Planting Ginseng Seed Using My Natural Occurrence Method in containers

[@jbelme1]

I bought 50 ginseng seeds from Lupine Gardens on Etsy for $5. They arrived early March 2020 fully stratified and sprouting taproots. One week in the soil and they are all pushing out of the soil.

[@lupinegardensllc7764]

Glad to hear you had great success with our seeds!

[@needachange..8773]

Worth watching this video, wanna grow some but no knowledge about the temperature, can i grow it the northeastern part of india, what temperature does it needs to grow, your valuable response please🙏.

[@danafrog3]

I got three hundred plants growing in my apartment,, but this is by far the toughest plant to grow, and keep alive.

[@rainazunaid914]

what is your plan with those plant. do you sell them or do you plant it in the nature? thank you.

[@SowWeDid819]

Dana Bellefeuille would you be so kind to share pics of your apartment garden ??

[@courtne-the-great7961]

Dana Bellefeuille Yes, I have 50 starting last week. I want to buy land one day.... but next year I will pot them so I can do air pruning. So far I have 95% germination inside and 5% outside. Still have 100+ seeds in my refrigerator.... 99% germination.

[@courtne-the-great7961]

Dana Bellefeuille how is your farm now, 4 years later? Any suggestions to share?

[@danabellefeuille8485]

@@courtne-the-great7961 they are doing great in the deep woods of minnesota,, i got ton more seedlings to add to the ones in the woods,,, my little retirement someday.

[@zanemcelroy7910]

Great Informative Video! Thanks. Your audio is a little quiet, ive had a lot of luck with a cheap omnidirectional pc mic plugged into my camera. The cord lets you put the mic closer to where you are speaking. just an idea. Thanks again for the video.

[@danafrog3]

I like ur method and 47 percent rate,,i can live with that,, they are suppose to be hard to grow,,i can tell ur have a forest full of them some day.

[@scottsmith4423]

Hello Mr. Ashe, I looked on Ebay and American Botanicals for your book . I couldnt find it?

[@FixAllFixer62]

Interesting clips

[@frankenz66]

Hi Paul, will it kill ginseng if you cut the sprouts early in order to deter thieves long enough to make them think it is no longer growing on a particular site? Thanks for the video!

[@rockwithface]

+yes it will kill the young plants , plant your seed or plants in several locations , this will help too. With disease and theft Franklin Taylor

[@frankenz66]

I think armadillos are getting them this year. There are a lot of holes that are left uncovered and also several dead trees that something did some significant digging yet too small for bears. No tunneling either like it would with moles.I put down a bunch of ground castor beans. Thanks for writing back sir. I am just a ways south of Branson, MO myself. I enjoy your videos.

[@rockwithface]

+Franklin Taylor they need to move south,, the climate is changing before our eyes so plant in several locations to get the varanice we need. It's part of the natural occurance I talk about in my book, kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXXMqJ6ZaJehbLs

[@frankenz66]

I have only limited north, north east and eastern slopes to work with. About an acre and a half to two acres of those particular slopes. Wish it did well on south slopes I have a lot more of that. I remember back in the late 70's the cold and extended snow seasons here where a "snow season " hardly exists for now. It put a major dent in them (armadillos) and unfortunately the road runners here. People found road runners dead in the snow often back then. A colder time for certain then. Could do it again.

[@DeezNuts-xo2ee]

Most people cant find it if you stand them in the middle of the patch! If its public land theres nothing you can do to stop them our local reservoir banned all seng digging period because people have no respect 😒😒

[@andrewyek]

hii Paul , is that ginseng seedling ? look like oak seedling to me.. :=) i have tried 2 batches of seed.. cold stratify or not, both rotten seed. non viable seed.. i don't know if the vendor are reliable or not.. lost trust in those seed vendor. anyway, your method seems ok.. if it the real seedling, then it could just might work. thanks andrew

[@nursekrista2011]

I'm in southern Michigan near the Ohio border, would it be too late to plant seeds in my area now( direct sow in woods)? Thanks for the video, very informative

[@rockwithface]

+Kellensmomma If the seed is starting to crack plant some now (direct seed about one inch Deep) and hold the rest in the fridge until April and plant then.

[@我愛嗨艾草]

If I put the spginsen seed in dirt in the fall,how long will it take to sprout?

[@rockwithface]

Stratified seed will come up in the spring if planted now, if the seeds are cracked open and starting to germinate, before planting most seed won’t survive the winter.

[@我愛嗨艾草]

@@rockwithface thank you

[@我愛嗨艾草]

@@rockwithface once I receive the ginseng seed, do I need to soap those seed in the water, and for how long? If I saw the sees in the pot now( August), should I keep the pot indoor or out door?

