    I'm from China, so you know my comment is from someone that's been with ginger the whole life. I know people here actually harvest the mother part just like what he did (maybe wait a few weeks more). It's quite common. It's called "stolen mother ginger". The mother part will become slightly bigger if you care to measure before and after because it's been getting fed by the new shoot during their time together. As Chinese, we love old ginger because it's more potent, so yeah don't let that mother part rot in the mud, it's good stuff.

      Hi Pan. I'm exploring growing ginger in the UK in a greenhouse. I know at best I will get 6 months growth and the younger roots. Please do you have any advice on how to grow the older roots in cooler climates? I intend to grow in pots so maybe just keep frost free when the temperature drops? I value your advice/pointers and I'm sure others in the Western world will too.

    • @vjaypan

      @@BeachesInCornwall I'm totally not qualified to answer this, zero experience. But just from theory: you'll want to treat the "living ginger" in the mud the same way you treat the harvested ones in the kitchen: keep them dry. Low temperature should stop the ginger from growing so it doesn't need much water through winter, at the same time if the mud has too much moisture then the ginger get what all other plants get: rotten roots. Leaves dying out is totally fine, they will be replaced by the new ones in the next season.

    This one video would let anyone grow enough of this one crop to make 3-10 grand a year, very part time. It is an incredibly valuable video. Essentially you are making "slips" from ginger much as you would from a sweet potato except you get way more slips over time and a much more high dollar plant. I showed this to a friend who has about 25 years of horticulture experience and he was blown away by it, called it a "game changer". Knowing to do the dry out alone he said was huge, but perpetual propagation, is insane.
    We have people bitching about things like student loan debt everywhere but a few hundred bucks to get started and you could have a few grand in niche product to sell. People think I am a prick for saying it, but today in the western world, poverty is a choice.
    When I was a kid I wanted a car and had no money, I found a huge pile of old electric motors in an abandoned mine shack on the mountain, no way to get in other than walking. For a couple months I hiked up there daily, cut the copper on one end and pulled it out on the other end. In two months I had enough to buy a car, put gas in it for a few months and pay 6 months insurance, my dad let me get the car.
    Once I had a car, I could get a job, so I stopped pulling copper. My friends said I was "lucky" to have said car. I told them where the copper was, said there is enough up there to buy at least 5 more cars go get it. 15 years later I was visiting with my family, I hiked up there with my son and wife, the pile remained untouched since the last I had pulled from it, zero of my friends who called me lucky would just go get it, why, it took work, real work, a few hours a day and pain in your hands work. Then a three mile hike back down with a heavy pack.
    Poverty is a choice. Videos like this are a way out of it for those who will make the right choice. Curtis, this video is amazing, thanks for putting it out.

    Thank you for sharing this. I have often seen shoots starting on pieces of ginger I bought for Chinese cooking after I kept it a while and tried planting it, thinking the shoot might grow but it just died off and the mother ginger bulb shrivelled up and had to be discarded, too. I concluded it was due to cold southern Aussie climate for about half the year. But now you tell me ginger needs one first big heavy watering and then drying out, in order to germinate effectively and it takes patience, waiting. Will try again, this time applying effective correct methodology.

    • @midwestmangos2452
      @midwestmangos2452 4 года назад +1

      The temp is a big part of it, but patience is equally important in my own experience. Germination should happen at about high seventies to mid eighty degrees Fahrenheit and most rhizomes will sprout within a week. In terms of watering I've had the best luck with a 24 hour soak before planting in a well draining soil with plenty of organic mater. On a similar topic, organic material is essential for ginger growth, we've had good luck with growing in 100% compost, though we're experimenting with forms of hydro and aeroponics to see how it works.

    so I commented one month ago on this. I planted approximately 8 pieces of ginger and I now have 4 shoots, all at different lengths. I am looking forward to breaking off the shoots from the original piece of ginger and replanting to see how it grows. It is now way too cold here to plant outside so I am going to give this a go indoors along with my micro greens and wheat grass that I grow year round. Thank you once again for sharing.

  • @CharlesGinzel
    @CharlesGinzel 5 лет назад +28

    so just as a note, the larger piece you use as a mother to start the plant, the larger production you will get from that planting. the energy in the mother is what gets the young plants growing more strongly. a 2-3 inch piece is the best start. i'm not sure what the production will be for plants separated from the mother as i have always planted the mother and let the plants complete their full cycle. however, i have replanted the original mother the following year, but that usually results in a less vigorous plant (meaning less edible rhizome produced). also, as i understand it, edible gingers are day length sensitive so i'm not sure how successful John will be with his winter experiment.

I can tell you from experience, that's going to make your plant take FOREVER to produce any rizomes at all! He also said to plant them a few inches deep. Yea... uh no... don't do that lol. hahaha!!
      So I have a plant that has leaves, and it's growing some kind of root system, but no rizomes to show for it at this point. I will prob let it keep growing bc the leaves are very flavorful and prob have the health benefits as well, but I don't expect this would have actual rizomes for... years lol.

