3 tips for more larger Root Crop harvests & profit.
#1. Ginger seed needs to be at least 1+ years old and fully cured before using as seed. Young ginger rarely reproduce significantly. Also Plant ginger with 2 to 3 nodes only. Larger sizes will Not give you a bigger harvest. Plant ginger seed in 25+ kilo size jute bags filled with rich loamy soil. If you give them more individual growing space & rich fluffy soil with partial sun your harvests size will explode! Harvest time is only 4-6 months!
#2.Plant Cassava Nodes only, NOT the cutting and you will reduce harvest time to 6 months. Plant in raised mounds of loamy soil. FULL SUN IS REQUIRED.
#3. UBE (purple is most desired) plant in trenches with a trellis system filled with loamy 18"-24" soil, your harvest size will increase substantially. Partial sun.
So much great info. Even for a home gardener. Much more heat and much more humidity than a home gardener could give. The fact that the seeds have to be first drenched then dried for germination is invaluable info. Thanks!
I have been growing ginger and tumeric in pots for several years in Edmonton. I have a tent in the basement with LED grow lights. I buy ginger and tumeric at Superstore and leave it in the plastic produce bag on counter until it starts sprouting and grows tiny roots on the sprouting knob. then I plant in plastic tub with compost and potting soil.
Same! I had bought some ginger root from Superstore a couple years ago and noticed some green nubs so I potted it up and it sits in the window my kitchen sink. I’ve harvested 3 times and each time replant a little piece of it. Definitely going to try some leaves for tea this time ✌🏻oh! And I’m just East if you in Saskatchewan.
@@terrafirma75 I am from a farm just north of Estevan. I've made tea from the leaves and it is good. I also juice the ginger and make tea from that as well.
@@Yotaciv Very nice. Looks similar to my setup, but yours is more tidy :)
Good info. Thank You very much
Mold on ginger and tumeric-
I've had success, not 100% but maybe 50% by cutting off the molded parts and soaking in hydrogen peroxide solution, let dry over a day or two, then try sprouting again.
Sometimes the mold is already through the root, not much you can do, but this technique helps. I've saved so many pieces this way, I always separate them in their own pots so they don't spread disease.
I have been growing Galangal in my Dutch Bucket System for 2+ years now. So easy to grow with little effort (vermiculite makes cleaning so much easier than planting it in the ground). This is an Asian variant used in much of the Thai cooking. Living in Houston, I have an advantage because the climate is very similar to the tropical weather found in Asia. Also grow Lemon Grass and Kaffir Limes.
@tonkatoytruck - I'm a few hours south of you, but would love to talk with you about your system and what you grow here local.
@@NewsViewsAndTruth I love hot peppers, tomatoes, lettuce, boc choy, fresh herbs, and my harder to get asian vegetables and fruit. mhpgardener is the man. His videos on dutch buckets and fertilizer mixing information is top notch and how I got started.
Ginger helps with inflammation and arthritic symptoms. Ginger and Garlic taken every few days is really good for you. I wonder if you put those leaves in the bedding of farm animals it would keep insects away? Lemon grass oil keeps flies away from my compost pile. Just curious?
Interesting concept
Great information! I’ve been growing it a pot in my kitchen for a couple years. I love this idea, never thought to include it in the greenhouse. Definitely including it next spring. Thank you Curtis
I can't wait to harvest our ginger and turmeric. Thanks for sharing
We have grown fresh baby ginger and turmeric in NC for 9 years at WindcrestOrganics.com. When we first started, nobody knew what it was and it was a difficult sell. I kept going because it is such an aromatic and beautiful plant and I loved working with it. This month we sold out a 30' x 100' high tunnel FULL in 2 weeks, direct to consumer. Start slow, learn the plant and develop your market before you jump all in. Babying the plants before they go into the ground, feeding / watering / hilling / harvesting and prepping for market is requires labor and real estate. They are not "pest free" either - but worth adding to the mix.
