3 tips for more larger Root Crop harvests & profit. #1. Ginger seed needs to be at least 1+ years old and fully cured before using as seed. Young ginger rarely reproduce significantly. Also Plant ginger with 2 to 3 nodes only. Larger sizes will Not give you a bigger harvest. Plant ginger seed in 25+ kilo size jute bags filled with rich loamy soil. If you give them more individual growing space & rich fluffy soil with partial sun your harvests size will explode! Harvest time is only 4-6 months! #2.Plant Cassava Nodes only, NOT the cutting and you will reduce harvest time to 6 months. Plant in raised mounds of loamy soil. FULL SUN IS REQUIRED. #3. UBE (purple is most desired) plant in trenches with a trellis system filled with loamy 18"-24" soil, your harvest size will increase substantially. Partial sun.

So much great info. Even for a home gardener. Much more heat and much more humidity than a home gardener could give. The fact that the seeds have to be first drenched then dried for germination is invaluable info. Thanks!

I have been growing ginger and tumeric in pots for several years in Edmonton. I have a tent in the basement with LED grow lights. I buy ginger and tumeric at Superstore and leave it in the plastic produce bag on counter until it starts sprouting and grows tiny roots on the sprouting knob. then I plant in plastic tub with compost and potting soil.

Same! I had bought some ginger root from Superstore a couple years ago and noticed some green nubs so I potted it up and it sits in the window my kitchen sink. I’ve harvested 3 times and each time replant a little piece of it. Definitely going to try some leaves for tea this time ✌🏻oh! And I’m just East if you in Saskatchewan.

Mold on ginger and tumeric- I've had success, not 100% but maybe 50% by cutting off the molded parts and soaking in hydrogen peroxide solution, let dry over a day or two, then try sprouting again. Sometimes the mold is already through the root, not much you can do, but this technique helps. I've saved so many pieces this way, I always separate them in their own pots so they don't spread disease.

I have been growing Galangal in my Dutch Bucket System for 2+ years now. So easy to grow with little effort (vermiculite makes cleaning so much easier than planting it in the ground). This is an Asian variant used in much of the Thai cooking. Living in Houston, I have an advantage because the climate is very similar to the tropical weather found in Asia. Also grow Lemon Grass and Kaffir Limes.

We have grown fresh baby ginger and turmeric in NC for 9 years at WindcrestOrganics.com. When we first started, nobody knew what it was and it was a difficult sell. I kept going because it is such an aromatic and beautiful plant and I loved working with it. This month we sold out a 30' x 100' high tunnel FULL in 2 weeks, direct to consumer. Start slow, learn the plant and develop your market before you jump all in. Babying the plants before they go into the ground, feeding / watering / hilling / harvesting and prepping for market is requires labor and real estate. They are not "pest free" either - but worth adding to the mix.

Absolutely worth the value, when you compare it with supermarket ginger, ok that one is bigger, but what use is "big" when it is dry as hell and there's no flavor anymore? Organic wins every time... Same thing with garlic, supermarket garlic these days don't even leave that juice in your finger when slicing it, fucking useless... Hell, onions from the supermarket don't make the eyes water anymore...

I came from India, we use lots of ginger in our cooking. I saw in Indian farmers buy seed ginger for planting, seed ginger is more mature ginger. It’s more then one year old before harvest. If the ginger is younger or less then a year old it may not germinate quickly, it’s good for cooking but not for planting.
