- Ginger Harvest & Quick Ginger Growing Guide
G'Day Folks. Harvested the 2 ginger plants I've been doing a growing trial with over the past 8+ months.
I was seeing if planting a small seed piece would affect the overall yield of the plant & think I got my answer. 😉👍
Have included a bit of a quick ginger growing guide for folks that are looking at growing it for the first time.
You can find a more in depth Ginger Growing Guide that covers cool climate & container growing here ► bit.ly/HowToGr...
You can also find our Turmeric & Ginger Growing & Processing playlist here ► bit.ly/GingerT...
Hope you enjoyed the clip & your gardens are booming.
Cheers all,

I don't get anything for this, just like the shirts 😉 🙂
I grew a piece of ginger in a pot over summer in central Victoria and the stem grew to over a metre tall. I fed it weekly with fresh worm farm leachate and have yet to harvest it, as it is currently growing frost free in the greenhouse. I think harvesting anything bigger than your original piece you planted is a bonus :)
Nice one Jane. Most of this seasons have started to die off here. That cold blast from the south didn't help much. 😉
Hope you get a nice harvest from the plant.
Great pointers Rob. I've got a few smaller rhizomes of ginger growing in containers - first for me. I'm excited to see how they come out and I guess since it's about halfway through they could use a bit of a feed. Thanks again for sharing.

Hi there & G'Day. 🙂
Are you growing much there at the moment ?
Cheers & all the best.
hi there..not much now as the temp is soaring but got a good harvest of 'bhut jolokia ( ghost chillies)' . Have a great day n happy gardening :)
What a great harvest. It is surprising how starting with a larger piece of ginger can really make a huge difference in the yield! :) Thanks for sharing :)
WOW! Absolutely the Best ginger growing lessons here! I learned a lot. I came looking for tips as I have some which I planted in the ground 2 months ago. They're doing ok..but I thought What do I need to do next..? When /how do I know when to harvest? And, abracadabra! All the information in your very clear video! Thank you So Much! Goodn you mate😂
03:56 Just another casual reminder how amazing nature is. Littles things like this always blow my mind, incredible stuff
Thank you so much for the video. Much appreciated. I’m planting my first plants today of ginger. Any tips are appreciated as I’m planting inside ♥️😉😉blessings from New Mexico
Nice one Denise. I would pop it in a spot inside that gets the warm morning sun. I'd also try not to over water it. Only add water if just under the surface of the soil looks to be drying out a bit.
Hope it grows well for you.
Iplant mine in a raised bed in Florida, it loves the heat and full sun.
Very interesting comparison of rhizome sizes and yields. Thank you.
You are a ginger hero. You got me to grow ginger and turmeric for the first time this year. I hope mine does as well as yours. Cheers from Texas.
Hey Tim. How is the crop going mate? I'm about to pop our main lot out today if the storms that have been predicted don't arrive.
Sorry it took a while to get back to you too mate.
Cheers & have a top one.
How did your ginger crop go? I’m planting for the first time today! I’m so excited to give it a whirl. Blessings from a Texan in New Mexico 🇲🇽🇷🇺
Thanks for the video. I'm in Florida. So, should grow well, but I'm just starting and would love to know what you suggest for soil while growing in pots. I'm currently using a bagged mix of potting soil and compost. Would you use that? Or add something to it? Or use something else entirely? Thanks!
I'd probably add in a bit of extra compost to the potting mix. Can't hurt to give it a top feed once you see a few new stalks appear either.
Hope that helps some 👍
Yeah Rob Bob, growin' your own ginger pays off in the end, as of 2015 I've began seeing ginger sold in our open air market and the stuff is EXPENSIVE! Thumbs up Rob Bob, with your COOL uploads we all can also grow our own ginger. :)
Hi Joe & thanks mate. Have you had a crack at some yourself?
Hope to have a ginger planting clip up in a few days showing some of this harvest going back into this bed. 👍
Cheers mate & sorry for missing your post.
Really good video Rob, one of these days I have to try growing ginger. I have never grown it before. Hope you are doing well my friend. See ya
Rick
Hi there! You've got the biggest sized ginger harvests I've ever seen! Would love to know how that happens. I've tried growing ginger in my backyard just once but the seed ginger simply dried up. Probably bad timing.
