Can you do the same thing with Turmeric?
That was good. I usually drink ginger tea made out of fresh ginger. It sits well on your stomach. I really don't know how to cook with it though.
Tele Opinions I only use fresh ginger in the kitchen. Use it in soup, cut a piece maybe just about half an inch, then pound it slightly to break it, drop in the water to boil. Good especially with fish and chicken to remove that smell. You don’t have to eat it. 😊
Thanks! I was wondering about light requirements. I have one leaf coming open so about ready to move outdoors. Frost danger is past.
I'm glad I read your life before bothering to listen to the whole video. It takes a human environment and southern California will never do.
This is the video that inspired me to start gardening... my first ginger plant was in a 1/2 liter tupperware with no holes and clay soil. I planted it in January (cold, but I'm from the tropics, so 12-15C cold). I overwatered it coz I had no idea what an inch of water meant, and it obviously died. From then till now I've grown water spinach, malabar spinach, ginger, cucumber, okra, garlic and onion leaves, lemongrass, sweet potato, spring onion, culantro, ixora (regular and dwarf), cape jasmine, lantana, crape jasmine, mustard, cilantro, and flat beans, all in about six feet of my backyard. I had Covid in April, and I also found gardening a way to relax and take my mind off things. So thanks a bunch for inspiring me to take up gardening. :D
Thank you for shaing.
Sabitboss that is completely cool. You go!!👍👏
once you start gardening, there's no going back 😁🌻
Hope that’s not Lantana camara (unless sterile), that’s a significant noxious weed in parts of the world including the tropics terrible effects by easily naturalising in bushland, forests etc, seed spread by bird.
@@Doubledunk lantana camara is everywhere here and unfortunately people intentionally plant it
My ginger plant is growing great! One thing I discovered, however, is that the ginger root that you buy at a grocery store is sprayed with something that prevents it from sprouting! So I bought my initial root to plant at a natural foods market where I was certain it was organic and free of any kind of spray. It was the first time I was able to successfully grow a beautiful plant! Thanks for the great video!
Can the spray be removed? Maybe that's why my ginger won't sprout.
@@skyspring7704 I don't know but I would assume that it penetrates into the ginger somewhat to prevent the sprouting. I don't think I would bother even trying anything but an organic piece of ginger root since I had no luck before with anything I purchased at the store. The organic piece I bought at the nature's market sprouted right away and is doing beautifully so I would always stick with that!
Interesting! Thank you for this information!
@@SunniDae333 Good luck!
Thanks for the info 👍🏼😊.
Notes
- Ginger exported from Asia.
-We harvest the rhizome, which is the underground stem. We harvest the main stem of the plant.
- If buying ginger at the grocery store look for eyes. The larger the rhizome chunk the faster you’ll get your ginger. New growth comes from those “eyes”
larger chunks create more sprouts, because there are enough areas for the shoots to come out. The more shoots creates more shoot development up top and more root grow down below, which means more photosynthesis which is more energy and more growth and getting ginger faster.
- Ginger stalks grow horizontally in one direction. A wide shallow pot is better than narrow deep pot for growing ginger.
- Use high quality soil that’s loose rich and organic.
- You can prèspout ginger in bowl of water or plant ginger straight in and add water.
- Ginger is not like standard root crop like potato (would plant deep) simply add ginger and cover 1/2 inch over soli
- Add ginger and water it in.
- - To understand where to place ginger where did it come from?
- Came from Southeast Asia - tropical, rainfall, moist, heat, humidity.
- Start in Spring, or indoors if not good weather.
Problems
- Brown tips - soil is not moist enough,
Yellow - lack of nutrients, add fertilizer
Soggy and Rotting - too much water
Flowers - Normal, edible also
Harvesting
- If in dry are- add mulch to hold in moisture
- first harvest 4-5 months
- before frost harvest all of it.
@@jennymacaluso4062 Copy, paste?
But what potting mix/soil should I use
Thank you for your time and detailed explanation!
@ 0:48 is most probably turmeric and not ginger.
