I've grown sweet potatoes in straw bales for a few years now. Some varieties seem to do much better than others. Red Garnet did very well for us last year, and it did great for us again this year. I've grown close to a dozen types of sweet potatoes, and next year, I plan to stick to the types that have worked the best for me. As you will see in this video, harvesting sweet potatoes that are grown in straw bales is a simple as it gets. You just move the straw aside and pull the sweet potatoes out. Not only are they easy to harvest, but they come out cleaner looking than when grown in the soil. If you like to grow sweet potatoes, let us know what type you like to grow. You never know, if I haven't grown them before, I might give them a try. Thanks for watching! Here is how I condition the bale: https://youtu.be/tredysH3-ck Here is how I prepare the bale to plant: https://youtu.be/eUgUH2n9Xdk How To Start Sweet Potato Slips: https://youtu.be/n9ZIzs9PmIg Garnet Red Sweet Potato Harvest From Last Year: https://youtu.be/HYN9gxSuIGs Yellow Jersey Sweet Potato Grow Bag Harvest: https://youtu.be/YrbeZpdVWQA