I put it down to great growing climate & good soil preparation. I have a growing guide looking at planting to harvest that I hope to have finished in a few weeks. You might find a few pointers in there that will help you out some.
Cheers & have a top one,
Rob. 👍
@White Marlin Most the time I will process it like the rest. I find the younger ginger has more energy for starting off the next crop. 👍😊
Good looking ginger there Rob ! I am wondering what to do with my ginger , it is raining and completely over cast since many days which will continue for another 2 months , may be occasional sun .The leaves have either turned yellow or got battered in the rains and winds. The pot has been getting just about an hour or so of sun , so the growth has been slow since I sowed the ginger in December 2016.
Hi MBG & sorry for missing your post. I missed almost all from this clip for some reason. 😕
Did the ginger pull through or did you loose it in the end? I have seen some ginger die off due to too much water so I think that might be the issue you had. They like to have a fair amount of air around their roots & do best in free draining soil.
Sorry again for missing this. BTW, not sure if you've had this issue but I'm no longer getting email notifications from any channels I've subscribed too. Are you having the same issue? Has been going on for a while now & is a real pain as I rely on my email account to keep all notifications in some spot.
All my best to you & the family,
Rob.
Rob Bob's Backyard Farm & Aquaponics Hello Rob !! No worries at all 😀😀. I ended up harvesting before the rains completely got the young ginger . Regarding YT I am getting email notifications . Sometimes the YT direct notifications are delayed which is my preferred method of checking any new notifications or else I head over to the comments section on YT on the desk top. Hope all of you are well , waiting for some 🐓🐔 videos.
Great Monsterous harvest. They really looked like a squid monsta. My family & I really love ginger with lemon grass tea im starting to plant some. Thanks for sharing brother.
Glad you enjoyed it Eric.
Cheers mate & happy growing.

Hi there. This clip might help you out some.
ua-cam.com/video/BcsrCWIDTRA/v-deo.html
Happy growing.
You are fabulous. I'm in Toronto, and watching for your tips for growing in our climate. We can reach 40 degrees in July but have a short growing season. Oh, I always have to remind myself my winter is your summer. Ginger is considered tropical and don't know how it would handle Toronto weather. It is March 23 and we had snow yesterday. Usually can't plant until 24th of May...so maybe 4 to 5 months outdoors. I am on a hunt for recipes for doing the pickled pink ginger which people often call sushi ginger.
I hope you get a decent amount of rhizome set if you have a crack at growing some FF.
Cheers.
If temperatures fall to 4 degrees Celsius, will that kill ginger plants? What if I cover the pots with plastic bag?
I'd say it will if it happens often enough Azam. Ours have weathered the odd cold night here & there during autumn.
They will start to die right back once we get a week or so worth of cold mornings in a row.
I grew some, but I don’t know when it is time to harvest. How do I know it is finished growing?
The plant starts to die back but in saying that you can harvest some rhizome while the plant is growing. Just not too much as it may stunt the plant.
Great relevant video as always. Can't thank you enough for the awesome content you provide!
Hi Libby Kat & thanks.🙂 Hope to be planting some of this ginger back out today & will be posting a clip on it over the weekend if all goes well.
Cheers & happy growing.
Nice tips mate. One day I will grow Ginger :-)
Rob really loves his ginger huh
Yep 😄I have enough to do a few more clips on it but will let it rest for this season. I think there may be a massive Turmeric harvest clip coming soon though. 🤔
Cheers & have a top one.
Can we use those greens leaves from ginger for juce??? Green part of ginger?
I've nevr tried to juice them but have seen them used in recipes Jovan.
We use Ginger a lot in our cooking. How many plants should I grow in order to have a sufficient amount through out the year?
Bit hard to say sorry. I grow 10+ here & still run out some years. I also give a fair bit away at harvest time as well though....
Happy growing.
Rob, we love your blogs, have you tried growing hydroponic ginger.
I haven't grown it in a hydro set up yet but wouldn't mind having a go after seeing how Dr Kratky did with his tests.👍
Am glad you're enjoying the clips too. Hope to have a new one up this coming weekend.
Cheers.