I've been using a technique for a while now where you let the eyes of the ginger sprouts,cut them off and plant directly into the soil. That way,you don't have to put an entire ginger in the soil and also,you will get a new ginger out of one sprout. It's very effective. Hope it helps.
does it make the "roots" smaller? from the videos i have seen, the rhizomes made that way seem smaller.
what technique do you use to get it to sprout? I am not having luck getting eyes to sprout.
@@Auguur mine been there in my counter for about 3 to 4 weeks and it has a bunch of eye buds.
@@Auguur what are you currently doing? How are you trying to grow it?
What’s your progress like? Does it take a similar amount of time to propagate as in the video?
Grating ginger - I've always fought the strings and the loss of juice, when trying to grate it. I've since started keeping ginger in the freezer. It grates super fine and there's no loss of juice and NO strings. Perfect for making Chai tea, in soups or anywhere you'd use grated ginger.
Do you peel them or do you use the peel as well? How would you store the ginger in the freezer?
@@tah-lia when you're grating always peel.
@@tah-lia yeah you peel it and then freeze it in a bag. Works really well when you grate it this way.
this is what i do too 👍 ... just put it unpeeled in the freezer wrapped in a bag
@@tah-lia I peel the ginger and freeze the peel and use the peel in making my Chai Tea
I would have liked to see a clip of you actually going through the procedure of harvesting as well.
I'm_OK
Yeah, this. Please show exactly how to harvest and keep it growing.
Thanks for the video.
Same
I think he described it really well. Just do it and learn from your mistakes.
If you even make any. It would be really hard to fuck this up.
I guess you just dig down and cut off a piece when you want to
agreed, yes please!!
Don't dry your ginger! Keep it frozen and grate straight from the freezer when you want to use it. This allows you to keep the full flavour without sacraficing convenience.
That's what I do too!
important to note, dried ginger does have a different, spicier flavor. if thats what you want, then do that
Thanks for sharing this! I got a huge pack of ginger at Sam's club. Will it still grow after being frozen? I'd love to plant some!
I feel comfortable telling you that after the ginger root has been frozen, it won't grow.
@@kayleebilger
💯 that's what I do. I have 4 year old ginger that I grew. It's perfect. The smell is strong still and taste is the same. I just scrape/cut off what I need and put it back in the freezer.
Out of all the videos I have watched about ginger you have totally explained everything all around and very well. Thank you so very much.
I love how there's now just a whole bunch of people doing primeval things like growing ginger or baking sourdough bread because of quarantine. We get so carried away by our jobs and modern lives that we forget what our ancestors enjoyed doing.
Isn't it fortunate that some of us grew up with an awareness of the importance of those skills - long before a global crisis woke ppl up? Otherwise there would be no-one here to teach you.
In some ways, this shelter in place is a gift.
Check out how to make sauerkraut. It's unbelievably easy and you need nothing more than a head of cabbage and a large mason jar or two!
100% back to our roots...
I'll get my coat.
Timurv1234 YES!!! You are so right! I’m growing garlic and onions and I planted dill and chives at home
Ginger is a good weapon. It heals my gut, wakes me up, helps with infections. I chew pure ginger every day.
So is an AR15.
I tried growing ginger when I lived in Florida.. it always rotted. I had a bunch of ginger rhizomes in a bowl on my counter last summer (not in Florida) and really wasn't using it much for what ever reason so it was neglected let's say. I start seeing all these sprouts! I'm excited trying to figure out how to plant them and grow them... finally! There was no water in that bowl they were in on my counter btw. So I planted the sprouting rhizomes...I water very little and they are growing beautifully. All by 'accident'... can't wait for the harvest.
Accidents can be great when gardening :)
If it weren't for the accidents, I wouldn't have any gardening success.
Kevin, I am so thankful for your videos! I’m super excited that I am actually growing my own food, learning from you and getting inspired every time I watch you. 😊
What a smashing guide to gardening ginger. I don’t think you’ve missed a thing. I’m passing this on to all of my friends as ginger is massively popular now and your explanation is perfect for non gardeners and gardeners. I did not know you could eat the flowers or the leaves, I did not know how to powder it or store it. You have opened up a whole new adventure.Thank you very much!
