      Hi KenVZen, Thanks for watching! The type to use is coarse sand, also known as horticultural sand, yellow sand or builder's sand, which allows water to gather in pockets to feed roots as they search for nutrients in the soil. You can ask for this at your local garden center.

  • @sallymichellebarnes7671

    Thank you much for this tutorial! I was gifted some already established Turmeric that needs uppotting as it is in 1 gallon pots. I would like to put them all together in a 5 or 7 gallon grow bag. Do you recommend that or just let them finish in their pots, harvest what I can and then look to start a larger patch next year?

    • @EdenMakers
      @EdenMakers  10 місяців тому

      If you have already established turmeric plants that are currently in 1-gallon pots, you have a couple of options to consider:
      Uppotting to Larger Grow Bag: Transferring your turmeric plants to a larger 5 or 7-gallon grow bag can provide them with more space for their roots to grow and potentially result in larger plants. Turmeric plants can benefit from having more room for their rhizomes to develop, which can lead to better growth and more robust harvests.
      Harvest and Replant: If you're not sure about transferring all your turmeric plants to larger grow bags, you can harvest what you can from the current plants and then replant the rhizomes to start a larger patch next year. This approach allows you to utilize the current plants for harvest while planning for a larger crop in the future.
      Both options have their merits, and the choice depends on your gardening goals and the resources you have available. If you have the space and resources to uppot the plants and provide them with proper care, it might be worth trying the larger grow bag option to see if it results in better growth and yields.
      Remember that turmeric plants prefer warm and humid conditions, so providing them with the right growing environment is essential for their success. Additionally, make sure to provide adequate drainage in the grow bags and choose a well-draining potting mix suitable for turmeric cultivation.

    • @EdenMakers
      @EdenMakers  2 місяці тому +1

      Hi Lisa, When a turmeric plant flowers, it signifies the end of its growth cycle.
      After the turmeric plant flowers, it will still take some time for the rhizomes to mature and be ready for harvest. This period can vary depending on various factors such as the climate, soil conditions, and the specific variety of turmeric being grown. Typically, it takes about 7 to 10 months after planting for turmeric rhizomes to reach full maturity.
      During this time, the plant will continue to grow and develop, with the rhizomes gradually swelling and storing nutrients. It's important to monitor the plant during this period and harvest the rhizomes when they have reached the desired size and maturity. Harvesting too early can result in immature rhizomes with less flavor and nutritional value.

      Hi Boo Rene, The ideal soil for growing turmeric is loose, well-draining, free of big clumps or rocks, and fairly rich in organic matter. For a container, combine approximately 70-80% organic potting soil (or similar raised bed/container soil blend) with 20-30% well-balanced compost.

    • @EdenMakers
      @EdenMakers  4 роки тому +2

      Hi Tricia! I don't recommend play sand. Although sand may seem similar in size and weight, there are sands that shouldn't be used in the garden due to their makeup. Beach sand has silicon dioxide or quartz. It is rocky and doesn't provide the space that plants need to find oxygen and water in the amended soil as easily as plain coarse sand from the garden center. Clay sand has been dried and screened for children and landscaping areas, but it also doesn't provide the pockets of sustainable nutrients and air that plants need to thrive in a home garden. The type to use is coarse sand, also known as yellow sand or builder's sand, which allows water to gather in pockets to feed roots as they search for nutrients in the soil. You can ask for this at your local garden center.

    Can I grow turmeric inside under a grow light?

    • @EdenMakers
      @EdenMakers  4 місяці тому

      Hi and thanks for watching! Yes, you can grow turmeric indoors under a grow light. Turmeric is a tropical plant that thrives in warm and humid conditions, making it suitable for indoor cultivation with the right environment.
      Turmeric prefers temperatures between 68-86°F and high humidity. Maintain a warm and humid environment by placing a tray with water near the plant and misting regularly.
      It requires bright, indirect light. If you're growing it indoors, provide at least 8-10 hours of light daily. A high-quality, full-spectrum LED grow light is a good choice to supplement natural light or as the primary light source.