To combine a couple ideas from your last couple of videos: Could be a good idea let your chickens forage around the ginger plants.
I want chickens, but I DONT want chickens 😆 but I want to want chickens 😆
Great content! I will be adding ginger to my new garden. We are in southern indiana of high temp and high humidity in the summers here so growth should be good. and I watched the other video on ginger. I love the idea of selling it with the greens on it potted up.
we been growing ginger for a few years. best thing to do is to compost in the pathways for ginger in the winter. two about 2 hoop houses of it. compost in the pathways in winter. just keep putting more and more compost come in and turn it from time to time.
Are you in Canada, if so what part? Do you have raised ginger beds with drip irrigation?
Hey how much pounds of ginger do you get per plant?
@@JonathanSeagullUtube unheated in northen cali. we grow all season long though. IT gets cold snaps not as nutty as canda but you'd be shocked how hot compost piles get in winrow paths.
@@ricko2301 nothing nuts. half in the ground and half in bags. the bags yield more 1 pound in the ground. 2 pounds in the bag winrows.
I just joined your membership to "From the Field". Worth it for the forum of high level, like minded, industry people.
H202 would DEFINITELY oxidize and eliminate mold on ginger seed rhizomes...
Thank you. I appreciate it
Absolutely worth the value, when you compare it with supermarket ginger, ok that one is bigger, but what use is "big" when it is dry as hell and there's no flavor anymore? Organic wins every time... Same thing with garlic, supermarket garlic these days don't even leave that juice in your finger when slicing it, fucking useless... Hell, onions from the supermarket don't make the eyes water anymore...
I came from India, we use lots of ginger in our cooking. I saw in Indian farmers buy seed ginger for planting, seed ginger is more mature ginger. It’s more then one year old before harvest. If the ginger is younger or less then a year old it may not germinate quickly, it’s good for cooking but not for planting.
Just another case of ginger on ginger crime. Looks good.
I think retail ginger is 2 years old, but this stuff would be what is called "baby" ginger and does not store well, so I think the real trick is to get it to market and sold in a fairly short 3 or 4 week window. Happy to be corrected by anyone actually doing this for profit.
Here in the Philippines we grow Ginger in the field for 8-12 Months .
I have grown ginger in tubs the last three years. This year I got a bumper crop....3 tubs! In N tex
Did you guys seen a significant difference beetween germinated ginger in pots or trays?
I usually germinated it in trays so much faster
So im wondering for this season
Thanks✌🏼✊🏼🙏🏼
Like the guy said, it's these videos that show others what can be done, and how. May the Lord shine His light on you Curtis.
nice t shirt bout the news :)
its a mark dice shirt. look him up on youtube
Thanks again Curtis
Do you use any specific variety for your climate. Or it's a common ginger, also known as Indian or Chinese ginger?
pickled ginger shoots are also nice...
thats a very nice ginger farm
Liked this a lot
Ginger like open air in the sunshine..
am curious if turmeric would grow the same way & if you would get a higher price for it???
The grow similar. Need very humid tropical plants. We are growing both in 20 gal fabric containers in north Texas
goofy roofy I have spoken with some local Indian immigrants, and they these plants like it hot, hot ,hot .

Check out Pig and Leaf in Summertown, Tennessee. Set up as a rock in’ permaculture farm with a market garden between agroforestry systems. They also run pigs through the woods.
LFMAO 3:55 had to rewind that cause i missed you introducing the new guy and i zoned out came back and thought that was you doing a french accent for shits and giggles lol
we just planted our ginger intercropped between two rows of tomatoes in the walkway. Curtis do you where do you get the plastic bag with holes? 🌿
what spacing do you use between plants?