My first experience of growing ginger resulted from abandoning a piece of rhizome on a damp kitchen window. Even without being planted, the rhizome added new growth. I have never actually seen ginger being planted like that - will have to try it next year. May try growing some indoors under a light as well. The spices make good hot drinks. I used to like boiling water on Star Anise or simmering ginger in water. I am not a fan of 'green teas' but love the spice infused water. Thanks.

      I been growing tumuric and ginger couple years now, bought some from organic market years ago and still growing form same mother. Here's how i do it if someone is reading this and is curious, i recommend to put ginger/tumuric rimozione in a smaller size clay pot and pour some water on it, but you have to leave some of it out and somewhere where is warm but not too warm, once the water has almost fully evaporate pour some more,if needed wash the clay pot, don't use plastic it will rot, natural clay pots helps the water stay clean and then you know the ph is right for sprouting to take place ,after two weeks u should see little sprouts and white roots coming out of it then its time for planting, i think if you put it in the water, it sprouts little bit faster, start doing this at least 3 months before planting it outside: I live in Easter Europe in Estonia where weather is really cold most of the year, 3months summer time and thats it, but still ive had great results, this year i got couple kilos of tumuric that growed in the greenhouse, but you can grow it if you really want to even if you live somewhere ehere in winter time it gets -35C, if it sprouts too early while its still cold outside use 5W or 10W LED to help the plant get good roots. Hope it helped someone who wants to grow but doubts that it will grow in cold areas.

    Tried ginger, turmeric and gangala root this summer, but didn't know to let them dry out and they didn't germinate. What a timely video for next year, can start them now and transplant in the spring.

    Loved your compost video too. Cheers Aaron

    Be careful eating the leafs though because it is sharp it can make cut like a knife and hurts on fingers,

    Very I interesting method ,to start and grow ginger. Your comment Curtis for my me thinking about Johns garage. Shelter Logic makes garages , sheds and greenhouses. The garages frequently are on sale but never the greenhouses. Get the garage kit and cover with greenhouse plastic.
    I want to see John's farm on my next trip to BC.

    • @micahsutton986
      @micahsutton986 5 лет назад

      Tires are full of heavy metals, so not the best thing to use when growing root crops. Biological uptake of toxins starts with root/rhizomes, then stems, leaves, with the fewest toxins in flowers and fruit.

      There was a fermentation summit online a few weeks ago, one of the sessions was ginger beer, you might like it? It's pretty detailed , more of a conversation than a how to, but the girl knows her stuff, I've made some nice ginger beer since watching it. A Jamaican friend told me to add some scotch bonnet to my ginger tea to give it some bite, that works a treat but be sparing so you won't taste the chilli over the ginger :) ruclips.net/video/z9T5f7CZc_E/видео.html

    That's amazing! Thank you very much. I was looking for a way to grow ginger for ginger beer and cooking as it's so expensive here in Australia now ($55). I had no idea you could eat the leaves as well -- and make tea too, I think. Subscribed.

  • @etm567

    Yes, and that beautiful young ginger is what makes pink pickled ginger, for sushi. I'm going to grow some in containers next year. Large containers, but I don't have any room in my yard, and we rent two tiny plots from the town -- about 8' x 14' -- to grow vegetables. Very limited space for vegetable gardening.

    I have been growing ginger, but have not employed that technique. I will have to try that. I use a lot of ginger for cooking, herbal, etc. I know it is suppose to take upwards of a year to get a mature ginger root which is what he has used for getting the sprouts. My understanding in cooler climates than what is the norm for ginger to grow in people grow them as baby ginger in greenhouse/hoophouses like the first one he dug up. :)

    We've grown turmeric and ginger here in Pa. He is right about being patient. We grow in shallow pots with about a foot circumference so we can just carry them in every fall and back out in early summer. It would be awesome to be able to grow them in the ground.

    I love candied ginger.....also Ginger Tea with a little honey is superb stuff. Great for settling the tummy. Ginger Beer is excellent too, I just chop & boil some up and add some sparkling water and some honey or sugar to taste. Lovely on a warm summer's day - try it with a lump of vanilla ice cream floating on top.... so delicious!

  • @charlanpennington3989
    @charlanpennington3989 3 года назад

    For cooks: you may pare any bad spots, don't bother to peal, wash well, and chop 1 inch pieces in the food processor. Freeze in VERY flat ziplock bags. Remove by breaking off portion you want. Use half and half with garlic in stir fry’s. Also try instant ice cream by chopping some really fine, remove from food processor, chop ice, add cream or half and half or nondairy, vanilla, sugar or alternate and ginger to taste. Work fast so ice doesn't melt.Kids love this especially.

    this is the first year for me planting ginger … hopefully the weather will cooperate and give it a few days without rain, so it can start sprouting! I make a dish for family holiday meals with oblique cuts of carrot, grated ginger, and a little honey, sautéed in butter. It's a curse: I would like to make something else for variety, but everyone tells me to "bring those carrots"
