5 Steps to Grow a PILE of Ginger - From Planting to Harvest

[@lord9562]

Instead of wasting their lives away in Netflix and the like, people should start watching and implementing whats shown in these kind of videos. So well explained. Shows the considerable experience behind it all instead of just doing theory. At the end, the size of the harvest was a treat to see. I've not seen so much healthy looking ginger in one container. Perhaps a follow up video on how to preserve all that goodness in the form of powdering, candying (other forms) and storing away so that it can last a longer time.

[@saphedbarph]

Ram Krishnaswamy you are right. This is amazing!

[@donnabrown5727]

honestly I'm sure everyone has watched enough Netflix, Amazon, etc. to move on to how to vids.

[@RobsAquaponics]

It was one of our better harvests to tell you the truth but most aren't far behind. I do have a preserving clip if you're interested, kzbin.info/www/bejne/haq1mYZsZ62Lf7s Cheers & happy growing my friend. 🌱🌱

I live in Northern Nigeria (I'm Nigerian) and we plant ginger in April/May and start harvesting as early as September/October. Sometimes, some farmers cover the ginger with dry grass or fresh leaves and let it grow again for the second year instead of harvesting it. This triples or even quadruple the yield.

[@RobsAquaponics]

I've found that we get a better crop if we leave it grow as well. I'm still harvesting from a patch that was planted out a tear before this batch. 😉 Cheers & all the best Daniel.

[@msbaja1]

I like your idea. I should try laying down straw and see what happens.

[@drojanprojectchannel]

How do you do that. Plnning to do it in the Philippines

[@MariElle3]

Hey, just found your channel. I wanted to share my experience with growing ginger & turmeric. I live just north of Atlanta, GA, USA (Zone 7, if that helps). I know wild ginger grows here so I decided to plant some raw organic ginger (and turmeric) from the store straight in the ground here and see if it would survive the cold winters. All the green leaves die back during the winter but they come back every year (when it warms up) on their own so they survive with no issue staying in the ground over the winter. No fuss. They don't even get full sun here... they have less than ideal sun (understatement) being in a heavily shaded/wooded area. They do great. No need to dig them up and replant. I recommend anyone interested just give it a try. I took really small pieces that had sprouted in my kitchen before I was able to finish it, and they are coming back bigger each year! Turmeric is super expensive and it has the most beautiful lush leaves! Again they die back in the winter but it makes a really beautiful plant for landscaping in the spring, summer, and fall! edited to add.. the ginger is in a totally shaded spot and obviously I think more sun would be ideal, and it would probably flourish even more, but I'm sort of just working with the space I have... that said, more of a message on it surviving in the ground over winter and doing well even in less than ideal sun conditions.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Nice one Mari. I leave at lest one patch of ginger in the ground here through our winters so we can harvest it fresh as needed. Helps that we live in the sub tropics though.

[@MariElle3]

@@RobsAquaponics lucky you to live in such a wonderful climate!! I bet you can grow all sorts of amazing things I can't grow here!!

[@1980Baldeagle]

Thanks, I'm halfway between Augusta and Atlanta. I appreciate all your information. I love ginger and tumeric and have been trying to figure out if I can grow it here with the occasional frost.

Not only good tips Rob but I can see lots of work went into creating this video from the Growing through to editing/production - top stuff 👍

[@johannkilian549]

First thing I thought was "5 top tips to grow a ton of ginger".

[@RobsAquaponics]

Thanks Mark. Lost a lot of the footage just after I spoke to you at the meet up so took a while to get new B roll to finish this one. Also had to re use a lot of old bits scattered around hard drives. I think the next big job will be to index all clips I have & back them up on 2 new drives. Cheers mate & hope the family's doing well.

[@vink6163]

@Johann I thought the same thing - I'm sure Mark had a hand in suggesting this type of video! Will be interesting to see whether this video rates more highly than the norm as it did for @Self Sufficient Me!

[@RobsAquaponics]

"Listicles" always get more views so I've been told in all the YT training I've done so that's why I did it, no Offence Mark. We even joked about it when we spoke. 😉 I was never happy with the other ginger clips I've posted & decided to use my new editing platform to good use to make the best one I could. I have taking a few pointers from Mark when it comes to pacing/cuts & thanked him for it when we met up. 👍 You will probably notice it in other clips as well.

[@vink6163]

Interesting - I find the "listicles" style of video one of the least interesting to watch - present company excepted of course! At least that explains why there are so many videos on YT in that style.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Nice one Timbuktoo. Hope they grow well for you.

[@melberry5929]

I’m in France too. How did it go for you?

[@MissGood]

"Plant it out when it's over 25 degree celsius"... So that would be that one week a year in July here in Sweden haha! I'm gonna try anyway and just take it inside when the temperature goes below 0. Wish me luck!

I'm in a colder climate too! Let us know how it goes!

[@sunshinegurl3632]

I live in Canada and my ginger has recently sprouted. It took about 3 months and it's place in a room with afternoon direct sun. Place a heating pad under the pot if you see the warmth missing. Like yourself, warm weather doesn't start until late July thro August. I wish ou the best of luck with your gimger.

Great video Rob. I have been looking for this for large scale farming and at last i find you. Will send you my small farm ginger soon. Keep it up. Shared knowledge is wealth.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Nice one Justine. Hope the farm goes well for you all. 👍👍

I love gingers. This video is so beautiful and satisfying to watch. thank you.

