    Will ginger and tumeric grow in a high tunnel in a short season zone 5? Will it survive the winter better if a hot compost pile is started near it or 55 gallon water barrels?

    The sprout inhibiting sprays are not 100% – given a longer period of time and enough potatoes or sweet potatoes, you WILL get sprouts anyway. I'd still get organic for reliability, but you can keep an eye out for sprouting happening anyway on sprayed produce.

    Got two sweet potatoes in a tray already ( been about 2 weeks). Didn't know about the covering bit… that'll be remedied immediately. Thank you.

    Great to know! I just started my sweet potatoes a few days ago, but wasn't sure if that was right or not as far as timing. Last year I had some come up that I had planted the year before and forgot about, so I am replanting those! I did a vitamin C soak solution and soaked them for 15 min. Last year I did the soak and got over 25 slips from one potato, compared to the other one with no soak and that gave me about half as many. After the soak I planted them halfway just like this until the slips were all grown and ready to plant.

    I find great inconsistency with sweet potato sprouting. Some tubers produce slips like crazy, some make a single good slip and nothing else. And some just sit until they rot. All were saved from last year's harvest.

    Never tried to bury the sweet potatoes before. I usually just put the potatoes in a mason jar in water with a few toothpicks. I usually get about 10 good slips.

    Will try the ginger and turmeric. Thanks as always!

  21. @susandupuy7601

    Thank you for sharing this valuable information, look forward to a part 2 of this video on how to plant the slips. 🌱

  22. @rookiegardeningjournal

    So I already started growing my sweet potato slips, but I didn’t know ginger and turmeric can be grown the same way! I will be starting this weekend!!Do they need to be on a heating mat? ❤🌱🫚

  28. @greggp2695

    I started sweet potato slips the same way last year. I still have 2 of them sprouting from last year that I plan on getting slips from for the second year in a row!

    I’m way north of you. Typically a couple weeks out from your first frost dates. Can you cover those 60-70 days & 30 nights our spring brings and how to protect against overnight freezing? Michigan has strange weather lol

  32. @biscuit7910

    What is the difference between a sweet potato & yam?
    How do you know in the grocery store if you are buying a yam?
    Where could I get yams?
    The store employees don't know the answer to these questions.
    Thank you for the great info. ❤❤❤

  33. @Wethecenter

    Your new approach to topic titles … stop or never do this is ridiculous

    I will no longer watch your overly dramatic reels

  34. @KACn5582

    I have grown the same ginger plant for 5 or 6 years in a pot. Unpot it, chop off a piece and shove it back in the pot. I have it in the basement under grow lights right now (6b). Super easy!

  35. @pascalxus

    Great presentation! Question: should we put it on a heat map if it's outside in the greenhouse?

  37. @1millionpumpkins542

    Thanks for the reminder! I always try to start sweet potatoes way too late.

    We also received your soil blocker and are super excited to try it! Thank you

    Greetings from Wisconsin. I just purchased organic turmeric and ginger from the grocery store with intent to try to grow the rhizomes. This is so timely to be notified of your video. Thank you for your demonstration video and I will get them started tomorrow. I have organic sweet potatoes on the grocery list. So, those will be next.

  41. @brianseybert192

    By accident, last winter I found a couple uncured sweet potatoes, from my sweet potato harvest, did the tray method, put on a heat mat, in ten days I had slips forming, never had slips develop so quickly before. Have not started slips yet this year, hope I can replicate last years results.
    Stay Well !!!

  43. @hollykrupinski6727

    I started growing our own sweet potato slips this way after seeing one of your videos a few years ago. In that video, you recommended a deep container. So is the more shallow container like you are showing here the best to use? Thanks!
