This is awesome but it's pronounced "rye zomes" not "rhyme-zomes" !

[@surffoils6972]

I’m just your average dad in Sydney and only by watching your videos I’ve become interested in gardening. Now I’ve got a few square metres of a raised bed, a few large bags for potato’s and 2 Dozen pots for beans, peas, carrots, and lots of other veggies and citrus. It’s becoming a very enjoyable hobby but also an education, and a totally free source of nutrition and pleasure as I can now supplement every meal with free clean ingredients that I can cook / steam/ fry /grill. I understand that this is how life was supported for thousands of years and so it’s almost a genetic memory to relearn how to cultivate life. Thank you.

My day starts with a mug of ginger and lemon boiled up for 10 min. Add a tsp of honey for taste. I call it my daily energy drink.

[@magistradox39]

I do it too. Without Lemon. Because I do it while at work. Working in the oil patch far away from home. I do it with Camille tea. The honey I mix in my tea after it cools off a little bit. So to not destroy the good things in the honey.

I really appreciate the way you explain these things for "normal" people. I feel like your description of the "eyes" was perfect. Gardening isn't nearly as complicated as many professionals make it seem and the steps are often just obvious. Clear a space, lay it out, bury it a bit, water it and make sure the soil isn't garbage. Simple and easy.

[@ketansahasrabudhe9]

Useful tips mate, TY. A couple of suggestions: 1. Before planting, try soaking the ginger in a solution of Trichoderma overnight. This protects the ginger from fungus. 2. Grate fully developed ginger into lime juice add a pinch of rock salt. Store in a glass bottle(steel corrodes over a period of times). Drink a spoonful of this when you have indigestion. Prettys simple and effective. 😃.

I nearly died last year, the doc thought I had emphysema and or COPD. My husband made me drinks of ginger, fresh lemon juice and a little honey, morning, noon and night, even at 2am when I couldn't breathe. it was often the only thing that would stop me coughing. turned out I dont have those illnesses, but was affected by mould from neighbours old couch he left in the yard facing my dining room window. one couch was moved, my symptoms disappeared with in 2 weeks. I still take this drink first thing every morning, I swear it saved my life.I have now started growing ginger, but have learnt a lot from this video....thank you. loving learning lots about gardening

@@nesnaga hi there are no specific measurements.. Make to taste Grated ginger put in teapot, fill with boiling water. When cooled a little strain into a mug, add fresh lemon juice e and raw honey.

Just discovered SSM and I am loving it, just had to subscribe. USE FOR GINGER : our No 1 family use is for treatment of teenage pimples! True. It cleans the circulation so well and fast that within 24 hours facial skin improves. My teenage boys use it all the time, … I don’t even have to tell them too! They just automatically, voluntarily use it if their face is breaking out or they have sugary foods (pity it wasn’t the same response when the lawn needed mowing). Anyway I chop up fresh ginger into small pieces, put about a 1/2 teaspoon of the stuff in a coffee cup and add boiling water, basically a fresh ginger tea. You can refill the same ginger with more hot water a few times over. I often chop up fresh ginger into little single serve amounts, put into a tiny ziplock bags and freeze. Then when needed just take out of freezer, out of bag, add boiling water … instant pimple cure. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for this video! Here is some thing really really cool about Ginger, If you get a cheap planter or even a washing up bowl. Use exactly the same method you use for growing it. But leave it undisturbed for about 1-2 years and you will get the most awesome sweet smelling flowers ever. You can harvest some seeds and grow them and by doing this you will get seeds plants more suitable to your local environment. Useful if living in a temperate climate, Just take the whole planter indoors and keep dry over winter. Very important not to cut the old stems in any way. Just leave totally undisturbed, It some times takes a few good years for the plant to send up flowering stems, But well worth the wait.

Still have the cookbook long after the non-stick surface of the wok gave out. Asparagus with Oyster Sauce This is a quick, gratifying vegetable dish that pleases everyone. 2 Tablespoons oil 1 Tablespoon ginger, thinly shredded 1 scallion (green onion), thinly shredded 1 clove garlic, minced 1 pound asparagus, cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces 3 Tablespoons oyster sauce ¼ cup chicken stock 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon cornstarch, dissolved in 2 teaspoons water Step One: Heat oil in wok.

How I use my fresh ginger. I have to have a heart and both lungs transplant. I already have multiple stents in my heart. I asked a eastern medicine doctor for a natural treatment that I could use to keep my heart vessels clean and clear. I can't take medications for it I have had allergic reactions. He suggested I take fresh ginger peal in and grind it in a smoothie maker. I take one full teaspoon daily and I have not had any more blockages since I started taking the ginger. Also, the blockages they were going to stent ended up desolving before my procedures were done. About six moths of daily dosing cleaned every thing out. I mix the ginger paste with an equal amount of apple sauce and do two teaspoons of it. The apple sauce cuts the strength down so it's easier to take. I follow it with 8 oz of water. Enjoy the benefits of healthy vessels.

