Low budget. High yield. This is how the slip factory starts
This is how I’m starting sweet potatoes this year. 🥔
I like to begin about 2 months before planting time so I’ve got strong, healthy slips ready when the soil finally warms up. Nothing fancy — just suspending them in water and letting them wake back up.
Roots push first. Then the shoots start climbing. It’s pretty cool to watch.
One thing I make sure to do: change the water every few days. 💧Fresh water keeps it from getting funky and helps prevent rot. If it starts getting cloudy the sweet potato is rotting.
By planting time, I’ll twist off the slips and they’ll be ready for the ground.
Anyone else starting theirs early this year? Or do you plant straight from slips?