Remember size of rhizome you plant correlates to speed and size of harvest! Lemme know what container garden guide I should drop next! ⤵️⤵️⤵️
Try growing cantaloupe in a container or dragon fruit
just me Yes you can freeze it... I’ve had ginger in my fridge for about a week and I boil them into tea and try to drink it everyday... My husband works in a grocery store so I have him drink my homemade honey lemon ginger tea every day to help boost his immune system...😍 I will try planting some ginger this spring and hopefully I can harvest them by winter!❤️
@just me we are on our way to the airport now and I have to go to the store and get some rest and feel better soon and that is the only way I can get a doe and I can get it to you by the end of the day I have to go to the 4wwwrttq
just me I freeze it and use it often to make a strong tea. If if get sick, I’ll drink this all day long! Find it in stores while you still can

Size does count...sorry had to! 😁
Good info and practical.🌱
I used to have 2 different ginger plants in my back yard. The smell was intoxicating and the flowers were stunning. They spread fairly quickly and filled up shady corners
I have a shampoo ginger and culinary ginger both sending up beautiful green shoots! I’m so excited right now 😉
My daughter has a bunch of organic ginger in the fridge. I’m going to use it to grow now! Great tips! You’re the best gardener page out there. Love the reaction video too. Do more of those. 🤜🏻🤛🏻🛡⚔️💪🏼🙏🏻
A tip when grinding... when you’re done, turn the grinder upside down and hit the grind button again. You get most all of whatever you’re grinding in the lid/cup and it’s much easier to transfer. 😊
Was looking for this, so that I didn't have to say it myself lol... There was no way I was the only one thinking of it! Hahaha
great tip, thanks.\
I'll try it with coffee. Thank you.
No shit! I never thought of that! (Seriously, I'm not being sarcastic.) Thanks! No telling how much I've wasted not even thinking about that.
What grinder do you recommend?
About 4 years ago, I had some ginger left and put it in a pot. Just wanted to see if I could grow it. It was a pretty big pot. Last year, it "blew" up the post. It grew really nicely, but I never broke up the pieces. Doing that tomorrow. I can't believe I got so much from the little piece I planted.
I want to thank you I'm growing 5 pots of ginger because of you. There are so many medicinal uses for it. Once again thank you.
Plain, simple English. Not too fast and not too slow. Very good!
Ginger is a tropical and sub-tropical plant that is usually sheltered by trees above so it is important to grow it in the shade. Protect it from the harsh sun if grown in part shade. This will help keep the soil moist too.
I live in the tropical country that's for the tip
This clip was very informative and useful. I appreciate the time you have put into creating an educational quick overview of ginger.
It was my first pick and a great clip on the delivery.
Thank you! While I'm not sure if I actually start to grow anything right now, it's still great stuff to watch, this content of yours. I have growing experience, so it's interesting to hear what I could had done better in general, like that sprouting in water isn't really different from sprouting in soil. Thanks a ton!
I have so many new vegetables I’m trying out cultivating, all thanks to staying home😂🥰 I’ve never been happier
I am with you - this has been such a mixed blessing to finally have time to become a magical gardener...right?
Thanks. I'm trapped in an apartment & placed some ginger in a pot several weeks ago. Now it's a big beautiful plant. So, I'm looking forward to harvest.
Kevin your Awesome.
I Live in BC Canada.
I built a 365day greenhouse
And I just planted some ginger
I’m excited
You inspire me.
Easy simple guide / tips for fresh organic ginger, yayyyy🤩I appreciate you Epic Gardening, you are Epic💎🌪🔥🤜🤛
This is the most informative vlog I have come across regarding Ginger! thank you so much, I love the part where you actually show the type of ginger we should be getting in order to plant! great vlog keep it up!
My Asian aunt chews raw ginger like candy! But it's probably what helped her to still be so strong at 72 and 20 years younger looking!👍👍
Yeah...its good stuff😊👍
Supposed to keep arthritis at bay.