I'm glad you enjoyed it Widya. 😁

[@cynthiawilson2906]

I'm going to try this process in a pot. I wish it like full sun all day because the back of my home is like that. I will try. A friend of mine had some wild grown ginger and sent me some so I needed to know what kind of soil, and how to plant in a big pot. I'll put some rock on bottom to help with draining and then I used compost mostly since I can buy by the bag. I'm excited to start growing. I live in Chicago area, so once hot season is over, I'm going to try and bring it indoors by the patio to see if I can keep it going. Thanks so much for this video by far the best one I've seen to help me!

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hi Cynthia. I wouldn't worry about adding rocks to the base as it's a bit of a myth that it will help with drainage. My pop used to use that method & stopped when he noticed no difference & found that the ants liked to move in & set up nests in the space the rocks created. Hope you get a great harvest from them. 👍 Happy growing.

[@deniseisaac4746]

So excited and I can’t wait to grow my own ginger, you’ve made it appear so easy. I buy so much fresh ginger about 500- 600 grams a week to make ginger or yogi tea and sometimes the quality from the store is not the best. Thank you.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Having a warm climate does help us a lot.😉 I hope it grows well for you Denise & you get some great yields.

[@roamingrodgers]

That's a LOT of ginger, I wasn't expecting that

[@RobsAquaponics]

Was one of our better harvests. 👍😁 Cheers Jason & have a top one mate.

I absolutely love ur chanel . i had hoped to send a pic of my tiny ginger growing indoors and im in NJ southern part. Our weather here is "ify" but I've been feeding it home made compost and ot looks great so far . and as i stated id love to show u . anywayz ill keep watching for more tips.i also have few pineapple this june is one year i have 1and a half more years b4 it is mature to eat .

[@RobsAquaponics]

Am glad you're enjoying the clips C.P. 🙂 The ginger should do well if you have pineapple growing as they both like very similar growing conditions. 👍 Hope you get a nice harvest of ginger when fall rolls around. 🌱🌱 Cheers.

Thanks for all the great info on planting ginger. I did well last year but look forward to a better crop this year after watching your video.

[@bonnywagner4069]

Hello Thanks to you, I have just harvested my 4th year of ginger and turmeric from my grow bags. The candied pieces are in the pot awaiting sugaring and the ginger syrup from Jeff Herriot is in the pot ready to be bottled. It’s November here and we had our first freeze last night. I had a question on the grow bags. Every year thus far, I have emptied the bags and let them hang dry for the winter. As I grow older and more frugal , I wonder about leaving the soil in the grow bags over the winter. We have drops in temp a few nights a winter that go below zero. My bags are currently in the garden. Some are in trays some are on the ground. How do you think they will hold up if I don’t dump the soil? Do you dump yours and clean them out? Some of mine are growing moss around the bottom few inches. I agree with all the comments. Yours are the best videos going! Thanks for all the attention you put into them.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Thank you very Much Bonny. I would think they should be fine left over winter. I would recommend feeding them with some compost to get the beneficial microbes going in them for the next season. With our soil, I just "feed" it up with some compost & maybe more potting mix if the level drops to low. I hope that helps some & sorry for taking so long to respond to your post. Cheers & happy growing.

I’m going to “gingerly” pull these out....no pun intended. 😂😂😂

Those were about the biggest Ginger Roots ever harvest I have ever seen. Thank you very much. Perhaps you can do a video on growing Garlic also.

[@RobsAquaponics]

Hi Allen. I have done a video a few years back looking at growing garlic in warmer climates. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJusaKOomNyAqK8 & this is the harvest video from that planting, kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYa1ZnZndqurj9k I would share this seasons video but the yield wasn't as good due to me neglecting them a bit. Hope that helps some.

[@kaarinrosso2400]

I noticed you separated the mother rhizomes from the crop. Do you replant, eat or discard them?

[@RobsAquaponics]

The mother rhizome can be used to start another crop next season Kaarin but I find that a few don't make it & rot in the ground over winter. The fresh rhizome will grow a lot faster than the mother so I tend to process most of the mothers. They can be a bit stringy so I like to dehydrate them & turn them into powder but can be minced & frozen as well. Cheers.

Thx. for the tips how to plant ginger. Very clearly explained. I think I'll try to plant as well. Thx. once more..

[@yellowdotje6278]

Thank you for this very interesting video. I am living in Spain since a few years and have to try out every plant or flower I put into the soil as the climate can be very extreme here (both ways hot and cold). Growing veggies and herbs in containers seems more interesting than full soil over here. My question however is, the containers you plant them in, do you drill many holes in them to have good drainage? Thanks again.

[@RobsAquaponics]

The fabric containers I use are called Root Pouches & drain very well. You will need to drill holes in any containers you use to grow in. Will help any excess water drain away from the roots. 👍👍

[@mackieguanzon8414]

More people are going back to or considering gardening now. Praise God for ginger. Instead of just waiting for Covid vaccine, we'd rather plant and consume more of nature's medicine. Anyway, it's still our immune system's job even with vaccines.

Is said to have so many good benefits for you. Bianca is getting me to harvest some fresh every day at the moment for her tea. Cheers Mackie.