Hey Curtis, question about on the field. I’m not really a farmer. I’m starting to dabble in All different hydroponics and microgreens and this year I might have a raised bed. I like your videos, but I’m not sure if this new channel is really for me. Will there be content for the little guys? Thanks! Tom
@@wolfbirdhomestead600 I totally understand that. I have watched a TON of his videos. I just want to make sure there's something for me. Little to point in subscribing if the content is aimed directly towards people who are growing on .25 acre or more when I'm just trying to get a single rack off the ground. Know what mean?
Curtis, who was the first farmer you two mentioned as interplanting ginger? John Hertz? at 10:50
Normally takes 8-10months from seed to harvest ???
Yes
How can I 🥫 get those Seed. I need to import the high yielding variety
Maybe you could make the ginger leaf tea and sell it on the net?
Or maybe sell the ginger over the net. With its special qualities many would like it.
Here in the SF Bay Area it is only selling for $8 per pound
Supply and demand
Most Indian or Asian stores have them for about $4/lb.
I have been tinkering last two years in central Texas. Where can I get good seed start?
I can supply Cocopeat/Growbags for farming.Contact me on whatsapp 0094713015386
Hi Curtis, I mostly farm organic specialty fruits but this year we're going to try ginger. Do you think I'm still in time for this year? Or do you have to start them indoors earlier? I hope you can help me out👍Greetings from the Netherlands
I’m in USDA Zone 6. Do I need to wait next spring to start ginger?
That’s a big price, we pay 3€ a kilo in supermarkets in France.
ditto for uk
Great bro
what variety is being grown please? thanks you! and what makes this ginger different than the paper barked type ginger I find in the regular grocery store?
Nutrients????
Does ozone treatment work to eliminate the mould on ginger seed? Ozone generators are quite cheap.
40 CAD/kg...!?
You can buy it here for 2 USD/kg. Sure it is either Brazilian or Chinese but there is no big market for organic that you might sell for 4 to 6 USD/kg.
Organic ginger in Australia is also over 30 AUD per kilo FYI
Is there a market for Indian ginger if its organic ??
So amazing but maybe a harder sell where I am from. Is it all harvested at once or just for orders for the week? Does it store well for a while as "fresh ginger"?
Hey, please help me understand. If you're growing the crop for its roots, why go heavy with chicken manure (nitrogen)? Won't heavy nitrogen promote leaf growth rather than root?
Maybe ginger loves nitrogen rich soil
What kind of ginger is it ??
Where can I source rootstock in Canada? I'm in New Brunswick....no big organic chain stores out here...
Holy shit he looks like you. For a second I was wondering why you were speaking in that accent!
That price sound good I think I really wanted to do some business with you please make a link with me an we can do some business
Aged chicken manure?
Texas worm farm
Who are best seed suppliers?
How u do the fertelizacion every month when they are big like that??
Who is buying ginger root for $ 40.00 per kilo ? Walmart retails non organic for $3.58/lb. organic for $3.96/8oz. Whole foods retails organic for $5.99/lb. Did the ginger market take a dive that much in 4 years ?
People who don't shop at Walmart.
Ginger can surprisingly be expensive!!
I don't know why 40 $ kilogram. 🤔maximum I pay $5 a kilo more all over Europe
We're not in Europe.
Where can you buy seed ginger?
Organic food store you trust .
Whole food store. Just like turmeric
In another video he said you should buy it from Urban Harvest. It's different than the ginger sold in food stores, even different than organic food stores.
$40 per kilo is highway robbery. I guess good for you. I live in Central America. I pay between 2 or 3 dollars a kilo- retail.
We dont live on the same wages as you guys in south America ;)
its also not as easily grown in Quebec as it is down there. need heated greenhouses up here.
#ILoveyourchannel #Iloveyourvideos
I love the fake news t-shirt.
Today rate in Pakistan is 4 $ per kg
I am a farmer's for 10 years planting ginger but due to the disease that infects my ginger plant I stop because the last year all my ginger are attact with this wilt and rhizome disease could you give me some agri chemicals to control this disease so that I will go back again to farming
And could you give me also your book kit and some instructions I will pay if how much thank you