[@tinawoehler7095]

Paul , I am looking for some seeds for personal use .. Are you able to share of do you know of a good place to buy some seeds. I am also interested in goldenseal .. I am a very patient person so I think I will be able to grow this ..thanks for the video !

[@ycats1000]

great video, but why the wood cover?

[@rockwithface]

It replicates woodland conditions thus protects the seed from harsh winter weather swings, keep the soil moist thru winter, adding a layer off straw will help also. Thanks for watching.

[@Sgtassburgler]

Would planting ginseng in 2 inch by 2 inch cells work or is that too small of a pot? I am using pre stratified seed if that makes any difference as to the size of pot.

[@rockwithface]

Larger pots work

[@bobramirez7828]

How long does it take to grow

[@lmelkins22]

This is a retirement grow.. The more years you wait the bigger the roots and the more money the roots will be worth 5 to 20 years.. :-)

[@gaborburda1931]

Dear Paul Ashe. I will receive some korean ginseng seeds within 2 weeks(now 18.03.2017.)Please ,give me a suggestion how to start to germinate or shall I just put them in the soil or in th efridge for a while ?Thanks your kind replay in advance.

[@rockwithface]

this late in winter/spring depending where you live wait until about on week before last expected freeze and directly plant in the soil about 1/2 deep and water in. be careful not to break the exposed roots off .

[@gaborburda1931]

Dear Paul ! Thank you very much for your fast answer. I have just one more question= 1/2 deep means in inches ? So the depth should be 1,27 cm ?

[@rockwithface]

yes

[@gaborburda1931]

Thank you ,Sir .

[@gaborburda1931]

Dear Paul ! I would like to ask some more question from you about the ginsengs,may I got your personal e-mail address ,please ?

[@precioussoulswildliferescu8908]

what about stratification???

[@rockwithface]

They were

[@wompol7117]

Just clarifying. Thx

[@sunnykay5111]

How and where do you sell your ginseng?

[@rockwithface]

Sunny Kay Contact your local or state conservation agency, they will have more information . Please learn the laws and regulations for this endangered plant. Thank you,

[@escapefromny2012]

You don't say what the soil is made of, that you have in the pots. You only mention what you put over the seeds. Can you tell us what the base soil is made of? Thanks.

[@rockwithface]

woodland soil

[@rockwithface]

The base soil is woodland soil, as it has no grass seeds

[@escapefromny2012]

To confirm - you take soil from the ground in the woods. Do you sterilize it in any way?

[@rockwithface]

No need to sterilize the woodland soil, as it contains essential bacteria for plant and seed development

[@danabellefeuille8485]

look up dana bellefeuille on you tube, u see my new batch gensing, for 2023 season i will supply 2 week updates.

[@vickydeng7124]

Where did you get the seeds? Do you sell seeds?

[@rockwithface]

HSU Ginseng has good seed . Actually you can get seed from them now (spring time) and direct plant in the ground or containers. This seed has been cold treated over last winter, thus the germination process has started. The main plus is the seed has not started to crack open like seed held to the fall usually does . Once the seed opens and the root starts growing a freeze will kill it. Just last week , May 21, 2016 I planted a pound of seed from Hsu's . So look them up on the web and call them to order your seed. Thanks for watching .

[@DeezNuts-xo2ee]

Better check local laws on it we are not allowed to take wild seeds from the woods home here.

[@nursekrista2011]

What about using pine needles if cedar is not locally available?

[@rockwithface]

Yes

[@rainazunaid914]

Pine needles are acidic. not suitable.

[@stevelau1933]

Hello, you have some nice info. I'm growing 1/4lb of ginseng seeds this fall, and will try out some of this stuff. I was just on the phone with you, and you can check out pictures of some of my stuff at steve's peony garden. It's just a gardening blog.

[@AngelaBlesh]

Hi if I have germinating seeds can I plant in the spring?

[@rockwithface]

+Keenan Vanderventer Yes just plant the seed without breaking the roots and water them in as you plant. Cover the seed with soil about 1/2 to 3/4 inch deep

[@danafrog3]

Keenan Vanderventer yes u can

[@chrisfowell267]

do you think that most American botanicals will grow alright in Tasmania

[@Sgtassburgler]

I would wager so, it is at the same latitude as New Zealand, Argentina, and Chile, and I know that a lot of invasives from the temperate northern hemisphere grow in all of those areas, as well as red pines and other temperate plants.

[@Sonamsingh-cm9zd]

U r video is awesome.. bt how can i buy it In India

[@onlyu2340]

Ok

[@lovess4051]

where can you buy the seeds from

[@rockwithface]

Hsu's Ginseng in Wisconsin, spring planting of green stratified seed is best

[@escapefromny2012]

Try Territorial Seed Company, in Oregon. I bought mine there, they are stratified for you, ready to plant and obviously so. You will see the embryo of the seed peaking out in most of the seed. www.territorialseed.com/
