5 Tips How to Grow a Ton of Turmeric in Just 3 Square Feet Garden Bed

How is it that people dislike anything that Mark does??? He is absolutely awesome and very kind!

[@snowpeasophiesprout698]

you can also store the turmeric by drying it in the sun, and then storing it in a bucket of sand. awesome video, you're an absolute legend :)

[@adibasiddiqui4387]

till when we must dry it ?!

[@farzana3767]

Don't dry it in direct sun it will lose its important chemical constituents

[@nhilistickomrad4259]

No. You boil it, then sun dry. That's how we do in Asia (india and other countries)

[@steveandrews8301]

Can you also just (lightly) boil it and eat it as as side dish (the roots) similar to how we boil and eat cooked carrots here in the USA? Thanks. @@nhilistickomrad4259

[@Squirrlys]

I think what I love best about your videos is you constantly plant companion plants together. Or just have herbs with your tomatoes and using small spaces to grow multiple types. Whereas many other garden videos do huge long rows of the same veggie. Just makes more sense making things a bit more loose and companion like.

I have found storing it in the fridge it will eventually dry out. So my Dad used to get a bucket of sand from the beach. Wash it and let it dry completely. I now use this method to store all my Ginger, Garlic and Tumeric. It stays as fresh as the day you picked it. :)

[@edwardbenton8323]

I keep looking for a crock in the yard lol !! I use course sand and till it into my clay soil along with a mulch from our local saw mill in early spring. Makes a huge difference, also I have peach trees on the West side of the garden to keep the plants from baking all day in the sun. My railroad ties stacked around the garden helps keep out pest, knocks down the wind, and keeps the sun out on the West side. I bury my left over veggies about a foot down, this really brings on the red worms. Which enriches the soil. Often I use cut firewood logs along the south side of my garden rows to keep the sun from overheating and drying out the soil. Happy gardening and lets grow.

One thing that I'v found from farming is adding charcoal to the garden bed. One square inch of biochar has a surface area equivalent to that of a football field. It is excellent for storage and available nutrition and helps store carbon in the soil. Traditionally garbage was burnt and buried and those areas became more fertile and so became the garden bed areas. A combination of biochar and compost can help improve any garden in my opinion.

Nice presentation, kindly inform about preparation of soil

[@PapaDutch]

Excellent presentation as always M8! My interest in Turmeric is of a medicinal nature - and much of its benefit there is argued back and forth depending on who we hear from, but it seems to be a standard agreement amongst those seeking to cure and/or prevent GOUT (the worst nightmare of all Scottish Lairds I expect) that Turmeric Curcumin is right up there with pure unsweetened cherry juice as one of the most effective cures besides gulping down buckets full of plain water to undo any dehydration - which is the main cause of Gout alongside of eating or drinking the wrong things. Regardless what medical professionals might say it has a track record with people who have actually experienced Gout, and as with spices I cannot help but think that the raw, pure root straight out of the garden has got to be a lot better and stronger than anything available at a store. Definitely better and stronger than anything we might find (and pay a ton for) in capsule form from some silly supplement center... ~Cheers!

Am from Southern India and we use the turmeric leaves too. We make rice paste (we add salt, turmeric powder, sometimes a bit of spices if we need it spicy or we add a mixture of coconut and jaggery on top of the rice paste and cover the turmeric leaf) and smear it on the turmeric leaves and close the leaf and then steam them. We eat the rice patties that are steamed (with gravy or coconut chutney) and dispose of the leaves.

Thank you. Going to do this in Portugal next season.

My goal for such crops would be to harvest it only as needed for immediate consumption. Beautiful plants and flowers on those.

WOW, I had no idea what a beautiful plant Turmeric makes! I would even plant that for show. Great tips Mark! Adding it to my list.

Exactly! It looks great planted in bulk as a perennial show plant. Then when it dies back in winter use the stems like you would fallen leaves as compost or mulch etc - it's very handy. Cheers :)

Prepare it to sell at a local farmer's market. Your neighbors will love it!
