    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.

    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
      @RobsAquaponics  4 роки тому +23

      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. 😉

      "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.

    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

In Costa Rica, we let it grow for 2 years. then it took 2 seasoned men 50 minutes to dig out 1.5 mtr x 1 meter section to pull out about 40-50 kilogram of ginger. it was insane. (permaculture style)

The store I buy my produce at has excellent organic goodies, but turmeric is quite expensive. For the same weight of ginger to turmeric I'm paying about $15 more for the turmeric. It's madness. Lol. So now I am absolutely going to try and grow both. I use quite a bit of both everyday in a blended drinkn I make. Thanks again!

    GOOD EVENING ROB,
    I REALLY LOVED YOUR VIDEO. YOU EXPLAINED PLANTING GINGER QUITE WELL THAT EVEN A BEGINNER CAN UNDERSTAND. I HAD BOUGHT A PIECE OF GINGER IN THE SPRING AND I HAD PLANNED TO MAKE SOME STIR FRIES AND I ALSO WANTED TO MAKE SOME TEAS WITH IT. UNFORTUNATELY, IT HAD GOTTEN PUSHED TO THE BACK OF MY COUNTER. WHEN I FOUND IT I NOTICED IT HAD GROWN LITTLE GREEN NUBS ON IT. SO I WASN'T SURE IF IT WOULD GROW, I FILLED A TALL POT WITH POTTING SOIL, I BROKE IT IN FOUR CHUNKY PIECES AND LET THE GINGER SIT OVER NIGHT TO DRY. THE NEXT EVENING I PLANTED THEM ON THE OUTTER SIDE OF THE POT AND ONE IN THE CENTER. STILL THINKING THAT THEY WOULDN'T GROW, BUT I LEFT THE POT UNDER A GROW LAMP.
    I OFTEN FORGET TO WATER THEM, BUT WE WERE GOING OUT ONE AFTERNOON, AND THERE THEY WERE FOUR TALL GREEN STALKS! I WAS SO THRILLED! NOW I'M NOT SURE IF I SHOULD TRANSPLANT THEM TO A LARGER POT (SEEING HOW LARGE YOUR GINGER HAD GROWN! I NEVER GREW IT BEFORE SO THIS IS MY FIRST TIME) I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA SO PLANTING OUTSIDE IS NOT AN OPTION. IT'S EITHER TOO HOT OR TOO COLD. WHAT SIZE POT DO YOU RECCOMEND THEY BE PLANTED IN? TO GROW PROPERLY? RIGHT NOW THEY ARE GROWING IN A 15 INCH POT.
    BLESS YOU AND ALL YOUR GARDENS! THANK YOU FOR PASSING ON YOUR KNOWLEDGE. ~ DEBBIE

    • @RobsAquaponics
      @RobsAquaponics  4 роки тому +1

      Hi Debbie. I would move them up into a pot that's 12" or larger. That should give them enough room to spread out a bit. Try not to disturb the roots too much when transplanting as that my slow down their recovery time.
      Hope that helps some & Happy growing.

    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
      @RobsAquaponics  4 роки тому +1

      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.

Took it a full month to pierce the dirt surface, but it did (southern Europe, summer here now). So excited: a known tropical plant growing in my flower pots! Amazing! Thank you! Also, appreciated your on-the-go conversion metric/imperial units. Fot us Europeans it can be a bit distracting. Not in your videos: i can stay 100% focused.

      @RobsAquaponics  4 роки тому +25

      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.

      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. 👍👍

    This has been the best video Ive seen. Some say put in water for a while until shoots sprout but then you have to move again & disturb the roots. So it hot now in France & Im gonna plant a few & see what happens. Found a few bulbs already sprouting so no inhibitor....
