A Revolutionary New Method of Growing Ginger and Turmeric

[@anthonyd4309]

I absolutely love that we're getting long-term start-to-result videos from you on a regular basis. One of the big limitations of a number of gardening channels is they show you a moment in time, and if you're lucky perhaps you'll get an update months later - but often not.

[@Hoocho]

I love journal articles that undertake experiments that span months and years. I'd like to get to a point where I can provide that detail of information, whilst also liberate the process into an easy to digest and entertaining video format. The balance of information density coupled with audio-visual plus inventive and experimental science... That's what I want to watch. I want to make the videos I want to watch. Makes me happy you want to watch them too! 😊

so much to learn now that I opened a business and so many sources to watch and read from but definitely this channel is top of my list because of it goes deep in knowledge, presented with a user-friendly style, is fun and the channel facilitator gives a positive vibration

[@rossfairhurst2495]

Congrats on a much better turmeric/ginger harvest than some of your earlier attempts. Kudos! You have mentioned the bulbous nodes at the end of some of the finer (non-rhizomatic) roots. You mentioned that you were looking to replant these. I would be fascinated by the outcome - my understanding is that the bulbous growths are called ‘nodules roots’ whose sole purpose is to store up nutrition/energy in the good times and release it back to the plant when resources are lean. They would not normally carry the right tissue(s) for rhizome development or vegetative growth - just the nutrients/energy. I would not normally expect them to give rise to new plants if replanted, that role falls to the ‘mothers’ and rhizome fingers. But, what the heck - give it a shot and keep us all posted. LOVING the creative approach you take to tweaking, tuning and generally exploring hydroponics! Have at it I say.

[@hightechfarmers]

Amazing harvest! Too much is always the better problem to have than, not enough. So going to set up a row of those gutters in the next garden section.

[@danielsigursson6215]

When I get my own garden I will definetly run the gutter system. Amazing harvest!

[@gavyngilhooly8120]

You could use a clean concrete mixer machine as a tumbler for the dirty turmeric, and spray water into it. That could save you some time and effort cleaning off so much at once.

Bro how serendipitous! I have bee soil growing and mushroom growing, have a shed slowing the mushroom to buckets outside less intensive/cost. Sooo had the space and saw one your vids about kratky and absolutely loved how you did not convey in anyway your preconceptions and so starting getting the gear for a small nft in the mushroom space and experimenting with kratky and so are my wife (a teacher at school with a gardening program) and daughter as a student in a flat. Than today your ginger and tumeric, I just planted a how lot for this summer! Peace and love from Dunedin. Need to be resilient. The 3d printer is screaming. Why tf have I not already got one? I love your mix of science bro! attitude with a slightly bro science! delivery, its understated and relaxing. (if your can't giggle at your self ...) thanks

[@daveoily6482]

really cool method, just wanted to point out you can experiment with longer bags because you make your own. I don't know how far the moisture will wick, but it's probably longer than the bags you had originally going by the results you got. Just a thought, glad it worked out as well as it did!

[@angieg4811]

You've given me so much to think about for next years growing season. 🥰👍

[@zaccb1566]

To clean it, get a big tub and an aerator/air stone and fill the tub with water. Once you have a vigorous bubbling from the air stone, start rinsing the root in the bubbling water. The bubbles will get into every little crevice.

What can I say? WOW! Very interesting video, that just showed up without me typing ginger or turmeric. I have some turmeric that is growing well in a pot and some ginger that I am planting in the next few days. (Tiny amount of both, compared.) I have a lot of adapting to do, but this video should help. I don't exactly live in a warm area and by next month it will be below zero degrees and snow all over, which means growing it indoors. Will be checking other videos and the other channel.

[@davinasquirrel7672]

I came for the Ginger and Turmeric, and stayed (and subbed) for the passive hydro! Kratky grower here, and so intrigued at finding this passive variation (and win-win, for rhizome crops!). Bernie (Kratky) has modified his systems along the way to incorporate float valve systems in his various set ups. My current set up is generally for individual tubs, and a more chained system (with float valve) or even this system would be the goal for the future on my own property. Totally with you on the ginger beer, that would be the dream, but for the time being, more culinary pursuits. Like you, I did do the mistake of buying some starter ginger at the wrong time, and hopefully it will make the distance being over wintered in a cool dry place. I like your recycling of the coir, and your discovered method of bags on a roll, because I was wondering about the outlay for coir or coir/perlite for each season. Given the material is wicked with hydro nutrients, that should last pretty much indefinitely, good job. That you are aussie makes it easier to source these things (many videos US or other, usually hard to track down these novel items, at sane prices at least). Anyway, so glad I stumbled across your channel on the feed. Thanks so much.

[@oldman1111]

Definitely gonna try to grow ginger at my house now.

[@shanealexander9952]

I definitely want to try this one out. For cleaning, I would suggest a "kitchen hanging rinse sprayer" so your arms don't tire out. Maybe make one once you see it. That's a LOT. For the rope spikes, You can heat the cut end of a piece of pvc pipe enough to make it flat using a hot air gun. So it might go like: Drill the holes, heat the pipe, and mash the end flat then cut a length. I might even run the rope out of the pipe before I smash it. Did this attract snakes?

An alternate grow media that I have been using for the last 7 years is 60 percent perlite and 40 percent vermiculite. I have found this mixture to be have good moisture retention and for us here in the USA is cheaper. Vermiculite is used for insulation in concrete blocks so whoever sells the blocks should have it. I use this mix over again every year.