Besides using it in cooking I love to boil some water and using a micro grater grate some into a cup and make a tea, then either add honey or stevia to sweeten it up a bit. There is nothing better for the digestive track than ginger.

[@mariannatodd7010]

Thank you for this video! Watching with my young sons so they can plant ginger in their garden. Perfect instruction for home-schoolers.

[@glitterhounds]

I use ginger in tea for after dinner stomach issues.

[@SuperTuffgirl]

Great descriptions! I put grated ginger in my smoothies every morning, and lemon water in the evening.

[@tussilein2012]

[@cheesekake1841]

I'm glad I've found your channel. This is another valuable video of yours that I've watched tonight. Thank you! I love ginger, I use it for tea, I also cut a big junk of ginger and cook it in soup, learned this from my late Mom, she said it would help to make us digest the food better and also it adds a nice flavor to our food.

[@jaspershepherdsmith9047]

For years and years I would be sick almost all the time - common cold would morph into bronchitis within days, without fail. Then I started juicing ginger and drinking about 50ml of the juice every day. I haven't been even a small bit ill in over 2 years now!

[@GimmehLewt]

@@onlyreallove17 Here too, but I'm working towards it. One day I'll have a ittle plot of land and more ginger than I could ever hope to eat/drink/whatever you can do with it.

[@CaptBeefCake]

thanks man, love your channel, love the easy-going Aussie style.

[@dawnrobbins5877]

Very informative! I sometimes use grated ginger, turmeric, horseradish and garlic in apple cider vinegar, along with black pepper and other herbs to mix up the taste. Store in a covered jar. It will keep for weeks in the refrigerator. A teaspoon straight as a tonic helps with digestive and respiratory issues. It can also be used as a base for salad dressing. A teaspoon or more in a bowl of beans is pretty good too.

[@nancycathey1401]

Oh, please share how.... and measurements of each ingredient. Thank you

[@wilmaaevans8164]

Thanks for this great video. We use heaps of ginger on a daily basis, especially in our first cup of organic tea every morning.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Thanks Wilma! :)

[@justinjanecka3203]

We've got a great Shell Ginger (Okinawan ginger) bed growing in our back yard, if you happen to have some the rhizomes aren't that great but the leaves make for one hell of a tea and are also good to flavor rice in a rice cooker or steamer. Gives it a pleasant exotic flavor.

[@nicolebacon3230]

you can also use the shoots stems and leaves in your food soup and as teas!!

[@johncorey2347]

Great to have a "local" instructor, particularly for an absolute novice like me. Really looking forward to into more.

[@bachempenius]

Great explaining of the whole gingercycle. From soil, planting, watering, growing, harvesting, storing upto eating it. Even mentioning the different climates. Very helpfull. Thank you.

[@Mageofpie]

Not to mention Woolies charges $20-30 per kilo of the stuff

[@jxmai7687]

@Jodi Williams i bought one piece for the Chinese new year cooking, no other choice, but i do have few plant in the back yard vegi pad.

[@wildchookMaryP]

Your videos are fantastic Mark. It's great to see your love for growing your own food and sharing your ideas with us. You know I am going to try this because I would love to be able to grow more ginger. My first attempt was a while back. I grew one in a tiny pot and it grew in size. I didn't know that what I just grew was a success because it didn't multiply. Yes, I will try them again. By the way, here in Adelaide, it's around $22-24 a kilo for ginger. Expensive. Oh yeah, I sure love them added to whatever I was juicing. I also love to add some to my jam. One time I made some Apricot Ginger Raspberry Jam and OMG that was divine. From then on every time I make other Jams I added some ginger to it too.

[@Selfsufficientme]

Hi Mary! Yeah, ginger sure is expensive to buy! Thanks for sharing your uses for it! Cheers :)

[@azzaman171]

I'm going to go buy some organic ginger from foodland and give this a go. It's great when you grab a big knob of it process it and lightly fry it when making a curry.

[@lorrainemcintyre6501]

Average cost of ginger in Perth is around $26.99-$29.00 a kilo :O

[@marlonmodeste2028]

This was a very informative video. I can see how passionate you are about what you do, this is why you are so good at teaching. Keep it up, I appreciate it very much.

[@jorgerodriguez-ig5oe]

watching your videos inspires me to start my own fruit and vegetable garden.

