Survival Gardening–Sweet Potatoes in Bags
This photo was taken on June 8th. It may not looklike it now, but the vines of these young sweet potatoes will form a jungle of vines later this summer, and tubers will be bulging in the bags when they’re ready to harvest.. The plants were purchased from a local greenhouse and are now growing in 2 gallon grow bags of coir with rock powder mixed in for fertilizer. The bags are sitting in black trays. Bottom watering to a depth of less than two inches is done as needed. This is an example of passive hydroponics.
If you need to garden a little differently because of lack of space, poor soil, or some other reason, click here for Mittleider Gardening. There you’ll find several e-books, such as Grow-Bed Gardening or Gardening by the Foot, which will guide you into the survival gardening methods that will work for you.
