Great video. Been digging for 40 years and have loved every minute of it.

Me too thanks for the comment.

@@Robinson-Homestead Here in Ohio it use to be 15th of Aug but changed it to Sept 1st did they do that everywhere?

[@joesmith6420]

Enjoyed the video, I use to only pick big mature plants..thinking next year I come back the next year only to find that somebody else picked the area clean ! Since than I stated removing all stems from plants I wasn't picking...so other pickers wouldn't take small immature roots

[@MissMolly3377]

Thank you for this video. Very informative. I just learned of this a couple weeks ago, so I am on the hunt. I am glad I have found some video, because I have learned to look for the bigger plants and to plant the seeds up the hill.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I have a lot of videos on ginseng and good information in them look in my playlist.

[@ubtrapper3077]

This is the one I've been waiting for Kevin! Lol Absolutely the best ginseng videos on KZbin. I appreciate your knowledge about Seng and life in general. You are spot on brother! I hope you get the opportunity to make some more videos of Ginseng hunting. God Bless!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I think I like making ginseng videos as much as you like watching them and I thank you for watching Ubtrapper.

[@Hatch61]

That is something that I have never done, I'm not even sure if it grows here. Thanks a lot for taking us along, it was nice to see how it is done. Be well my friend.

I love being out in the woods ginseng hunting .it took me 1 1/2 to actually start getting good at finding it.i love it.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

It is fun I love the hunt.

[@RubenFletcher]

Makes me homesick everytime I see one of your adventure videos. I can't wait to get back to Kentucky; Land Between the Lakes area. And to see those Appalachian hills makes me want to find land in Eastern Kentucky more and more; Bourbon Country. Thanks for taking me home again Kevin.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You get in Kentucky I will come down and go ginseng hunting with you Ruben.

[@RubenFletcher]

That's a deal.

[@kevinwimmer4159]

You give way to many secrets away. Much respect for only digging the big ones. May you find the mother load. God bless

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you Kevin I don't need the mother load just a few big plants. It would be nice to see the mother load I would do a video on it lol.

[@davidkilbourne6778]

cool man ! I have property that I only go to mow mostly. I have about 2 acres that's on the north side and has plenty of poplar trees. It also has wild ginsaung on it but about 6 or 7 years ago I planted 1800 stratified seeds and I'm going to check it out. It's about time !sept 1st is season here and I hope to do well here in VA.have a great day!

[@stevenfan1218]

Just wondered if you ever dug any 5 prongs.or better..I've dug 27 in one year .dug plenty of roots over half a pound.hane saw my brother dig one that weighed 13 and a half ounces..what was many years ago .

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I dug a few of them not many but I had some pretty big 4 prongs. Thanks for watching.

[@ClayColvin-r8j]

You set a great example for all diggers!

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Thank you I would love to see my grandkids to be able to see it and hunt it.

[@MrTruemassa]

can you also dig out a plant and replant it in a bucket and grow it further at home so that you can remove seeds from it next year is that possible?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I wouldn't plant it in a bucket but somewhere that you think is a good spot in the ground.

[@MrTruemassa]

@@Robinson-Homestead hi Kevin i don't live in canada. i live in holland but i will try to plant it in nature here. i ordered 6 seeds online. then i plant 5 outside and 1 in a big bucket to try. i live far away from a forest that's why i want in grow a bucket on my balcony. I'm really jealous where you people live it's so beautiful there I love nature 🙂✌

Hey buddy is Jensen still up in Pennsylvania October 3

[@jaredlawson8509]

I’ve dug a lot of sang in my life and there has been times I have dug one bunch up and 10 other roots be right there with it. I went one time this year and dug $268 worth

[@Robinson-Homestead]

Wow sounds like a nice find, thanks for watching.

[@nancywolfe1983]

I just subbed you. My son is deslexia also. Very interesting about the gensing. I live here in Scottsboro,AL and I think it is around here also. But I am from Indiana and just moved here 11 yrs ago after we retired.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

hunting ginseng is fun you just have to do some research make sure it grows in your area and have patience I have more videos on ginseng hunting if your interested Nancy thank you for watching and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@gatorsworld]

Really liked your video Kevin.....Makes me kinda wonder if we have sing in Canada....rely like going in the bush myself and it took a lot of courage from your part after you got bit of lime disease...not good...I`m watch`in .....keep them comm`in....CHEERS

I can't let a tick or lime disease stop me from doing what I love Gator thank you for the comment my friend.

[@thelastgoonie6555]

I don't know anything about this but have relocated to the eastern US recently. What do you do with your finds? dry it? shred it? sell it?

[@Robinson-Homestead]

I dry it and use it for tea, thanks for watching.

[@bksduskmirror1250]

How much money do you get per pound of ginseng ? I’m in Canada and im sure i saw these plants on my land. It’s full of it and they are big.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

At the time I did the video I was getting around $500.00 a pound.

[@milovsky22]

Do you have any experience planting the seeds? I hear they take two years to start growing ...but seems like a good idea to make sure there’s more ginseng in the coming years.

[@Robinson-Homestead]

About 3 years to get them started it would be great to take the grandkids out to hunt them thanks to the comment Josh.

[@2Ryled]

What if you got some rooting hormone and put it on the stalk and replantrd? Works for other plants

[@Robinson-Homestead]

@@2Ryled wouldn't hurt to try.

[@u.sonomabeach6528]

It takes from 18-21 months for the seed to germinate. In the wild it has to be exposed to a season of frost and a season of warmth before it will germinate. To start them at home you have to stratify them in the fridge or something similar or buy seeds that are already stratified.

[@19justincase84]

I hate to see diggers removing plants native to the location the ginseng is growing in. Try to keep the perimeter of your dig site to a minimum. I'll explain that in a moment. I dont know if your just trying to give the camera a better view. That's the only thing i would critique you on . Everything else is perfect! . Im glad to see someone other than me leaving something for someone else, or simply in the idea of letting it grow, re-seed or just getting it next year. When your digging cover up your dig spots, When ginseng poachers enter the woods they can see someone's dig sites for a long way. So try to keep the mentality of leaving each dig site the way you found it. There's some diggers out there, that will ruin it for all of us. I hope you had a great season, and many more great seasons to come!

I know it's ideal to plant them but do the plants themselves bury the seeds? Think about it, your really only suppose to put the seeds under the leaf litter, it's fall and they will het covered as soon as the trees shed alk the way

that works but hand planting them assures your percentages by 80% no biggie but just saying

All the three pronges you left behind in this vid. Now two years later, you got the mother load this year. The European got truffles hunting and they have to train pigs,dogs and plants trees to encourage the truffles. This is easier to find, just have to learn how to identify the plants 🌱

[@Robinson-Homestead]

You would not believe this they logged that property and took all the trees off of it.

[@DarkSchneider7]

I found a gingseng plant in the suburbs.... So I was trying to find some more.... I think I found another one but kinda worried about it being a poison ivy plant, the plant seems to be kinda tall, the stems are green but kinda furry, I can only compare the leafs and berries to be similar.... still hesitant. Question does the gingseng stem has any hairs??

No hairs just green stems and stalk.
