You should try making a ruth garden. Plot a space with garden stakes. Cut the grass away then Put about 3 or four layers of hay in the space let them set through the winter. Then pull the hay back through them in a row. Put little hay on them and watch them grow. No watering, no tilling, no bunch of hard working the land. I never knew any other way of getting slip but from the soil. Like starts and such.

I love the videos in which you talk about the crops the old timers grew. So many seeds/plants today are focused on mass productivity instead sustainability and they lack flavor as a result. I know that’s not true across the board, but for the most part it is the sad truth. May God bless you both for sharing the wisdom you’ve gained along the path of life.

That is the exact reason I started finding and using heirloom seeds. I was disappointed that tomatoes did not taste like the tomatoes my grandparents/ aunts and uncles and even my mother grew. My tomatoes were beautiful but the taste was just meh. I asked my aunt that still grows huge gardens what the secret was. She said she had been growing old varieties like brandywine and beefsteak. I joined a garden forum and started buying a few heirloom seeds and well I got carried away but now I have tomatoes that are ugly. Cracked, funny shoulders, lumpy but the flavors ? Incredible. Even better than I remember. Especially the blacks/browns/purples. I'll pick ugly tasty fruit over perfect fruit every time. Happy gardening

Good morning from Florida. I had an old sweet potato in my kitchen that had started to grow baby slips. I put about 2-3 inches of top soil in a 2in tall cardboard rectangular box and set the sweet potato on top of it. I just set my dripping hose end at the corner to keep it watered. To my surprise, there are now about 10 beautiful long slips growing from it! Gotta figure out what to do with it next. I'm just getting into gardening and don't have land, just a small yard. Thx for this video. You two are awesome!

The public school system just doesn’t do field trips like they use to or I would support this wholeheartedly. I think a better way to reach children is by having a child friendly garden near a road with signs clearly stating what has been planted and pictures of what it will produce. Community gardens should be front and center in order for the passers by (young and old) to see what all is possible.

Take Federal grant money and then they have to spend the $ on certain areas. Ex. a certain amount must go to office supplies.... and the M of D employees got a cali vaca in mid winter for seminars -Thats why they received a new 4k copier every 2 to 3 years.

This is basically how we start Hayman sweet potatoes here on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. I also add some sand to the soil over the seed potatoes. The biggest challenge is not leaving the tops of the cold frames down on sunny days and overheating the growing slips. I plant about 250 slips a year and harvest 5-7 bushels of Hayman annually. I'll put the potatoes in the cold frame at the start of April and plant the sprouts in early to mid May.

I did the water and the dirt method and the water is a lot of extra work. I just use a small shoebox size cardboard box (only need about 5-10 slips) with soil. It takes a while and you wonder if the slips will come up then one day you see them peaking through. Water is more exciting because you see the roots but I think transplanting water slips is more difficult.
