market.

Hey Justin! This was a fantastic video! As someone who has grown sweet potatoes a few years now, I totally appreciate the differences in method. One thing that I do that might be different is as the plants get taller rather than snipping off the sprout off plants, You can add more soil and those will continue to grow more tubers off of that direction. So, you can take two plants and plant them low in the planter and as they get about six or 8 inches taller you can lay them down on the soil and add more soil. Since you have a longer growing season it would probably work better for you. Then, if you don't want to dig out all of your potatoes on the same day, you know that each of those groups will likely be ready a week to 10 days apart. This is my first time on your channel, and I look forward to seeing some of the other videos you've made! Thank you for making people plant people!!

Love your video. I wish I had thought of sweet potatoes earlier in the season but if I can find slips I will plant them anyway because I live in SE AZ and we have a long hot (sometimes humid if there's monsoon rains) growing season. Experiment! Your video is very clear about what to do and I appreciate that. Next year I will start my own slips for sure!

I tried sweet potato got nearly discouraged as some slips wilted. However good thing is they are usually good in number or try to have several to make up for loss. What I also read is to cut of the part on the slip between the tuber and slip at the bottom, which helped a lot.

😍 Beautiful! Thank you for the video! 🙏 💡 I’ve seen someone do experiment on the number of plants in a container. As it turns out the fewer plants in one container, the bigger tuber. ❓ What would you do if you slips began to rot in water? (Small already shooting) Can I cut the rotten part off and keep them in water to grow more roots/ cut off the rotten part and insert into some soil? 🧐