@@junehitchcock170 chicken gelatine and fish head stock in a pressure cooker is excellent for joint issues and inflamatory...lest we not forget kefir (home made)
Honestly it was probably not giving AF about western medicine and just enjoying her best life.
@@joeallen2286 i hope so
Beautifully dove. Thank you for taking the time to make this vid and upload it. Can't wait to grow.
You are my number one go to garden youtuber,, I love when you do videos on what different things you can do with different crops! thanks!
because everyone in the world now is encouraged to stay at home, i might try this with my current stock. thanks for sharing! 😀
You're welcome Rosey!
Doing this too soon.
same. a project for today.
What if I don't have a dehydrate machine, can I use the conventional oven to kind of dry it there? And thanks for the info, very helpful!! God bless.

Just wanted to share what I use for a budget/free wide-pot: 2.5 gallon water jugs. Cut off one side and poke some holes on the other for drainage, and you have a perfect container for ginger, lettuce, small radish and other shallow-rooted plants 🌿 👍
I do the same thing! I have 8 halves filled with all kinds of herbs and green onions. This is a great use for those containers.
Thanks!
omg great tip!
Gallon? Isn't that what Americans used to use? No one in the world will know what you mean, but at least you tried. As bad as "one inch of water". Sure comes to light just how backward these yankyboys still are. Shucks, we never knew that! Ha ha ha.
@@kennethkeen1234 used to use? We still use them. Lol. We are backwards on almost everything in America.
Wow... complete guide to ginger. I never would have thought of drying it and making my own powder. TYSM!!!!
I can't wait to listen. I've been using root ginger in a tea for a few years now, adding fresh squeezed orange and strawberry juice and honey for taste. I am not able to drink regular tea because it effects my medication, but ginger has been my go to to compensate this disappointment.
Do a vid on turmeric root, please! I dropped one in my potting soil bag and it sprouted. I've see a picture of a mature plant and its got a gorgeous flower!
I just subscribed so I haven't gone through many videos yet, but hopefully he did or will soon.
Turmeric is just like ginger- both are almost a weed in the tropics. Do exactly the same.
I’d love to see something on turmeric and what he uses it for powdered, extracts or just keeps the rhizomes.
Watched a few videos thanks to my insomnia and I have to admit, I’m impressed! This is the first time I’ve looked for several different things that led me back to the answers I needed in one place! I’m happy to follow and the great smile of your knowledgeable & well-spoken frontman doesn’t hurt either! 😉
Hello Suzanne
I'm growing ginger at the moment & I really appreciate how you showed us how to turn ginger into ginger powder - can't wait to give it a go!
I came back to this video 1 year later to say thanks! I threw some ginger into my box and figured I at least thought the plant itself looked nice, if I didn't get a good harvest in the end, oh well..
Well I did get a good harvest, and it was no maintenance the whole time. Definitely one I'm adding to my yearly grow list. So thanks!
Kevin, newcomer to your channel here. I enjoy your channel's style, no BS, right to the topic. Your speech is pleasant, articulate and your manner is quite personable. The filming is well framed and focused, and the editing is helpful. So, on the tech side, a very well-produced channel, and enjoyable to watch.
I'm a recently retired Science teacher and I live in Khon Kaen, Thailand, so I'm glad I chose today to check out your channel since you featured the Thai variety of ginger. After seeing this, I'm going to talk to my wife (who runs the gardening department at our house) about growing some ginger. She has lots of pots outside with onions and green herbs, (and flowers ) and we have a garden across the road with about a half-dozen banana plants, some coconut palms, a chili shrub or two, and in the yard is a huge mango tree, several linchi and several tamarind trees, so some ginger is needed to round out the collection. lol As my man Ahh-nold says, "Owl be back..."
That's so cool I cant grow plants anymore inside or out my husband always manages to throw it away cuz he thinks it's dead I've had perennials that come back n they did but then sometime he sees it died off so he pulls the roots n well it disappears 😫 but funny thing is I get random red tulips in the yard we had a man mowing r yard he gos around the tulips 😁 oh well
Oh wow!! I am a ginger addict! I haven't even watched the full video yet I'm already excited!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful posting and I am going to plant it in Summer. Thanks
I grow onions and garlic indoors as well as houseplants. I also sprout a lot. Now I'm going to plant ginger. I think it is an excellent idea. Thank you for very informative video.