Nice tips there . Will dig up my ginger in my almost 2 years old 10 x 10 polybag
Hope you got a decent harvest FC&BBQ🌱🌱👍
@@RobsAquaponics after about 10 months growing mine in the ground I just got a thick chunk? Wondering if more could possibly have grow underneath it ? What went wrong? I planted a 1-2" organic store bought piece and now that its harvested I'm going to grow cabbage over that spot. Thanks Anybody please? 🙏
@@syg3540 It could be a few things. It may be your climate or it could be the amount of nutrition & moisture in the soil. Is a bit hard to say not knowing how it was grown sorry.
I looked through the comments but did not see this question addressed. Is there a difference in what is done with the mother rhizome vs. the daughter fingers? Can all be eaten/stored or is one one preferable over the other? Can any or all be replanted? (sorry: I see it was asked & addressed 2 months ago by Nichole).
We treat them the same way here when it comes to processing them for eating as well Melvin.
Cheers mate 👍
This video was amazing! I have a pretty decent organic ginger plant growing right now and this information will quite useful during my growing journey and also when I harvest! Thank you!
Am glad the video has helped Robbin.
Cheers & happy growing. 🌱🌱🌱
@Lori Rose Briggs Thanks Lori. 😁
I freeze the chunks and they last long, maybe even years, never tried that long.
It's also very easy to grind them when frozen
Nice one. 👍 We've been keeping ours in the ground & harvesting when needed over the past season or 2. Will be doing a major harvest soon though as I need to move the bed from the position it's currently in.
Cheers & have a top one.
Yes I vacuum seal mine and some have lasted over 7 years and tasted a little less gingerly but otherwise fine.
Can you please tell me if you can pack ginger planting material by vacuum packaging for long distance transportation? Can they be used later as planting material?
I'm not really sure to tell you the truth. If they're being imported to your country they may be treated which might stop them from sprouting. Best way to check is to plant some out & see how you go I'd say.
Hope you get some to sprout. 👍🌱🌱
Hi there again. I misread this question when I answered before, sorry about that.
If it's ginger that you know will sprout, I don't think vacuum sealing it for transport would cause it not to sprout once it arrived at it's destination.
I do know that some countries will irradiate food that's being imported & that may be an issue with it if that's the case.
Hope that helps some.
Hey Rob, ive set up a raised garden bed, and we've filled it will a premium soil but after a week of having the soil in, the surface had dried up and started to crack. The actual depth of the dried surface is about 5cm, what do i need to do to fix this?
Hi there & sorry for missing this post.
I'd top it off with mulch. 👍 That will shade the soil stopping the sun from baking it & also help to stop the water from evaporating out. are you still having issues or did you sort it out buy yourselves?
Cheers & happy growing.
Can the mother be used at all once reharvested?
The mother rhizome can be used to start another crop next season Brian 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.
Your video really stood out and very informative.... Im planting 100lbs of ginger pieces.. using a nice Sandy soil mixed with cattle manure.. layer with miracle grow soil over the rows.
WOW Jason. Do youi have a commercial farm/market garden?
Hope they're doing well for you. 👍
@@RobsAquaponics I grow the ginger behind my home there's a large area... I'm going to wholesale the produce ... Well the plants are just over 1ft tall I planted them this year February. The fertilizer I'm using is natural seaweed that was soaked for 1month...
could you replant some pieces?
The mother rhizome can be used to start another crop next season 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 for use in the kitchen. I like to hold back some good looking pieces from the harvest to plant out next season.
Cheers.
Probably not a good choice to grow in zone 5B? We have some really cold winters
Would definitely be a bit of a challenge Shelley. 👍
I'd suggest trying to grow them inside if you could.
@@RobsAquaponics On widow sill where sun shines (if it shines) or anyplace where there's constant light and some heat for 6-8 hours
My ginger has sprouted a flower in it, I don't know if it's ready to harvest hahaha
I have seen them form flowers about mis way through the season so it may not be ready to pull the whole plant yet.
I like to harvest them once the foliage starts to die back. You can leave them go until it dies back completely as well if you like.
You could also break off small sections as it's growing if it looks like there's a lot of rhizome growth. I wouldn't take too much though as it can reduce the final yield a fair bit.
@@RobsAquaponics alright, thank you. Will follow your advice. 🤙🏻
i enjoyed the video and thank you . i have some ginger in atm and will soon be ready to harvest i hope and thank you for the tips
Hope you get a decent harvest Shane. 🌱🌱👍
Looks like you actuallt got more with the small. If you divide the large in 4 pieces you got more with the lil.
