Weird of me, but I’ve been rooting sweet potatoes in my fish tank, hanging them over the side on a hook like you would dunk an Easter egg with 😂. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait for it to get warm enough for the slips to go out.
That works.

Tumeric will bloom a white orchid looking flowers when your rizoms are 2-3 yrs old. I grow both Ginger and Tumeric in 3gal pots. Lots of compost tea and vermastera tea. Tumeric can get 4ft tall so put them in 5 gal grow pot. They make beautiful patio plant.
Thanks for the information! I tried to grow turmeric and garlic, never got too tall (and then my cat decided it was a great place for her to pee: dead). I grow worms indoors, since this is Minnesota tundra area, they eat all the vegetables that I eat, which makes their tea as good as it gets, never occured to me to use it for my turmeric and ginger.
@@carmenortiz5294 my Siamese cat decided the green folage and stems of the giner were planted for him to chew on....had to put a piece of hardwear cloth around it with a grow light on top. Lol. Stay warm, like your idea of indoor EWs! Great composters!
Sounds beautiful
@@THERUSTEDGARDEN they are and a big surprise for me last summer!
@@lindahipple4817 Linda did you leave these outside during frost temps? I live in 6B/7A so just curious as to what you did if you have any frost temps?
Was literally just watching your old sweet potato starting videos today

nice video , definitely something different.
I saw an Asian Gardener grow sweet potatoes on a trellis. apparently the leaves make a good green leafy vegetable to cook. growing vines up a trellis keeps them clean and easier to clean.
People like the leaves. But I dont LOL.

We have only eaten the leaves raw so I don't know what they taste like cooked, but the young leaves taste good, older ones not so much.
I seem to grow camóte (sweet pot.) slips better accidentally by being too slow to eat them but, ginger has always been my biggest failure.
Thanks for the tips
Thanks so much for this video! I would really like to grow all of these and really appreciate help and tips.
I'm in 6a so we certainly freeze. Let's say I start my turmeric & ginger this month. Come October, 8 months, I'll need to harvest. What if I wanted to harvest but also continue growing? If I pull it up and repot to bring inside do you know if that might be successful? Might just have to experiment but figure I'll ask someone with experience.
Also, I bought ginger and turmeric from store before I was ready to plant. Automatically I put in the fridge, turmeric feels a little bit soft now. Should I not put in fridge prior to planting? Thanks for your time!
I’d love to see how to break off the sweet potato sprouts when you get to that stage. I have some that have already sprouted and I’m not sure what to do from this stage. Thank you! I love your channel!

My ginger and horseradish love dappled morning sun and afternoon shade. They are under a big, old boxelder tree on the east side. The trees' branches are very high. A big, unhealthy oak provides dappled morning light.

Great video I have ginger and sweet potatoes going now , im using your sweet potato starting method with great results thanks for sharing 👍
I have to say I always have left my ginger in the soil and pulled them as needed. I did however pull them all last season because they became so full in the little container I grow them in. I suppose I left a couple little ones behind because I have new plants sprouting. I generally keep the soil fairly dry so I don't get rot. But living in Florida we have a bonus of hot dry weather most of the time. I grow mine under a tree for partial shade. Going to start turmeric this year. I will be following your advice on this. I have followed your advice on growing sweet potato slips and it works like a charm. Great channel full of good knowledge. Thank you.
Glad to help. Ill try a very dry soil this winter with some ginger. I think it just gets too could.

Can store bought sweet potatoes be used, for instance ones bought from Costco?
Last night put a couple of sweet potatoes into water. Think I'll change and do the dirt method. I live in Buffalo, so hopefully I will have enough time also. Thanks Gary.

Same here -- I put two yams and a sweet potato in water yesterday -- guess they are all going into flats, as shown in the video.
Love the channel. Quick question: what temperature do you keep the room your ginger and seedlings are in? Thank you!
I believe 65 degrees Fahrenheit was the target temp he mentioned.
Yep 65 to 70. House temp

I have been baking my potting mix in the oven. I use an aluminum turkey roaster. I cook it at 350 and rehydrate it with boiling water in a covered pot that traps the steam in. I also water with dilute H2O2 and use sticky traps. Fungus gnats are relentless.
They are and you have the system down for sure.

Do you mind sharing how long do you bake the potting mix in the oven at 350 F?
The last time I tried cooking soil in my oven, I decided I would never do it again. Couldn't take the stench.
@@carmenortiz5294 use your BBQ grill on the outside the results are the same.
Great video iam planting tumeric today thanks so much for the video do you put the tumeric on a heat pad ,as last time it dried mine out and what a bout the plastic cover on top
So I did with the ginger to start but not sure it mattered. Is stopped it after 4 weeks. If you are over 65F I think you are good. No dome.