I've tried and failed to grow ginger a number of times, and now I know what i was doing wrong. I was going to just give up the idea entirely, but I think I'm going to give it another go now. Thank you! Really helpful video.
Please share what you were doing wrong
Thanks. love the turning ginger into powder part.
cherish the flowers when they come. a true blessing.
I started growing my own ginger a few years ago. I love doing it, the scent is fantastic. Mine was trial and error. I cut the eyes off and started them in *warm* water in my kitchen window.
I have one that has overwintered for three winters so far, and sent up shoots in the spring. I do let the shoots die off, and water once a week over the winter-- always with warm water. The ginger I have gotten from it has been wonderful!
When you cut the eyes off how many did you plant per container?
I can't find any fresh ginger at the stores and planting a whole hand to get a hand is not something I want to do. Any tips
@@bigbadbamboo1 Where I live there are lots of Amish discount stores, and they almost always have some of the best fresh herbs and produce. if not, farmers markets are always a good place to look. I live in Iowa, but where you live may be harder to find such places. I know this wasnt directly answering your question, but i thought id chime in and give that little tip
@@bigbadbamboo1 look for fresh ginger in Caribbean markets, Chinese markets, African markets in all major cities
WOW 😊🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥❗
@@bigbadbamboo1 Usually Walmart has it in, if you have one close to you. I just cut off a couple of eyes with about an inch of ginger for "fuel". I keep it in a south-facing window, keep watered (with warm water) every day.
The thing is, you have to be patient. Depending on when you try to start the eyes, you may wait a month or so for the green shoots to appear.
Thank you, I watched your how to ...and here I have some growing right now.
I bought a container of ginger and turmeric to make teas for my vacc1ne injuries. (I make kind of like a chai tea with whole cloves, slices of ginger, cinnamon sticks, nutmeg and cardamom.) Lo and behold, while they were still in the container two started to sprout! Inside without water! And here I am! I think when I was In the South (North Carolina) I had a ginger plant and the flowers smelt like Easter Lillies. I am back in the North and it's heading towards winter, so they are staying inside. Who am I to say these little ginger babies can't have a life in the North?!❤
You enabled me finally! I snatched my gf's ginger and planted on a shallowish (around 18 cm deep, 20 cm wide) empty date container. It'll be a surprise to her if it grows well. She is slanted eyed beauty and likes ginger a lot. I will share the result in 3 months. Thanks. I became member now. Regards from Canada.
Watched this a whole ago, bought ginger, couldn't remember where I watched it, watched the tiktok, came back, watched the UA-cam. Ginger has bee planted!
Has it sprouted yet???
Thank you so much for this! You are an amazing teacher-so easy to follow, clear and concise. Can't wait to try it :-)
Good to come across this video three years later, but it is worth it! 😊 I love ginger 🫚 in almost everything, even in curried chicken. Crystallized Ginger is super delicious!
I’m really glad I came across your channel. I found a ginger root from the grocery and the shoots are green. I set it in shallow water and went here to find out what to next.
It’s so expensive I just have to try as I love ginger every which way.
Much thankss
Thanks for the tips Kevin! I tried growing Ginger for the first time last year but ended up drowning the plants. I ended cutting the ginger from the store into individual squares with one eye in each segment... that is what another UA-cam video said to do. I like your method better, I am definitely going to try it ASAP 😊. I am a big Ginger fan 😊
I really like the extra "how to make ginger powder" segment . I live near Chicago where we have a snowy winter, so, in addition to learning how to grow garden food, learning how to preserve it is important and helpful . Also , any tips for garden plants that can be "wintered" indoors until next spring and how to do it also helpful . Your presentations are easy to understand and we'll done! Thank you .
I really appreciate this video. Easy, straightforward directions and tips for making the powder. I always keep a chunk of ginger in the freezer and just grate it using a micro planer for quickly adding to my stir fry and sauces. Thanks so much!!
