Propagating sweet potatoes at Malanti’s Garden of Skills 🍠🌱

At Malanti’s Garden of Skills in Eswatini, spring is the ideal time to propagate sweet potatoes. The women in charge of the vegetable garden set to work transplanting cuttings taken from existing plants, a simple and effective technique for multiplying crops without resorting to seeds.

These cuttings, carefully selected from the most vigorous stems, are planted in new growing beds prepared in advance. This meticulous work not only ensures crop rotation and preserves soil fertility, but also guarantees continuous production throughout the season.
