How to Grow Lots of Ginger in Containers

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Regarding the Ginger Yield: The ginger shown in the beginning was not all used to grow just one plant. I broke the ginger apart (0:53) into pieces to start 4 plants (1:13). The ginger harvested at the end was started from a 2x1 inch piece and yielded 6x4 inch in ginger. It would have grown bigger if planted in-ground in right climate or in greenhouse.

[@imiloa.]

Living in Kauai, ginger is plentiful. I've had some great success with turmeric as well. Pretty flowers!

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

Your weather is perfect for growing tropical plants. We visited Maui and I asked the farmer there if he has worms bins to keep earthworms. He said, the weather is so good, they are all over the farm, we don't have to farm them.

[@imiloa.]

Daisy Creek Farms with Jag Singh Yes, that’s very true, perhaps why I was wondering about the worm cultivation part of your composting video. We’ve also had great success composting directly into our garden and growing vegetables from cuttings. Great videos- great content! We subscribe and watch. Mahalo nui loa 🌺

I LOVE THIS GUY!! Thanks Jag!! It's your energy that is just like the energy in the plants. Happy!! Thank you soooo much. You're teaching me gardening.

[@adarshguptak]

Ginger yields more in flat pots, it is not a root crop, it is a rhizome crop that grows along the surface, so depth is not the key but the width of container is. That's the reason why only 2-3 shoots showed up, and less yield.

[@aaronblount3999]

The greatest thing about ginger is that if you leave it in the ground and harvest after the plants die back, you can break it up into more pieces, plant those, and produce even more. I'll be doing something similar with ginger and turmeric that purchased this year. Their primary function will be landscape plants, their secondary function will be cutting my costs at the grocery store...lol

[@eleanorcm7033]

The foliage on these plants is quite attractive. I would be inclined to grow it as a houseplant and then harvest and divide it on a yearly basis. If you had two pots of ginger and alternated between them, harvesting every 6 months, you might get decent yields and also a nice (cheap!) plant for your house. The leaves can also be used in stir-fries

Nice vid. Your ginger stayed fresh for 6 months in the ground than it would have in the fridge/ when left outside. Not a lot quantity wise, I agree with others but it's a nice feeling to grow your own veggies (free from cancer causing pesticides) Your vid has inspired me enuf to grow some myself. It's early April in the UK. Hope it's not too late to sow some ginger in the ground.

I grew ginger in Calif. and at the time I didn't know I was growing ginger, just a pretty flower so it was in the ground for maybe a year and then it blossomed . It has the most fragrant scent, way above any flower I ever grew. So I was surprised when I discover it was ginger I was growing and it multiplies fast. This was in West Covina Ca.

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

West Covina is not very cold, so it works. In central California we get a lot of frost and ginger does not make it though winter.

[@flickwtchr]

Ah what a lovely culture. A person these days can share something with the very best intent, not harming a soul and in return receive insults and hate. How lovely. I do have a question, how does the young ginger compare with mature ginger in taste?

[@DaisyCreekFarms]

This is the kind of world we live in. However, there are a lot of good people out there as well! :) The taste is the same. Young ginger goes bad quicker than mature ginger. Mine went bad after 2 weeks in refrigerator. i will try to get a head start to grow ginger in greenhouse this year.

[@flickwtchr]

@@DaisyCreekFarms Yes indeed, I try to maintain focus on that fact, however sometimes I do think it is worth shaming such trite senseless and random poison. Guess I have a way to go to the enlightenment of pacifism. Thanks for your response. Interesting that the taste is the same. The fact that the young ginger goes bad so quickly explains in part why older root is preferable and has been for a very long time. Perhaps young ginger could be frozen without damage.

This fresh ginger looks very good! Not a huge amount, still good that you grow it on your own!

I’m so glad I saw your video. I’ve seen several, but none mentioned that the ginger had to be underneath the soil or it wild dry. My friend gave me a small plant several, I mean several years ago. It has grown so much that it’s grown 1/4 way out of the ground the top is dry. Thanks for the tip. All those years, it never dawned on me that it was the kind I could cook with, so I’m very excited.

you have to consider that he broke off several pieces from the original. I grow ginger in SW Florida the same way, get the same results. I put several smaller pieces in the soil and get back ten times as much. Patience is always a virtue. Another thing: when you suddenly need ginger for a recipe, you dont have to go to the grocery, you go to the back yard!

I think mainly because of the short season and lower gradual decline in the temperature. Over all i think his technique is good for growing ginger.

The Primitive Black Hat Society - I'm in NC, too. I grew some ginger in a pot all summer. Just brought it in for the winter. I put the pot in my birdbath for awhile and it seemed to do well in there. It has 2 stalks. I haven't dug down to see how much ginger is in there, but I can see a little bit pushing itself from under the soil.

[@billthrillful]

I've done this before - a few comments: (a) this absolutely is "alot" of ginger - it's slow growing, (b) even though it's slow, it's worth it - the ginger you eat fresh out of the ground (or pot) will be unlike anything you've ever tasted from the store. My Mexican mother-in-law - who is used to heat - said it was almost too spicy for her. Crazy good!

I wouldn't recommend showering the plant in mid day sun. It works like a magnifying glass and burns the leaves more. Water early dawn before sun and dusk. Always before night because most of the root growth happens at night in the "rest" period. This is what I have found in my own experiences. 😊 loved the time lapses

You could try bringing it indoors to finish growing it. I once read that ginger takes a year but it looks like you got a pretty decent amount after the 6 months from that one small piece. For those who haven't read his pinned comment, he broke that root into 4 before growing them each separately. That's not a bad amount of ginger from one small piece, and if left to continue growing indoors it might even produce more