      Ethan Kodrich Hi. I actually have naturally clay soil in my garden and it is very difficult to work with. This is why I grow my vegetables in raised garden beds that I fill with clean top soil and compost, or I plant in pots!
      In order to plant directly in clay soil, You need to first prepare the soil. I would dig 10 to 12 inches deep and add a generous amount of compost and mix it in. The soil has to be loose so that the plants can establish roots. Once you do this you can plant just about any vegetable plants or herb. My suggestion is to plant in containers Unless you have a very strong back and are willing to do the work. Thank you

    What do I do if I live in the Northeast on Martha's Vineyard? I can get them now in the store down the way. Expensive at 10 dollars for probably 1/4 pound. How long can I keep them under sand for before I plant them? And is beach sand okay to use, as there's lots of it here? Also, do all of them need to be taken out in the fall? or can they just be pulled apart and some replanted for the winter, like horseradish, which winters over quite well here and supposedly grows like weeds once spring starts? I really would like to have an abundance of this crop for how expensive things have become. And it is great for cancer prevention. And tumeric tea! :) By the way, ever notice the Mandela effect with the name Tumeri? I know it wasn't always spelled with an 'r' until it seems the last 10 years or so. I never ever spelled it with an 'r'. :)

      Hi Craig, Thanks for watching. You can store turmeric root in sand for long periods of time.
      Use a clean horticultural soil to store the roots because you can turn this sand into the soil to use for growing turmeric in loose soil. Beach sand can harbor many pathogens.
      You don’t have to harvest 100% of crop in fall. Allow some of the rhizomes to stay and continue growing in the soil. Good luck!

      Until your turmeric grows, try ordering organic turmeric powder. Warm(make it hot) 1 cup non dairy milk on stove >>add 1tsp turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp cinnamon powder 1/2 tsp ginger powder, 1/4tsp black pepper(helps turmeric to be more effective)>> stir/mix well>>add sweetener of choice Enjoy!

    What would happen if I harvest early? My fall frost date is Oct 27 - so I only have 5 months. I have cannas in a pot I have had for several years - I just move the pot into the garage for the winter and it keeps coming back. The turmeric looks a lot like the canna & seems to have similar requirements - so could I treat them the same way and harvest sometime next year?

    • @EdenMakers

      You could definitely harvest early just be aware that your turmeric will not have grown very large. For large tubers you have to allow the plant to go through a few seasons without harvesting

      Hi Boo Rene, Thanks for watching. Keep the soil moist, but not soggy, and mist the leaves once or twice a day with water to keep the humidity up. Allowing the soil to dry out at any point will reduce your final harvest.

    • @EdenMakers
      @EdenMakers  3 роки тому +1

      Hi, While you can grow turmeric from grocery store-purchased roots, it can be difficult because these rhizomes may have been treated with a growth inhibitor to prevent them from sprouting in the store. You may have better luck purchasing rhizomes from a small, ethnic grocer who imports roots that have not been treated with growth inhibitors. Also, you can find it online. Hope that helps!

      If you have warmer weather where you live, that is the best time to plant (as I allude to in the video). If it is a colder region, start indoors. When the weather gets warmer, and after your plants have begun to leaf out, you can move your turmeric plants outside to benefit from the fresh air and sunshine. Daytime temperatures should be at least 68 degrees Fahrenheit, with nighttime temperatures not below 50. Note that if it sprouts while it is still inside, it will need ample light or sun.

      Hi Loren! Thanks for watching. Plant turmeric in September or October, into a warm soil before it gets too cold. Turmeric requires 8 to 10 months of frost-free growing, from planting to harvest. It is usually planted in the winter and harvested the following fall to early winter. Turmeric can be grown outside year-round in USDA zones 8 and higher, in the ground or in containers. Hope that answers your question!

    can turmeric grow in a sandponic system?

    • @EdenMakers
      @EdenMakers  Рік тому

      Yes it can. However, it's important to note that turmeric plants generally prefer well-draining soil and may not thrive in a pure sand medium.
      To successfully grow turmeric in a sandponic system, it is recommended to mix the sand with other components to improve the nutrient availability and water retention. You can consider incorporating organic matter like compost or coco coir into the sand to create a more suitable growing medium.
      Ensure that the sandponic system provides adequate water and nutrient supply to the turmeric plants. Maintain proper irrigation and nutrient levels based on the specific needs of turmeric, as it requires consistent moisture but not waterlogged conditions.
      Additionally, provide the turmeric plants with sufficient light and maintain the ideal temperature and humidity levels for their growth.
      It's worth mentioning that turmeric can also be grown in traditional soil-based systems, so if you have access to good quality soil, that could be another option to consider for cultivating turmeric.

      For growing turmeric in an aquaponic or duckponic system using sand as the growing media, consider the following:
      Turmeric plants require a balanced NPK fertilizer.
      Provide a moderate amount of nitrogen (5-10% N) for healthy vegetative growth.
      Increase phosphorus (5-10% P) during flowering and fruiting stages to promote flower and root development.
      Include sufficient potassium (5-10% K) for overall plant health, disease resistance, and strong rhizome development.
      Conduct a soil test to determine specific nutrient needs and tailor fertilizer application accordingly.
      Monitor water quality and nutrient levels in the system to ensure optimal conditions for turmeric growth.