[@akanecortich8197]

with ginger here at $40/kg I have started growing my own. I eat it everyday. even ginger powder in my black coffee is ace

[@Selfsufficientme]

It's $30/kg here which is still expensive! All the best :)

[@OligosFew]

Why on earth is it so very expensive?

[@MrBelseBoB]

Thank you! You gave me back the spirit to grow ginger and produce ginger ale, and with all your knowledge and tips i'm sure you will give my girlfriend back her energy to start planning the spring garden as the snow starts to melt!

[@killa46464]

Thank you a great video ! I love to put ginger in my smoothies with just about everything , fruit and veg . I also like to make a healthy icecrean using frozen bananas , a little coconut milk , fresh ginger , carob powder and fresh mint leaves or native spearmint is great too ~ I throw it all in the Nutri bullet , blend , and it's just like a spicy minty chocolate icecream . You can add any extra fruit to this for variety . Adding sultanas and walnuts once mixed really adds to the eating pleasure !!

[@flowerflower4587]

Do u freeze it before eating it?

[@MoroFullmetal]

Great idea!

[@nicholasbatty8923]

GREAT video from the BEST youtuber! Starting tomorrow because i love juicing with ginger!

[@ripe-kat6125]

Hi Mark. Love your posts. I put ginger powder and other spices into my coffee before adding it to the milk. My fav is a dash of cayenne pepper, powdered ginger, nutmeg and tumeric into the mug, add the coffee from the machine and stir. Pour over fothed milk. I use almond milk. Yummy!

[@JulieWolf]

I use ginger in spice tea as a base with cinnamon bark, cardamon, fenugreek seed, cloves, etc. I also love it in coconut milk soup and veggie stir fry. I love ginger. Oh and its a main ingredient in my carrot apple ginger juice and also Kale apple lime ginger juice. I wish I could grow it here in the cool shady forest of the Pacific NW USA (west of Seattle). I wonder if it would work in the clear cuts where there is lots of sun. Just gotta get it enough water in the dry weeks.

[@sambarnes2632]

Good stuff mark, thanks for the inspiration, I'll get some ginger down in pots (indoors) over winter here in the UK and see how they fare into spring. Absolutely love all your videos, you're a crusader for the cause that is self sufficiency!

[@elainebates6967]

I love ginger in my teas, coffees and salads plus desserts, well everything. Lots of Love, Light and Laughter Forever!

[@youtubiano8]

You're great man! I love your tutorials and I would say that you are Australian, right? I'm now jumping in this world of growing food, being self-sufficient step by step and I'm loving it! I must say thanks to Aussie and to farms for this! By yhe way, my favorite way to eat ginger is in soups, to stir fry something with garlic and chili or candied! Thanks for this video!! Have a nice day

[@InnSewerAnts]

My most frequent use, pure ginger "tea" with bits in :) also sometimes a little ginger in an otherwise mostly lemon balm and mint (of course also from the garden) "tea", I cook various asian dishes regularly as well and those often call for ginger especially since I make things like curry pastes myself instead of storebought.

[@suzandemir1293]

He makes it so simple. Wish I had seen these videos year's ago. But never mind, I am going to have a go now. Garlic and ginger. Great video. Yes an Australian is the best teacher. Nice man. Beautiful garden.

[@susancharles3857]

I drink grated ginger and lemon tea every night. I also cook with a lot of ginger

[@erinmilam2577]

I do the same, but I make in bulk and freeze in ice cubes trays and store. Ginger root and quartered lemon all parts in a pots of boiled water steeping all day tell everything is soft, blend in my ninja blender tell smooth, strain off pulp same pulp and store in freezer. My mix is concentrated I freeze in ice trays and store in freezer bags. Drink 2-3 cubes to 32oz of water. I'm a diabetic so I add stevia to mine. If you like it sweeter stevia is sweet the white cane sugar. It great in a glass of green tea. (1 or 2 cubes) depending on how concentrated your lemon ginger mix is.

[@bazokire]

we crush the ginger leaves and use it for cooking meat, specially chicken, beef and pork. It gives a very fresh flavour.

[@Selfsufficientme]

+bazo kire I have never thought of use ginger leaves in cooking thanks for sharing your tip! Cheers :)

[@MissBehaving888]

bazo kire wow great tips, thank you.

[@b.e.adventures2329]

Yeah! Really good tip. Always wondered if you could use the leaves. Thanks

[@pamelacraig1554]

I will be trying this. Sounds delicious!

[@komaljain1836]

I used ginger leaves in my black tea....

[@superspookey1]

I love it in my soups , coctails, stirfrys , deserts, if I have xtra i just chop n freeze.