Great video thanks!
Glad you liked it Jordan.👍
Happy growing. 🌱🌱
How to make soil mixture. Kindly suggest dear.😊
Kindly provide your contact WhatsApp no for more consult.
Free draining soil with a decent compost added works well for us & many others.
I don't do WhatsApp or general garden consultations sorry.
Cheers.
Sir pls say the fertilizers for recovering problems on ginger plant
I use compost mainly with the addition of some chicken based fertiliser if I have no compost on hand.
Hope that helps.
How long does it take to grow?
In our climate it will grow for up to 10 months where in cooler climates you may only get 4+ months before it starts to die back. We can start to harvest the young ginger at about 3 months here while leaving the mother to continue growing.
Hi Rob, do you harvest giant ginger after it flowers? I've grown ginger for the for the first time this year and the plants are sending up flowers ATM. I got the rhizome from a reputable online plant shop in SEQ so in sure I've not inadvertently picked up an ornamental. Nobody seems to mention the flowering part of the growth cycle. To my untrained eye the plants seem to be starting the transition to 'young' old ginger, which seems to be the second of three harvests for farmers. The plants are about 6 months' past sowing in Brisbane. Cheers!
Hi Andrew. I'm filming a ginger update today as it happens. 😉
They do set flowers but they're not very spectacular like the turmeric. I like to harvest when the plants start to die back & quite often wait for all the foliage to wilt first.
For us out here at Ipswich the plant will generally hold on until about July/August but have had some last out until September in a warmish spot.
Hope that helps some mate.
@@RobsAquaponics Thanks for the very quick response Rob. I was aware that you're planning on posting a ginger vid soon. Today is offering a nice backdrop. I'm looking forward to watching it!
How long does ginger take to harvest?.
@@doraleejoseph2744 That depends on your climate. It starts to die back here after about 9-10 months here. We're in the subtropics BTW. 👍👍
How long does it take to grow from the first shoot to that size??
It depends on your climate as I mentioned in the clip. These plants weer in for around 10 months from memory.
Cheers Daniel.
SO good to have such valuable info in a local accent Rob! Blessings, have Subscribed - Agin THANKS 😊 🙏 ☺️ 😘 I just harvested my first Ever Ginger and did exactly what you did - 1 small Rhysome and 1 larger to see the difference. I got 300gms from small one and yet to harvest the larger 1 😉
Nice one Grace. I hope to shoot a video this week looking at some container-grown plants & their yields.
Incredible amount...but worth it...
Hi, do they grow year round ?
Only in the tropics. 👍
Thanks 😊 Very informative!
Thanks for the tips Rob, I'll be trying to grow some ginger in good old English Derbyshire weather 😉
Might be a wee tad challenging to grow there but hope they do well for you Karen.
Happy growing.
Hi Rob. I read the question below about a second harvest from the mother. YOu said you've left them in the soil before and they produced a bit. We have ours on the counter after our final harvest two weeks ago. ARe we able to take those mothers and put them in water over winter and plant in spring or is it possible to plant in our greenhouse. If so, do we cut or leave them as is or is it too late?
Hi Bonnie. I would just pop them straight into the soil now if the greenhouse is warm enough. Leaving them in water may cause them to rot.
I would be carful not to over water them once planted as well as they may rot if the temperature isn't quite warm enough. I like to increase watering once I see the shoots above the soil line.
Sorry it took a while to get back to you.
Great video
Thanks!👍😁
How many months it took to yield that amount of ginger?
10 months
10 months in our climate. May get less in cooler ones.
Thank you
You're welcome😁👍
very useful
Cheers Stephen.👍
Are there green leaves and stems edible?
Some folks will mate "teas" with the young leaves. I have also seen them tossed in with rice as it's steaming & curries as well.
I put them in my salad and they’re delicious.
Please tell about fertilizer usage
I use compost if I have some. If I don't I will use a slow release pellet fertiliser made from chicken waste. For a liquid feed I will use a fish emulsion.
This video looks at growing ginger in more depth,

Tq so much
I pulled out my small harvest of ginger yesterday. Reason is that we have a lot of rain for weeks and some are rotting. But I did save some to plant again in a more drainage friendly raised bed.
