In this video, I show you how to grow sweet potato in containers or pots. Growing sweet potato in containers is particularly useful for small spaces such as a balcony garden but can also allow for the plant to be moved to warmer locations in cooler climates.

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂
I am not disappointed Mark. This is great
im sorry Mark, but the way you dropped that pot in the wheel barrel was comedic gold.

Sweet As in a Container Bro!
Thanks bro it was well understood.❤️
Can you guys grow true yams like wild yams, moutain yams, African Yams, and any other true edible yam?
Thank you for sharing your reasons for the smaller yield, so that we may benefit. Will give it a try 🙂
Great experiment and explanation of what to do differently! I’m glad it didn’t turn out “perfect” so you could explain to those of us newbies how to try something different:)
How do you know when your plant is ready to harvest?
This is a higher vibrational dude all you spiritual mugs out here you know what I mean he connecting back with nature putting real nutrients in his body he prolly don't spray nothing with pesticides
I grow potatoes on my patio in big compost bag or big pot just for fun, kids love to harvest them. Every year we get enough for 2 big dinners. My next goal is to grow sweet potatoes, their foliage looks so much prettier and plus it is edible. Thank you for this video, big help ❤
All the way from Republic of Ireland Filipino
Love all your vids Mark , great info.
Pretty sure that was a mole cricket loving your sweet potato pot.
They’re one of my favourite breeds of cricket.
Love to the family from lockdown in Cootamundra
Some of us using containers or raised beds do so because of really crappy soil or infirmities.
Your possums don't look like possums in the states.
Hi dear… Can you show how to you make your Container please?
Hi! Did you say you can eat the leaves?
Note to self: Blame the possums!
Love the channel! Never stop throwing out the horrible puns sir!
awesome stuff mate
Still a good harvest according to me I do grow stuff in pots
why dont you cover half of the surface area with cardboard to retain the water?
The slips don't grow tubers, do they?
Fantastic.
I’m impressed
I rent in a townhouse and can not put in any fixed garden beds. This video is perfect for me starting out in the garden! thank you!
Love it!
I've never seen a opposum that looks like that lol