Thank you so much. I’m going to try to grow ginger and I’ll keep you posted.
I love your tutorials Kevin! This year we are doing raised bed gardening. I find that we can grow so much more with the space we have.
You have given me a lot of great ideas, and I certainly appreciate it! Thank you!
dude your videos leave nothing to be imagined, no question or potential unaddressed. brilliant work
Except for harvesting the rhizome and what it looks like pulling the plant out of the pot: we don't get to see what that looks like our how he prefers to cut stems and clean the rhizome. Also, whether or not to expect grocery ginger to be sprayed with chemicals and what to do about it... whether all grocery ginger can be guaranteed to be the same variety or which differences we might expect to find (maybe at Asian markets). Any suggestions on potentially more forgiving, cold-hardy, or dwarf varieties. A quick word or caution about what to expect if someone lets it loose in their yard rather than a pot might have been useful...
yeah he didnt harvest it and show us, so sad cause that was why I clicked the video.
@@calciumchloride710 It's so sad that your ears don't function (or need to be cleaned out) and that you've lost the ability for critical thinking.
1) He very plainly showed the "eyes" you look for in the grocery store on the ginger you buy. If there are "eyes", you can use them to grow. Take a field trip to the produce section of your favorite grocery store. If the ginger is nice and plump...and not shriveled...you will likely find "eyes". BTW...this goes for turmeric, too.
2) He very plainly said that ginger is a TROPICAL PLANT. If you live in Zone 1-8 in the USA, you aren't even considered "sub-tropical". The ONLY places you m-i-g-h-t be able to plant this in the ground in the USA and not dig it up for winter storage--again, he SAID the part about winter storage very clearly--is in far south Texas and Florida...and possibly some parts of Arizona and San Diego area...zones 9-10.
I live in Zone 8b, and while I planted both ginger and turmeric outside in April, I fully know I will need to bring them in at Thanksgiving.
3) He was planting his ginger in a pot...which would be the same for ANY tropical houseplant...you can put them outdoors in the summer but they MUST come inside during the winter.
Thank you I will be adding this to my planting this year.
Great inspiration! Makes me want to start growing ginger tomorrow. Thank you so much for excellent ginger ideas!
What a great video! Thank you. I LOVE the perfume of ginger flowers. I used to buy them all the time in season when I lived in Hong Kong. Wake up in the morning to my entire apartment smelling heavenly.
I LOVE this! Ginger is so good for you, so easy to consume, and so delicious. I’ve been meaning to research this & here it is right in front of my face. Thank you for delivering the information in a digestible way :)
Love this video. Thorough and loaded with tips. Thank you
You inspire me every time! I'm itching to get going on spring plants...This is now on my list for sure!
Thank you for your video. It was clear and informative. And I really appreciate the instructions for drying and grinding. I've been meaning to try my hand at making my own ginger powder and I feel confident that I can now, after watching you make it. Just a note: If you want to use supermarket ginger for growing purposes, it might be better to get organic ginger. That way it's free from pesticides or any unwanted chemicals.
I'm so into gardening right now! 🌱💚
Glad to hear it, me too. Try Dry Composting, Ive made a video about it. Not looking for views, I am looking to let people know about this =)
Same!!!
Great tip about the pot, I will know this for next time
I LOVE your "More Vegetables" shirt!! Thank you for this epic video. I am excited to grow our own amazing food!
Grew ginger on a whim at the beginning of the pandemic and fell in love with it. Just had my second harvest which will last me the whole year!
Wow!
How do you store ginger, that it lasts a year?
@@eugene3801 It lasts forever in the freezer.
@@ChrisB... Thank you. Bless you.
This is awesome! I planted my ginger the same way but in a 55 gal barrel cut sideways and turned into a planter. It's growing nicely! Thanks for your video.
thanks eric for all the good tips! I love your channel.
Thanks for the video Eric!🎉😊❤
Thank you soooo much for making a concise, thorough, intelligent tutorial!!!!! Like a breath of fresh air. Great work!

