GROWING METHOD EXPERIMENT - DID IT WORK?
Spolier alert - It did work!!!
Some months ago, we tried a different growing method to see how it'd work for our sweet potatoes. I like exposing our children to different and creative ways to do things, since it'll help broaden their spectrum and encourage practical creativity. For this experiment we basically planted our sweet potato slips in a mound of soil covered in a layer of rocks. The basic idea is that it keeps the tubers protected from animals and allows them to require less interaction and maintenance. In this video, we find out if it worked.

Until next time…
Make today special!
Nice tips that one added to the bank. I am finally in my new place so have a GARDEN now. Time to start growing although it's winter at the mo the planning phase starts. Time to put together all I have learn ummm might just throw some questing out there instead haha 💯🐒
That's a fun experiment and it's great to see your little ones involved. Reminds me of Sepp Holzer and his unique use of rocks to form microclimates. No matter what you grow or where you're growing it, keeping your soil covered is always a great idea. I love to use wood chips that are partially composted. It keeps the moisture in, protects the soil, and even provides continous fertilizer for plants. I may have to try mixing rocks in with the wood chips next year. Rocks store heat which is very helpful in colder areas, plus microbes in the soil slowly release minerals that were locked in the rocks. Keep up the great work.