Hope the next lot does better for you PC. Our problem is we've had next to no rain here. 😕
Cheers & have a great one.
this,is fantastic,, and I went wrong, with planting too deap, and keeping well wated,, so as new to this sight, have given me some great tips, and ideas,,, and shall keep looking, from the uk
Hi Denise.
I'll be planting out the next crop of ginger using some of the pieces I saved from this harvest either today or tomorrow. I have another growing clip that has some cool climate tips in it if it helps any,

Lovely video! I learned so much. Can you eat the mother rhizome?
Yes you can. 👍They can be a bit stringy so I like to dehydrate them & turn them into powder or just mince it then freeze the paste for use later on.
Cheers Melissa.
I will have to try growing Ginger in one of my Aquaponics systems. Cheers from California!
Would grow well in there if you were in the warmer areas of CA. 👍
Happy growing Field Trippin'🌱🌱
@@RobsAquaponics Been watching you for quite a while. Little bit of a fan here. Best wishes to you.
Can you tell what is the best time to grow and harvest
So happy to hear an Aussie accent! I live in Cairns. Up here our weather is hot, hotter, cyclonic. I was given some ginger about 3 months ago and had no idea when to harvest, great information just when I needed it. I was about to did them up now! I have new shoots coming up. Is there anything that I should do differently living in this climate? Thanks.
Hey Linda. I have been told by some that their plants will grow all year round up there. It might pay to dig around & harvest older looking pieces of the rhizome if it's still actively growing. Probably best not to take too much if it's a young plant though.
Hope that helps some.
@@RobsAquaponics Thanks for the info, I'll look into it.
Hello, very helpful video! Can you also eat the mother rhizome after the harvest or do you throw it away?
You certainly can eat it Dafin. It can also be used to start another crop next season 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.
Thank you very much.
I DONT SPEAK ENGLISH BUT I LIKE WATCH YOUR VIDEOS
BIG UP ROB BOB's
Thanks 👍 Would like to get them translated into other languages so more folks could enjoy them.

Thank you for a great video I looked at numerous videos (before I found yours)wanting to see how much one might harvest Your video is very clear and informative
I'm glad it was helpful Lori.
Happy growing. 🌱
AWSUM
CHEERS. 😁👍
love your use of space. had a small yeild myself this year... first time planting it. better prepared for next season. onwards and upwards... cheers from down south in melbourne
Hi Elizabeth & congrats. 🙂 Will you be planting out more this season ? Am about to plant our main crop out today or tomorrow depending on this afternoons storms.
Cheers & happy growing.
Rob Bob's Backyard Farm & Aquaponics yes i am planting more this season. I have put alot of effort into my compost and soil prep so hopefully a bigger yeid.
Also purchased a blueberry plant. Potted it out and getting the PH level right. Lots to learn
Thank you Rob 👍👍
great video...…… Thank you!
Glad you liked it Mark.
Cheers mate 👍
Hi Rob. Just tried to dig up my ginger and saw there are new shoots forming. When I duo some up I didnt actually see any ginger root at all! Tried to get a photo of it but cant seem to add to comments. Is it possible that Ive left too long and the original piece of ginger was used up??😂
Thank can happen Carla. How long had it been in the ground?
Can u regrow the mother or the original rhizomes that u grew before if its still hard??
I have left some mothers in the soil & found that they re shot the next season Nicole. 👍 The ones I've drought into the house tend to go soft faster than the harvested roots though.
Cheers.
My ginger was grown from Chinese import and they never grow like that I have very good ginger and turmeric friendly but I cant get the results. I'm now ordering ginger resin from another country to try. I live in Zone 9b, Any advice?
Sorry to hear you're having issues Sonia. I'd suggest you start them out inside early in the season to give them a bit of a head start as they transplant very easily when young. Pop them out into a larger pot or ground once the soil warms up in spring.
I have a more complete growing clip that might help you out some,

😁😁😁😁👍🌱🌱
Nice harvest🎉
Nice, a good point!
Great video! A stupid question. Can I reuse the seed ginger for a 2nd harvest? Or would you use a fresh rhizome?