Val Jalava I just warm my grow pots up in the house, no heat, just moisture in grow medium, no lid bc you'll get mildew problems. I'm in zone 7, so my pots will go out in mid May.
Gary, if you happen to see this, or anyone else who knows ofc.
I've tried this before but never left it that long indoors - probably why it didn't work.
Soil temp here in Melbourne Australia would be over 50 in Sep/Oct (often earlier) so would you suggest starting these in say July indoors?
I'm sure once the ginger is established it will overwinter fine as we have ornamental ginger growing in the front garden with zero care.
Thanks 👍
Yeah I would adjust it to your temps. Starting it any time works. Cheers!

I have not and that is new to me

Yes! I plant mine as whole tubers since they are smaller than Ginger. Once tumeric starts to grow put in a 3-5 gal grow pot. The plants can get 4 ft tall. Flowers will look like white Orchid type flowers.
My gardens are full sun except at the front but it gets bright morning light and has no shade until noon. Will they grow there, do you think?
I think leafy greens would grow, radishes, some herbs.

So, for ginger, you remove the sprout once it's rooted and eat what is removed? Can that piece grow another sprout to repeat the process?
So you eat the rhizome. These are for sprouting and growing rhizomes outdoors.

You can leave rizomes in your grow container and just harvest when you need a rizome.
I think I’m missing something. Where do you get the ginger to root and how do you take care of it to root it.Are you planting it by seed or are you using the rhizomes from the grocery store?
I just started growing ginger for the first time 2.5 months ago (already 3 feet tall). I left the rhizome(from farmer's market) on my cutting board where it got sun and I cut onions all the time, it sprouted fast. Learned later that cut onions and moisture speed up the rooting/sprouting process. Good Luck
Greetings Gary, can red potatoes be started this way also?

Asian markets usually have fresh stock of these.

I may have missed it or confused the details but soak the ginger overnight then dry out for a day or so to scab over a cut? Thanks so much.
Yeah generally. Let it absorb water, cut pieces. Let the cuts dry. Or dip cut ends in wood ash or sulfur powder. However, in a sterile starting mix it is pretty safe to just plant them. But I like to show the right way.

I saw the ginger episode from 11 months ago. Did it do ok in your garden just siding straight in or do you suggest this method over the other one where you planted directly into and all over your garden? Thanks, Marissa
Ps I’m in Kentucky Zone 6B/7A.
I guess I typed too soon. Lol. Sorry I just heard the last part where you compared your harvest from 11 months ago, but if you have any updates I’d love to hear. I really want to grow these!
Too slow planted the way I did 11 months ago. SO this year I am presprouting it in different ways.

I grew ginger indoors a couple years ago in a container by cutting it up, and basically replicating what you did but I used potting soil not seed starter. The sprouts grew to be about a foot tall indoors over the winter but I never cut the sprout/roots from the original planting. When I removed the plant from the pot and planted on the E side of my home it didn’t seem to grow much, but it lived. When I dug it up in the fall I wasn’t very impressed because I basically had the same amount I started with. Now I’m wondering.... if I had removed the sprout with roots if I would have seen better growth or is it just that you can use the original bulb right away and get another bulb from the sprout? I’ll be interested in your update and I’m thinking about going to get some and try again....good luck with yours. Thanks for another great video.
Ill be doing updates.

The sweet potato is not a true potato but a member of the morning glory family. If you want tubers from slips its' best to seperate the parent tuber more bc of black rot(aka mold) once that starts you'll loose all tubers and vines there isn't a cure for it, you'll need to start over in a different garden spot or replace container mix. Garden on!
@@lindahipple4817 LGarden was actually asking about Ginger. Do you have experience with growing ginger? I too am interested in reading a response to her question and not having to wait for a video follow up months later.
L Garden when I grow Ginger, I put it into a grow pot 3-5 gal size, the place in a spot where it'll get 2-3 hrs of morning sun and about same for eve sun. I put pots out about Mid-May or earlier if temps are 65f or warmer. Sometimes I put them out too early and have to cover with a tarp until its' warmer or bring them inside, which ever works for you. I feed both Ginger and Tumeric the same liquid fertilizer at the same time. They are cousins in same plant family. I use compost tea and earthworm tea, Miracle Boost, and miracle grow sometimes, every 2 weeks, they will grow faster once it gets warm to hot humid weather. I gently hose off the plants if its' not real humid..My plants rizomes stay in the grow pots until I need a piece for cooking and I harvest a new growth tuber piece. You may find the rizomes need to grow a full season before you can harvest it.. be patient they'll reward you. Bring your rizomes inside before the temps drop below 60f to continue growth. When they're ready to go dormant allow the stems and leaves to die back then cut off dead stalks. Rest 3 mos, then water to restart them, keep lightly moist until roots and shoots grow, put in a sunny window or under a plant light. I use Pro-Mix if avail but any seed start mix will work. Good luck!
