Sweet potatoes are an easy to grow, low maintenance crop, but some gardeners avoid growing sweet potatoes because the curing sweet potatoes process sounds difficult. Fear not! This video teaches you how to harvest sweet potatoes and how to cure sweet potatoes the easy way in your home with a simple trick.

After harvesting sweet potatoes, the sweet potatoes must be cured in warm, humid conditions for 5-14 days to properly develop their internal sugars and toughen up the outer skin so they can be stored well. After curing, storing sweet potatoes in a cool, dark, dry place for several months is possible.

My simple method of sweet potato curing doesn't require a greenhouse, erecting a tent, setting up heaters or humidifiers in a room of your house or anything complicated or costly. All you need is your home oven and a strand of Christmas lights!

The big sweet potato harvest in this video was grown in a single 6'x4' bed with 12 sweet potato slips.
