I’m just your average dad in Sydney and only by watching your videos I’ve become interested in gardening. Now I’ve got a few square metres of a raised bed, a few large bags for potato’s and 2 Dozen pots for beans, peas, carrots, and lots of other veggies and citrus. It’s becoming a very enjoyable hobby but also an education, and a totally free source of nutrition and pleasure as I can now supplement every meal with free clean ingredients that I can cook / steam/ fry /grill. I understand that this is how life was supported for thousands of years and so it’s almost a genetic memory to relearn how to cultivate life. Thank you.

I really appreciate the way you explain these things for "normal" people. I feel like your description of the "eyes" was perfect. Gardening isn't nearly as complicated as many professionals make it seem and the steps are often just obvious. Clear a space, lay it out, bury it a bit, water it and make sure the soil isn't garbage. Simple and easy.

Useful tips mate, TY. A couple of suggestions: 1. Before planting, try soaking the ginger in a solution of Trichoderma overnight. This protects the ginger from fungus. 2. Grate fully developed ginger into lime juice add a pinch of rock salt. Store in a glass bottle(steel corrodes over a period of times). Drink a spoonful of this when you have indigestion. Prettys simple and effective. 😃.

The leaves never got really big and were always sickly. I repotted it several months ago and have since enjoyed beautiful, lush foliage, and I keep seeing new shoots coming up. I think I will harvest some soon! Thank you for educating us on sub-tropical gardening, it has been wonderful to learn.

Just discovered SSM and I am loving it, just had to subscribe. USE FOR GINGER : our No 1 family use is for treatment of teenage pimples! True. It cleans the circulation so well and fast that within 24 hours facial skin improves. My teenage boys use it all the time, … I don’t even have to tell them too! They just automatically, voluntarily use it if their face is breaking out or they have sugary foods (pity it wasn’t the same response when the lawn needed mowing). Anyway I chop up fresh ginger into small pieces, put about a 1/2 teaspoon of the stuff in a coffee cup and add boiling water, basically a fresh ginger tea. You can refill the same ginger with more hot water a few times over. I often chop up fresh ginger into little single serve amounts, put into a tiny ziplock bags and freeze. Then when needed just take out of freezer, out of bag, add boiling water … instant pimple cure. Enjoy!

Thanks so much for this video! Here is some thing really really cool about Ginger, If you get a cheap planter or even a washing up bowl. Use exactly the same method you use for growing it. But leave it undisturbed for about 1-2 years and you will get the most awesome sweet smelling flowers ever. You can harvest some seeds and grow them and by doing this you will get seeds plants more suitable to your local environment. Useful if living in a temperate climate, Just take the whole planter indoors and keep dry over winter. Very important not to cut the old stems in any way. Just leave totally undisturbed, It some times takes a few good years for the plant to send up flowering stems, But well worth the wait.

How I use my fresh ginger. I have to have a heart and both lungs transplant. I already have multiple stents in my heart. I asked a eastern medicine doctor for a natural treatment that I could use to keep my heart vessels clean and clear. I can't take medications for it I have had allergic reactions. He suggested I take fresh ginger peal in and grind it in a smoothie maker. I take one full teaspoon daily and I have not had any more blockages since I started taking the ginger. Also, the blockages they were going to stent ended up desolving before my procedures were done. About six moths of daily dosing cleaned every thing out. I mix the ginger paste with an equal amount of apple sauce and do two teaspoons of it. The apple sauce cuts the strength down so it's easier to take. I follow it with 8 oz of water. Enjoy the benefits of healthy vessels.

Terrific as always Mark... I always learn something from you. Thank you!! My absolute favorite way to use ginger is blended with my green drinks... As much ginger as I can handle along with some spinach, kale and some fruit, be it apples, bananas, grapes, strawberries, pears, berries or whatever is in season. Great pick me up mid-day or anytime really.

I'm glad I've found your channel. This is another valuable video of yours that I've watched tonight. Thank you! I love ginger, I use it for tea, I also cut a big junk of ginger and cook it in soup, learned this from my late Mom, she said it would help to make us digest the food better and also it adds a nice flavor to our food.

Great video. Very clear and enthusiastic with your information. Ginger is known in the Chinese culture to restore energy to the body. My favorite is with cooking ginger with Pigs Feet in this special sweet vinegar. The ginger typically used is the young ginger which we called purple ginger. Thanks for the video. Will start growing some ginger myself.

like ur ginger video .everything u said is rite on ...I grew ginger in fkorida on farm in panhandle since 1940 and we grew the ginger in 55 gal.barrels full of to die for black soil both out in the sun directky and partly shaded. I have always had problems breathibg but I make ginger tea and somtimes even mix into my morning coffee ...bow wow cup and guess what I don't hav breathing probkems like I used to have even ashma and double pnemonea etc. yes I drink ginger tea every day over 75 years now and I believe I am healthier because of ginger but I also have gone mostly vegan and big on fruits and veggies. also I am getting interested in yoga and praying rosary doing meditation which totally turns me into a decent happier human being instead of that other ....:)

I live in the eastern northern part of the USA, so when I buy ginger I find it very convenient to store it in the freezer. It grates very well and easily. Besides using it in cooking I love to boil some water and using a micro grater grate some into a cup and make a tea, then either add honey or stevia to sweeten it up a bit. There is nothing better for the digestive track than ginger.

I literally love this channel so much. I learn so much and he’s so down to earth. I have a lot of ginger that is sprouting on my counter and I was wanting to try it out. Thanks for the video! I’m going to plant it tomorrow! My favorite way to use ginger is I juice it and make ginger ale out of water kefir. I combine it with lemon, a tiny bit of honey and then bottle it with a bit of sugar and water kefir. The water kefir probiotics consume the sugar and it makes it a fizzy pop. My children are very picky and absolutely adore “mommy’s ginger ale”

You can add any extra fruit to this for variety . Adding sultanas and walnuts once mixed really adds to the eating pleasure !!

I scrape and cut ginger into small chunks ( about 2 hand fulls) add to boiling water( 10 cups) then cover and turn down to a simmer for 5-6 hours. Each night I Heat a cup in microwave then I add lemon and honey . Great anti inflammatory/ anti nausea!
