How to Grow a Massive Sweet Potato Harvest in Soil Bags

  1. Choose the Right Soil Bags
    Tip: Use 15-20 gallon fabric or breathable bags for better aeration and drainage.
  2. Prepare the Soil Mix
    Tip: Mix equal parts of high-quality potting soil, compost, and coarse sand or perlite for good drainage and nutrients.
  3. Start with Healthy Slips
    Tip: Buy slips from a nursery or sprout your own from a mature sweet potato. Place sprouts in water until roots develop.
  4. Plant the Slips Correctly
    Tip: Fill bags with soil mix, plant slips 12 inches apart, and bury up to the first leaves. Water thoroughly after planting.
  5. Provide Consistent Watering
    Tip: Keep soil moist but not waterlogged. Reduce watering as plants mature. Use drip irrigation for consistent moisture.
  6. Ensure Adequate Sunlight
    Tip: Place bags in a location with 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Rotate bags if needed for even sun exposure.
  7. Fertilize Appropriately
    Tip: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer high in potassium. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers to prevent excessive foliage growth.
  8. Control Pests and Diseases
    Tip: Inspect regularly for pests and use organic pest control methods. Ensure good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.
  9. Harvest at the Right Time
    Tip: Harvest 90-120 days after planting when leaves yellow and die back. Check tuber size before harvesting.
  10. Cure the Sweet Potatoes
    Tip: Dry harvested sweet potatoes in a warm, humid area for 10-14 days. Store in a cool, dark place for several months.
