Excellent! Thank you. The more people who grow their own herbs and food and get back to basics, the less illness they will suffer. I give this to my dogs daily. We grow organically, win win.

I bought turmeric from Whole Foods and they grew fine. I found they sprout much faster the hotter the soil temp is.

[@Pinkfox56]

Just found you whilst looking for a video about growing Tumeric in England. You're the best I've found. I buy it from an organic box delivery company but not had any luck growing it yet or ginger. I'll give it another go and follow your advice. I eat a piece raw after scraping the skin off if I have a painful tummy from diverticulitis and the pain goes away after about half an hour. I got that tip from a doctor who uses alternative methods. I'm hoping to cure myself with organic kefir and probiotics but in the meantime turmeric is better than pain meds. Thank you and much love.❤️

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hope you can get on top of it PinkFox. We have friends that suffer from it so shall pass the info on. Try to plant them out in a container so you can move them around to the warmest possible position. Hope that helps some.

Thanks Rob for the great information. Ill be growing tumeric up here in zone 6A this year in containers. I love how big yours are. Because we do get a freeze, it will be bought in over winter and hopefully will be able to harvest some around Oct. Nov. I grew ginger last season with great success in containers so looking forward to trying this great herb. On a side note, I have been downunder a handful of times over the years (traveled the Gold Coast down to Melbourne)and the people are so cheerful and wonderful. You by far have such a positive energy about you. Much appreciated and thanks for sharing. Cheers mate.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hey Soil Samurai.👍 Is great that you're having a crack at growing some turmeric there. I was told that if the ground doesn't freeze you may be able to overwinter them under a nice thick layer of mulch. Might be something to experiment with if you get a good crop. Sounds like you've seen more of Australia than I have. 😉 I've only been as far south as Canberra as a kid. We live about an hours north west of the Gold Coast out at Ipswich . Cheers mate & hope you have a top growing season. Rob.

I started one in the heart of winter (January?) here in Finland. Planted it in surface soil of a small pot inside and it sprouted in April as the weather got warmer. Now the sproutsa re about 20 cm and I am replanting in a bigger pot (outside is still below freezing at night), moving to the terrace (heated at night and thinking of keeping the plant outside June-August and then either harvesting or moving it inside to wait for a harvest. Good tip to add heat retaining structures next to it, maybe a good pile of tiles :)

As always great to watch! Down here in Victor Harbor, SA, we could sometimes be counted as cool climate, I have turmeric in both wicking beds and aquaponics that has done ok for its first year, but might move them into my greenhouse over winter. Although, I am now constructing a second aquaponics area inside a new greenhouse, this should broaden the stuff I can grow and eat. Just have to train my bees to pollenate inside and then go back to their hives..... Cheers matey!

[@RobCooper]

Rob... so excited to have had my turmeric and ginger pop their shoots out of their home for the first month. Very exciting. Thanks for the inspiration. After spending a good month looking online for unsprayed seed root, I opted for organic root from the market. They germinated at nearly the same rate. Off by a single day between the turmeric and the ginger

[@johncox8882]

Howdy there Rob from the mountains of Tennessee US. I subscribed to your channel due to your aquaponics. A friend of mine four hundred miles south east(S.C. coast) was advising me to plant ginger, gongal(spelling is off), and turmeric as no one grows it here. I am a market grower and I am changing slowly from row crops to beds where they will work. The aquaponics water changes are planned to feed drip irrigation lines for the batch that is closest to the greenhouse. I have made up my mind and I am starting with koi so I will not have to heat the greenhouse as much. I am growing papaya seeds(well waiting for them to sprout) which is planned to make cuttings in the fall to over winter for spring planting as cuttings are mature enough to flower that way. Since I remembered this video, as I had youtube on auto play. Then my friend started talking to me about growing these items locally. Since I am growing for profit I need to know about weight from the crop. I am kind of in the middle between Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga and as my business plan is evolving I am venturing farther from home for markets. I am a farmer and I understand yeilds vary greatly but can you give me something to work with as to weight. Turmeric is $12.99 a pound. My short rows are a hundred feet long(30 meters). My idea is to split one row between ginger and turmeric by the green house which is 150 feet. A hundred and fifty pieces of turmeric is going to be pricey but then again if it works it will be a large cash crop. Thanks again for the videos, John

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hey John. Looks like you'r in around zone 7 from the map I saw. You could probably grow it there but an not sure it would give you a large yield without some sort of season extension inside a greenhouse as it's normally a 9-10 month crop. With ours we can get well over 2lb per plant but have has some produce under 1lb due to the position it was planted. I'm sorry I can be more accurate John

I think it may may something top do with your short growing season too. Try doing a bit of an experiment & let some go for 2 growing seasons before harvesting.

