What's up hillbillies today. I'm going to showing you how to grow your all superintended. I was in a five-gallon bucket.
It's an extremely fast process of sitting here and what I'm trying to grow anything and sweet potato that I had, which is in natural light and just starting to sprout one day. That got me on the idea of growing sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, and potatoes. You can continuously eat. They're a great source of food.
This is a very easy way to grow up and because they're a five-gallon bucket and you could bring some and glow them through the winter time. So, you got this called the street fit of slip. Every single node and joint will actually produce a sweet potato vine.
Super simple guys, again in under five minutes, that was all the labor that was required to actually get you and your family, a bountiful harvest of sweet piddle. We'll show you what that looks like when we harvest them here in a few months until that guys like subscribe, check out the other stuff and we'll see you next time.

I did planted sweet potato last yr. During winter I put them indoor but the root rice aphids came in too with them or with other plants from outside and keep.sprsying them with all kinds of spray neem oil with soap water solution, but doesn't work. Their population decrease but I still see them around... I tried amonia bleach also 3 % hydrogen peroxide. Their population become lesser and lesser. I hope sooner or.later they are gone. Can't wait for the summer to bring them.out to remove the flying aphids gin the house. They attacked all my plant, kalamansi, snake plants they live inside the soil.., oregano... my sweet potato died too due to rice root aphids..

You can plant extra sweet potatoes next to the chicken coop. The chickens fertilize the sweet potatoes, and you can feed the greens to the chickens as they grow. Then at the end of the year you harvest the sweet potatoes and the chicken meat.

The sweet potatoes are great! Being that you're in London and have access to tons of foreign markets, you make be able to find TONS of potatoes that aren't available here. You could grow like 20 different kinds and see what works/tastes best for your climate! FYI, sweet potatoes are tropical only plants, so the first frost WILL kill them. Keep an eye if you're planning on growing through winter.

Then replant. Not sure if it'll work, but then we'd always have one set of 3 buckets coming into harvest.

@hillbilly-homestead Жыл бұрын

If you have the ability to dig swales outside, contour the land to start holding water when it does rain and it can soak in. If it's possilbe to divert AC unit condensation, or grey water from a sink, those can be used to water raised beds. Most important part is keeping everything moist. if you can spend $20-50 on tubes and pipes, you could probably make something that self waters.

Loved this, especially the concise and professional way you presented the topic. I got here by way of Haxman's growing towers video, and am curious if it's possible to grow these in something similar. I live in a city in a desert, so growing space is at a premium.

@hillbilly-homestead Жыл бұрын

I am not sure about that specific product as I have no direct experience with it. HOWEVER, I know usually the growing tower kind of systems usually are tough for root vegetables to grow. I know some soil based towers you can get carrots and radishes, but aquaponics/aeroponics style systems often produces really small roots. (which is the parts we want to eat). I know there are tons of patio gardeners using these container pots with success. I helped my friend setup his garden as he has limited space. amzn.to/3qTKfNP. For watering you can try these globes. Since you're in a desert environment, they get water directly to the roots where it's needed, w/o drying out. Its also easy to see if/when you need to rewater. amzn.to/3LslbqL

Howdy Donna! I was in IT, then went into manufacturing where I learned about "2 Second Lean". I then applied 2 Second Lean to my finances, and retired 15 months later. Got bored and started a company and am now working on retiring the company. I actually have my other KZfaq Channel, Hillbilly Millionaire, and it's dedicated to helping people life hack their way to financial freedom.

If you really want to be cheap, go to a Whole Food Organic store somewhere. My local store will give me seed potatoes. Once they start to develop eyes, they don't sell them, they're garbage. I tried to buy them from the store as "seed" potatoes, but they wouldn't let me do that. They had rather encourage an organic grower.

You're so welcome Jaqueline! I'm glad you're out there gardening! Also, if there is a frost that hits, they'll die that night. You may be able to prolong them if you can bring them in and set by the window. I'm going to start taking the vines and making slips (clip some, put them in water, wait), and start a whole new set of buckets that I'll bring inside. This way i'll have some food that finishes about December just in time for Christmas!

Some will start to produce a slip on it's own. But if you want to force it to slip, you can put it in a cup of water. Change the water every day for a few weeks.
