If you line in a warm climate, these three roots are a great way to add calories to the garden. We are concerned about fertilizer shortages and the food supply, so we plant a LOT of root crops. These survival food supply crops are in the ground year-round and we consider them our food storage pantry for emergencies. The three roots I cover today are true yams, dasheen/malanga and two tropical varieties of sweet potato. If you want to grow a survival garden, you should focus on calorie crops first and these three are great options especially for #floridagardening, gardening in the warmer half of Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and California. And they're must-have crops in Hawaii! Today I share how to propagate yam, how to propagate sweet potato, and how to grow taro. Thanks for watching!
