I take you through selecting the ginger rhizomes from the store, the importance of soaking the ginger before planting, right through to maintenance of the ginger plant and then harvesting showing my container ginger harvest in real time.

G'day Everyone, I hope you are all doing well! Even though we do have a few acres, I still love growing in containers and it's amazing how much you can grow in a small space. Every little bit helps especially during periods like this when food prices are rising. All the best and thanks for your support. I'll be trying to answer/acknowledge as many comments as I can over the next few days. Cheers :)

As a fellow SE Qlder, I have had success after watching videos from Hawaii. The main tip I learnt, plant in a half empty pot, when ginger root, shows through, put another inch of potting mix on top, when it shows through again, put another inch of mix on top. The root multiples upwards, so keep adding mix.

Notes for personal use; - buy ginger w eyes/ nodes, organic might work best - soak for 24 hrs - plant in large container, premium soil, bury not too deep, grows sideways, helps to break into smaller peices - don’t water too much in early days bc susceptible to rotting. Prevent soil from totally drying out - maybe use humidy some? Unsure - slow to sprout - likes a lot of water once it’s sprouted. But don’t let it sit in soggy water. (He waters every day in summer once sprouted) - likes a lot of sun

An asian lady on yt had a trick she used: you leave the ginger without water together with a quarter of an onion in pieces in an airtight container a few days. (Bc like potatoes, the eyes will start developing shoots fast in company of onion.) Then divide into small pieces each with a shoot, and plant in pot. Speedier and less risk to the rhisomes.

Pro Tip: FREEZE IT! You can make ginger last a LONG TIME by just freezing what you don't use of what you buy or grow. Each time you need some for a recipe, go to your plastic bag of ginger in the freezer and cut off a piece. This way none of it goes to waste. However the just picked young ginger is perfect for making pickled ginger for sushi. To make it pink either use the traditional purple Perilla (Shiso) leaves OR use some fresh beet root.

There are other YT videos that show people pureeing the ginger before freezing, and pressing lines on the bag before putting it in the freezer so it has the shape of a block of chocolate. Then when it's time to use some ginger they can just break a square off the frozen "chocolate" block.

@rhysplant8392 11 ай бұрын

Great vid. Only tip I can add is: when harvesting, do it with care, so you can identify the new root growth and procure that part of the ginger to replant. New root growth have a specialiased cell called 'root hair cells' which immensely assist with water absorption and mineral ion extraction along with anchoring the plant, these cells are lost in mature roots. This will increase your reestablishment of anchorage in media 10 fold and reduce any shock period that may draw out for weeks. Edit : should add that this goes for any Dicotyledon plants during transplant.

@Chocoholiclady66 Жыл бұрын

My understanding is that the pieces after separation need to be left for the open wound to dry and scab over (much like larger seed potatoes if cut up) before planting to reduce risk of disease and rotting. Very good to know that the anti-sprouting stuff they put on things for the store shelves can be removed with a 24 hour soak in water! So many just say not to use store bought because more than likely won't sprout. Thank you so much for sharing!

Hi, Settle in Spain i'm older now, 63 yrs old little 5'3" lady,,. gardening is my Truly needed therapy. i started in my 30's and i was able to work so much faster and take more pressure on my body. i thought it would stay the same,, :) i've always been superfit, healthy about 120 lbs. (now im 135 lbs,, but the extra weight is good for women as you get older,,). I had to clear alot of land, i did all this by hand, or with handtools. My endurance was huge,,, day after day, i'd work. Now,,, i can clear less,,, and have to work hard one day, then take the next day off. In those 35 yrs, i beat lyme disease (which kept me out of commission for 2-3 yrs),,,, and a slip on the ice,, and i broke my (ahhh), tailbone, (that was bad, bad. i missed 3 full summers, and then had to slowly learn how to move again),, BUT i think the best part is my love for this made me never give up. i hope this helps as you move along,, slow, pace yourself,,, take full days off as you need them

Same here. I currently have 2 large rhizomes in a bowl of water, on a heat mat, and I am planning to leave it there until I see active buds or roots. I have tried many times, soaking, planting, nothing. I have always been successful propagating whatever I wanted, and having no success with Ginger is starting to affect my confidence. Of course I should be using organic rhizomes to start, but I have not been able to find any locally. I also agree about the turmeric, it sprouted in just a few days.

@@Auguur Not sure if it is the same with tumeric, but I keep mine in "room temp" to slightly cool water. Although I do live in a more tropical climate, so it is hot outside most of the time and that easily leads to any organic matter sitting in water to rot.

We got so much ginger last year that we froze it. Beautiful plant with the gift of a harvest. Turmeric and ginger grown together looks great. We take grocer ginger and cut pieces with 2-3 spurs and plant in sunny beds. Once the heat kicks in at zone 7 the ginger takes off. Keep it watered. Mark hit the nail on care.

Very interesting. As someone that lived where loads of massive ginger rhizomes were growing, and as you mentioned, they like to grow sideways. So I’d suggest instead of squishing them to grow in such a tiny pot, get some that are wider, and I’d say you will get a bigger crop.

Question. Could I possibly grow leafy shallow rooted cold weather vegetables in the same area as my ginger in winter? If I were to amend the soil with compost so the vegetable roots wouldn't take to much nutrients from the established ginger root. Do you think it would hurt the ginger that I don't harvest?

I've been growing ginger here in NJ for 5 years now! The growing season is just long enough to allow it to finish growing indoors. I start it in mid-March inside. It takes a month to start sprouting. Then it goes in the greenhouse to grow a bit until May when it's warm enough to put out in partial shade until the leaves develop a cuticle to resist UV light. Then in June, it's full-sun until the start of October, when it goes back into the greenhouse as it gets cool. And then it comes inside, which triggers the tops to die off. I harvest some, and let the rest stay in the pots, leaving the soil only slightly moist and stacked until March.

At Alaska, will have to wait until mid-may for the thaw to Finnish, so preping the pots and watering lightly for the first of the 2 months initially is a must Then from mid to late May all through middle of September keep it out Funny thing is the sun does not set in those months (it dims down as between to 5 and 6 p.m. in temrs of typical light levels in the lower 48, yet the sun never fully sets here in summer Any advice on temperatures and light times needed for growing ginger 🫚 would be greatly appreciated I would assume it's a 10 1/2 to 11 hour day of sunlight needed (what happens if left out in the Alaskan midnight sun?)

I've been growing my own ginger from store bought for 5 years. I discovered that the store I bought it from actually had two different varieties. Most of them have the thinner leaves but a few have wider leaves and don't grow as quickly as the others. I also had quite a few volunteers that didn't sprout last year but came up this year. I live in US zone 9b and have a long growing season but living in the desert means they only want morning sun or the leaves will scorch.