Also, I've planted my ginger in a tropical garden as an ornamental. Do I have to uproot the whole thing for the roots to keep well, or can I just pick out the odd bits occasionally as I need them in the kitchen. Thanks for the awesome channel :)
Hi Melanie. I have left some of the seed ginger in the soil here & it re shot from different nodes. 👍
I left all our turmeric & gingers in the soil last season so we could harvest small sections as we need them. They may need a little bit of thinning depending on the space you have available but that's no huge drama. It's always handy to keep the tinned out sections on hand in the freezer or dried for use in meals. 👍👍
Hope that helps & happy growing. 🙂
We planted ginger about 3 years ago and forgot about it. Does it go bad underground? We dig up one of the dead stalks and found a huge chunk of ginger but it doesn’t smell like ginger. It just smells like dirt
Some will rot in place but most will keep OK under ground we've found.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍
😁😁😁😁😁👍
I keep reading everywhere that ginger is a natural anti fungal herb.
Is said to be a great medicinal plant. Bianca found tit was great for morning sickness with both our girls.
I find it settles a dodgy stomach as well.
Cheers & have a great one.
AWESOME!
Thanks Village TV.
Have a top one.
Hi Rob,
Love your videos. What do you do with all your ginger?
Hi Carroll. Sorry for taking so long to get back to you.
We freeze most of it after we run it through the food processor. We find it keeps the best that way. 👍 Recently posted a clip showing a few methods we've used to store ginger if it helps you out any.
ua-cam.com/video/OyRhS62HXIY/v-deo.html
Cheers & have a great one.
Do you dig the ginger while the flower is on,or you wait for the flower to dry.I am seeing the ginger above the ground
I'll harvest at any time we need the rhizome. 👍 Normally folks will wait until the plant starts to die back if they're after a maximum yield.
G'day Bob.. love your work!! I'll be having a crack at ginger this season. Foo
Hey Foo. How's it going mate? 😁👍
I have some rhizome you can have a crack with if you want. It's a few generations removed from this lot but is the same genetics.
Have you been out 🔫 🔫 with Craig recently?
Cheers mate.
@@RobsAquaponics Hey Bob.. I ended up getting some from a local "organic" shop to plant out.. 2 weeks and it still hasn't spouted so i'm guessing it had been sprayed with that anti sprouting stuff?!.. not to worry.. i'll try again!!
@@mattfrombyron Ours normally sprouts some time between mid September & mid October when the soil heats up a bit so there's still a chance yet.
Might be a bit later this season due to the cool weather though.
Having way too much fun with that ginger, Rob. If all the stalks are any indication, my harvest will be big this year. May try a different type next season.
Hi Harry. Have you harvested yours yet or is it still in the soil?
Will be using some of the ginger from this lot to plant out this coming seasons crop later today.
Sorry for taking a while to reply as well. Been playing a lot of catch up lately on missed posts & have seen a few of yours.
Hope all's well with you & yours.
Picked a few and letting the rest staying put a little longer. May leave several in for a second year, just to see if it enhances the flavor, like the old wives' tales says.
Nice! Good video👍
Hi, what type of soil does ginger need?
Free draining, with a decent amount of organic matter that will hep feed the plants KK. I prefer to use compost where possible as my added organics.
Excellent. Thank you
Cheers Carin, hope it helped you with a few ideas.
How about pointing out what you planted to get the ginger?a seed?
I saw a video where you dug in the dirt and pulled up ginger!!!
I mention the size ginger I use to plant out at 4:24 👍

Hi. I harvested my ginger and they have roots all over. Do I report them or cut off the roots?
I trim the extra roots off. 👍
Dear Sir about compost I could not listen or understand properly. Can you please write 3 ingredients compost for me. Thanks in advance.
Greetings Rob, How do you know when the ginger is ready to be harvested? Thanks
I like to harvest them once the foliage starts to die back. You can leave them go until it dies back completely as well if you like.
You could also break off small sections as it's growing if it looks like there's a lot of rhizome growth. I wouldn't take too much though as it can reduce the final yield a fair bit.
Hope that helps some.

How does it take to harvest ginger?
In our climate it will grow for almost 10 months but in cooler climates you may only have a 5-7 month growing season.
You can start to harvest the "Baby ginger" as soon as you have 4-6 full grown green stems on your plants.
Hope that helps some.
Is the mother ginger edible after harvest?
It certainly is. We tend to freeze them or dehydrate them as they're not as soft/crisp as young ginger.
How you know it's ready??
I harvest the main crop when the plants start to die back.
