Grow rice 🌾 it’s easy!

[@delyco1]

I came across this video while researching how to grow native rice in Michigan wetlands. Then I realized I KNOW YOU. You taught me how to french braid on the school bus as kids!

[@BrieThePlantLady]

Oh my gosh, really? That so cool! Crazy small world!

[@janetleeharrison]

Thanks for opening my eyes & teaching me about growing grains. I had never even heard of any gardener adding grains into their landscape until you came along. I've got to give the Black Madras rice a try. Love the burgundy color! Enjoy your weekend.

With how expensive groceries are getting, I should TOTALLY try this. It's below freezing here in KY, but I may start by growing them indoors under a grow light so I don't have to wait till summer. Once summer comes, rice should grow really nicely. Temperatures here routinely get into the 90s in the summer, and I use a sump pump and a couple hundred feet of corrugated pipe to prevent my yard from turning into a swamp.

its interesting to see the beginning steps, I would like to also see the harvesting process and the end results of your rice plants.

[@mylovelycrazylife]

Hi Brie, awesome video! Would you be able to make a video about how to the harvest rice? I’m curious how a home grower would get the hulls off in order to cook and eat it. Thank you so much!

[@ninastone9054]

That is a good question! If it is simple, I might try to grow it. Especially since grocery costs keep going up

[@monikal9384]

I was going to ask the same thing!😊

[@andriuhee2710]

You could use an enormous mortar and pestle to pound the rice, but anything that can lightly crush the rice will work. Keep in mind that all rice grows as brown rice, so you will need to process the rice more if you want white rice! Hope this helps

Couple weird comments

[@georgevanhoose6333]

I have 2 acres, VERY dark loam soil, and red clay subsoil, in Zone 6a, with extremely poor drainage and full sun. I'm looking for a staple crop for about 0.1 acre of my land that can handle waterlogged soil, and possibly consume water. I'm also going to grow wheat so I'll need something that can take up excess water. Plus my wife really loves rice. Definitely going to give rice a try.

[@UDGMTVLINK]

*Jesus Christ is Lord & He is coming soon. Don’t take that* 💉

[@earthangeltribe]

U can also raise your garden bed of the soil isn’t sutitable:

[@georgevanhoose6333]

@@earthangeltribe Did that as well. So far it's going... alright. It's been dryer than anticipated so I've had to water rigorously during the dry periods. But the rice itself has done its job of taking up excess water, and it has thus far helped remove excess groundwater near my wheat when it does rain. The weather has followed a pattern of staying dry for two weeks and then letting loose with a half-inch or even a full inch in one downpour. The rice helps regulate available water in the soil so the other crops don't drown.

[@CyndiGarguilo]

You should grow wild rice.. it’s the healthiest

[@Ash-xx5zd]

"I'm really giving it my best shot" I love that! Personally this video is excellent. Gave a lot of info in a short concise length. Would love to know varieties and maybe heat tolerance. But a tuber needs to hold on to some info to make more videos.... improve your sound (background noise is really not an issue... it bothers some people, but your outdoors. Lol) and your SOLID. Maybe ask Putnam give u some advise on improving sound. Thank you for your wisdom! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I live in Alberta Canada. I purchased organic brown rice form a big box store and soaked it in water for 24 hrs (tap water). I fished through it and picked out anything that turned green. I layered that in paper towel and in a plastic bag. Most of them sprouted!!!! I have just placed them in soaked garden dirt and placed them in a window. I have done this before and forgot tow water them so I hope that I will be able to bring these to fruition this time. I have a greenhouse and I'll keep my fingers crossed.

When do you know the rice is ready to be harvest? When it turns brown? Do you have to handpick the rice? I tried to grow rice in the past two years but they never even germinate. I still have some rice seeds from MIgardener so I’m going to try again this year after watching your video. Thanks. I just bought your book and love your videos as well!

I will post videos when that time comes around. But yes the seed turns from green to yellow and that the time for eating harvest. I’ve been letting my seed get fully mature to save for replanting the past few years.

I've got an old bathtub in my garden and want to grow rice in it!

I'm guessing you're in the Triad. Here in Charlotte, we are closer to an 8A/9B. I am going to grow mine next year in those plastic kiddie pools you can get at Walmart grocery stores for around $8. If I can ever move up to my redwood preserve in Stokes Co., I have a few acres of bottomlands I can easily flood for a farm to fork supply. Any suggestions for a "gourmet variety?" It was supposed to be a nice creekside grove of 1,200 dawn redwoods, but the beavers have destroyed that scenario. This is the next best one I can think of.

Hope it worked out for you. Have U seen rice grown floating on lakes and even in mangroves with sea water. Every nutrient to maintain health is in sea water even calcium. I have grown tomatoes in sea sand and tomatoes are fantastic. Some farmers near ocean California grow sweet potato in sea sand with enormous crops. Aeroponics is my next venture with my home garden but with diluted sea water. There is great vids on potatoes with aeroponics but I want to try drip method from just a plastic bottle suspended above. I'm in Australia and on Sunshine coast with good weather but ferals get in and destroy my seedlings. Have almost given up but hopefully these crims will be stopped soon.

Yes water after sowing and once it germinates keep the container saturated. Since it’s a pot with no holes it is easy to do. Once it develops Seed heads form you can stop watering to allow the seed to mature and dry.