he's most definitely not hard on the eyes either!
Thank you for putting the time into this edifying and salubrious video!
Extremely good ginger documentary, thank you very much.
just found a sad forgotten piece of ginger in the kitchen, it's a little shriveled but there's a few really healthy eyes on it! I'm gonna try planting it for fun
themarmalade Report back what happens!
Same I got months ginger & turmeric sprouting but I don't know what soil to put it in🌱🙏🏾😁
How’d it go
@@cookielove8174 Rich organic potting soil but not clumped. I throw a cup of sand and mix it before planting in pot. Now I grown in ground but still mix some sand. Terra cota is best if in temperate climate it will absorb heat from sun.
@@cookielove8174 Just regular potting soil!
Thank for incisive , meaningful analysis and tips for growing ginger from the rhizome. I live in Portugal so summers are hot but dry so I will deliver a human made monsoon season to my plants!
This was a great video! Thanks for sharing!
Ty 4 the video! some years ago i had a piece of kitchen scrap leftover from cooking Japanese style Curry. I planted it and it grew. Since then i have my own ginger at home :D
Ginger is one of my staple buys- I buy it every other week at the grocery store. Can't wait to try growing my own!
I saw wild ginger growing in a botanical garden and the smell was amaaazing. The plant also looks pretty good as a houseplant so I might give this a go :)
I love this video! Thank you for sharing; this is very thorough about ginger and about everything you cover!
We started growing our own ginger from store-bought, and got it sprouting! thank you for the tips
Love it! I will do everything you did except stick my finger into the plugged-in spice grinder.
LOVE your common sense. Had no idea you could eat the leaves and flowers.
Use ginger flowers in a fish curry. Ginger leaves and turmeric leaves finely chopped and add to cold rice to make a Asian herby rice salad.
Thanks for sharing the wonderful information about ginger
Brilliant post, easy and versatile. Many thanks.
You didn't actually show the harvesting. I wanted to see how the single root you planted multiples into new plants
Step 1 : buy 1 ginger
Step 2 : plant for several months
Step 3 : harvest 1 slightly bigger ginger for it wont get any noticeable size change in that tiny pot
not worth it unless you planting a whole garden, just buy.
@@SKaede gardening is always worth it for the enjoyment and convenience no matter what plant but that's just my opinion.
The cost of the of ginger now. And somequalitu is pretty sad quality and flavor. The healing properties for high stressed living is what need. I had work so long I did not know that my BP at be within a certain range to be seen. A unexpected surprise.
@@SKaede IKR? But even if you planted a whole garden, how much more ginger would you harvest than what you started with? It's not like potatoes where you basically plant the eyes and get whole potatoes. If you could just plant those nobs, well, that's one thing, but planting the whole piece? I plant basil in my apartment and it grows like wildfire! That's definitely worth it.

No need to plant the entire piece, the shoots are enough.
This is the best video I've seen! You've answered all my questions and taught me how to have more ginger in my life. I love ginger 🫚 😍
I am growing a ginger plant myself for two years or so indoors. When I need ginger to cook I just go into the soil with my knife and cut off what I need and let the plant regrow. Now after 2 years the ginger wasn't soo good anymore and this time I renewed the soil and tried planting a few smaller roots next to each other to see if this works out too. I also use a watering bird, it has a foot out of clay and an opening where I put all the water in and the plant takes what it needs without getting soggy. Works fine for me.
Lovely work❗️👏🏼Thank you so much. I’m excited to grow ginger 🫚 🧡
I love ginger. I saw mine started budding and thought, let’s plant this which lead to your video. Thx a lot. By the way, love that cutting board too😊
My mom sent me this, so glad I watched. I have three growing in the 8” black plastic pots from HomeDepot. I’m going to run up right now and grab some of those long horizontal containers and transplant them today. I had no idea they grew horizontally like the lotus roots. Very helpful. Thank you!
Great tips, never really even thought of trying to grow ginger! Gonna try it here in the So Cal desert.
Thanks bro for your knowledge and experience 😊
This is video inspired me to start gardening. First ginger plant