Black containers may be good in cold areas. But in the hot summer with low relative humidity here in Corvallis, Oregon, you would like to avoid black plastic pots. If you only have black plastic pots, you may want to block any direct sunlight shinning onto the surface of the pots cause it will heat up your pot to over 120F (at least 45 C). No plants can survive except for desert plants.

Thank You for the wonderful video.

[@RobsAquaponics]

No problem Santosh. Are you going to try & grow your own ? Cheers.

[@AuntieTriza]

Really enjoyed this so much! Fantastic video with heaps of information. I had watched about 6 others before coming across yours and you answered every question I had about growing and harvesting turmeric that the others hadn't addressed so thanks! Subbied you too :)

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hi Auntie Triza. 🙂 Am glad the clip have been helpful for you. Have you got some on the grow at the moment ? Cheers & all the best. Rob.

[@AuntieTriza]

Yes I do! :-) A piece my sister gave me that I knew nothing what to do with it. I stuck it in a pot and it didn't do much for ages (prob put it in upside down haha!) Eventually it sprouted leaves. I'm itching to dig it up soon and see what I've got. At least if it is a fail I now know what to do properly next time :) Cheers.

Fantastic video! Going to give it a go. I live in snow country in Northern US with short growing season, so will have to start it outdoors now in spring in a container and carry it indoors for winter. :) ~Sheryl

I have one turmeric plant growing indoor for almost a year in my hibiscus container. No flowers yet, will dig out next week.

[@RobsAquaponics]

+JuicingGardener (Sheryl Mann) I'd find the warmest spot in the sun you could for the pot. If it doesn't grow too big ion the first season you could always leave it in for another too ;) Hope it grows well for you Sheryl.

[@RobsAquaponics]

+VOTE4TAJ Hope you got a nice harvest from it. Cheers.

[@Iloveorganicgardening]

thanks Rob.. I was able to harvest Ginger last year. I just bought some tumeric from an Indian store so I will see if that will grow or if it's been radiated too much

[@RobsAquaponics]

Nice one 👍 I haven't had any issues growing store bought here but you never know. Happy growing.

Wow! Now that ginger is finally growing for me, after many failed trials I must try turmeric! It is very expensive here, so I will get some started indoors, like my ginger. It did well in a larger pot ouside over summer, had to bring it back in after our nights fell into the low40s and less. Thanks for all your info!

[@RobsAquaponics]

+kleineroteHex If you got some ginger to grow you should have no issues with the turmeric I think. 👍👍 What climate do you live in? Would like to know how it grows for you. Cheers, Rob

[@kleineroteHex]

Rob Bob's Backyard Farm & Aquaponics , thanks for the heads up- or thumbs up 😉 I live in eastern Pennsylvania. Crazy climate with semi hot but humid summers, at times really wet springs, beautiful autumns and whatever winters, never know if we get snow or just cold and wet. I brought my pot of ginger inside 3 weeks ago when the night temps went below 40F, then it warmed again, but I don't want to constantly move it. It still puts forth new greens, some of the older leaves began to turn brown and dry. Still have not dug in to harvest 🙄 I just want to put all in a biiiiiig pot and have it grow tons of ginger 😂😂😂

[@RobsAquaponics]

No problem at all. A small harvest while you're potting it up wouldn't hurt the plant much. 🙄 😉 Happy growing kleineroteHex.

[@kleineroteHex]

Rob Bob's Backyard Farm & Aquaponics the ginger is pushing a bloom - do I let it bloom or cut it off??? Have it in the house now.

[@RobsAquaponics]

That's great to hear. Letting it bloom won't make a different to the root so I'd leave it be & enjoy it. 🙂👍

[@pitbullsandcalicos]

Hi there from across the ditch, thanks for the tips 🖒🤗

[@RobsAquaponics]

No problem Glyn. Cheers 👍

[@steveipod1]

Love this

[@RobsAquaponics]

Cheers Steveipod. 😁👍

[@suehanford3959]

Really great information and presentation. I started watching about 4 other turmeric information clips and found them too wordy, so stopped them. Yours I found interesting from begining to end. Thank you.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hi Sue. Am glad that I could help you out some. Cheers & have a great one. Rob.

I grow tumeric in zone 5 in a high tunnel . You need to start the tumeric in early Februaryin a warm place . I grow mine in a basement under heat lamps watering as the soil drys on the top of the 6 inch pots . It is April in NY and stlll too cool for the tumeric in the high tunnels which I do not heat . The ginger tumeric and galangal beds currently are growing chinese cool weather veggies as soon as they are harvested , I will add mushroom compost bone meal and plant out the galangal and tumeric roots oh and ginger .

[@RobsAquaponics]

Nice one Linda. I need to get some more greens in here soon. Just need to find the space to squeeze them in. Happy growing.
