It has been a while since I started experimenting with sweet potato and garlic to germinate then both in a hydroponic style. I saw this technique elsewhere, so I conducted my experiment to see if I would succeed. Both experiments are not planned as of late I am kind of doing things in my garden randomly and experimenting is one of them.

My family doesn't need a lot of sweet potatoes but I think I can sell them for some extra money if I ever get to be successful in the experiment. I also love to add sweet potato to some of our local dishes so I tried my luck. I started with a small sweet potato that I bought from the local market. I was not able to document this experiment but as I remember it right the sweet potato started to develop roots in just a few days and started to grow stem in just under one week, check the images below.

After I took the images above I just let the potato sit for a couple of days and when I saw that the new stems were ready to be transplanted I wasted no time and trasplanted them in their permanent location until I harvested them. I have to detach the stems from the sweet potato and then transplant them (see the two gifs below).

Aside from the sweet potato I also tried my luck in experimenting with garlic. I also put the garlic in a bottle with water until it develops a stem and eventually, a leaf. This is my first time doing this technique in planting garlic and the same with the sweet potato.

I also let the garlic sit for a couple of days until its leaf is mature enough to be transplanted. I hope that I will be successful in this garlic. If ever I get successful I am going to do it again so that I can also sell them for extra money. See the gifs below while I am splitting the garlic and then transplanting them on pots.

Last but not the least is the onion. Unlike the sweet potato and the garlic, the technique on how I experimented on the onion is entirely different, direct to the soil. But before putting it to the soil I have to cut the upper part of the onion. Again, I also saw this technique online, I was impressed so I decided to try it myself. This onion does not need transplanting just like the sweet potato and the garlic.

That is all for now guys, catch you up with the next one. Wishing you all safety, good health, and abundance.
