Rob Bob's Backyard Farm & Aquaponics How long do the frozen ginger blocks keep? I think you forgot to mention it because I've watched it a few times and don't hear/see it.
Hi Elizabeth. I found some ion the freezer that were over 12 months old last year. They looked a bit frosty but I just rinsed that off & tossed it in the stirfry. I think if they were frozen then sealed in a vacuum pack they could last for a number of seasons. Hope that helps you out some. Cheers & have a top one.
Absolutely. I really want to try all these, do you drink 🍸 a shot of vodka before/while working? Hs ha now I’m interested in a dehydration machine. I’m not sure I’d use it.
Glad they have helped some ROH. 👍 Are you getting ready to harvest your plants soon ? Hope you missed out on the wild weather I've seen in your neck of the woods. Cheers.
Thanks for making this helpful video Rob. 👍 A bloke at work just gave me a bag full of fresh ginger, and I was looking for some ideas for ways to store it so none goes to waste. I decided to go with your paste & freeze method, got it in the freezer now in icecube trays, and in the next day or two I'll vacuum seal the ginger cubes in small batches and put back in the freezer. Whenever I open a vacuum sealed bag I'll just put the remainder of the batch into a ziplock bag in the freezer until I need to open another vacuum sealed bag.
Glad it helped you out ᗰіɢнѕт ᗩʟʟ ᑕʀᴜᴄᴋіɴɢ ᖴіɢнту. 👍 Have almost run out of ginger here & am tempted to harvest some early this season. Have you tried growing some yourself? Cheers & have a top one.
Helped it did, Thanks mate :) I havn't tried growing it yet, but I've since found and watched your video on growing ginger, and now that I know how easy it is, I'll definitely plant some and see how it goes. I'm kicking myself I didn't save some of the ginger to plant out, but hopefully the bloke at work will be bringing some more in, but failing that I'll keep my eyes peeled while I'm out shopping for any ginger with some grow points or buds starting, and start growing my own. Cheers Rob 👍
Fantastic info, thank you!! After building and planting up wicking beds I finally have good crops of ginger.. Yes!!!!! I love these ideas, thank you so much :). They will all be used, but the frozen mashed slurry crafted into frozen, snap-able ice cubes is perfect!! 🙏
Thank you! I just watched your ginger harvest video and now this as I dropped some ginger in my garden that has taken off all by itself and had no idea what to do!! This information is unbelievably helpful for me. I love how you show everything and give loads of information!
I moved to a subtropical zone from a temperate zone and most of what I knew about gardening went out the window. Thanks for helping me adjust to the change.
Delighted to have found you!! Love your show👍💪💖So inspiring all the way around! New to growing ginger and preserving it, so this information is fabulous. 🍃🌱🌿See you again soon‼️
Thank you so much very informative n usefull. I've learned something today. Ginger is so expensive today here in Sydney. $40.00 per kilo. You help me a lot. With your tips. Thank you so much
Aahhh Thank You Rob,now I know how I’m gonna store my massive ginger from my soon to be awesome Ginger Garden. Thank you immensely for teaching some of us the art of Ginger Growing and Storing. One question, what is the coconut stuff you used to retain the moisture,I could g quiet get the name,I will certainly look around here in South Africa. Cheers Mate✌🏿🇿🇦
Glad the videos have been helpful mate. 😁👍 It's called coconut coir & is a by product from the nut processing. Dry sand works just as well. I just had the coir on hand at the time & didn't want to buy sand. 😉 Hope you get a great harvest as well mate. Cheers.
Fantastic! My family and I use a of ginger for cooking additives, and medicinally. It's a wonderful, aromatic plant with dynamic culinary, and healing properties. Thanks so much for the information on planting, growing, and harvesting the plant rhizome. The first time I randomly grew some, I was amazed at the fragrance, that was unexpectedly produced! I'd grown it in my apartment at the time...We live in the U.S. regional S.E. (Northern Most) . Growing year round has its challenges. Really useful information. I'll try my hand it this again, as the season grow warmer. I make it into a drink, and use it all year round. It has both cleansing, and warming properties that help the body to purify, and it's also antibacterial. The information was great. Thumbs Up "Down Under"
For some reason my reply didn't stick. 🤔 We used to make a lacto fermented ginger beer here but haven't done so for a few years as we moved out of the house while renovating. I've since found all my bottles & brew drum & am looking at making some up with the upcoming harvest here. Thanks again Jamal & I hope you get a bumper crop from yours. Cheers & happy growing.
Way Cool! For now, I just concoct a ginger drink to which I add lemon, a dash of turmeric, honey to taste, and a tad of vitamin C. Not being funny, but as I was typing, I was noshing on a piece of natural mastic ginger-flavored chewing gum. To the regular palate, it ain't ya comercial gum, man! Minimally sweet for about 1 min., has no dyes, and a lot of nothing else... Got a sore throat? Ginger chews, or a piece of hard ginger candy helps... Ginger makes a good gargle, breath freshener, and/or rinse for the head.. a bit diluted...let alone a hot-toddy of natural ginger and lemon tea or drink... for a cold, upset stomach, will help expel gas, ... or just to get the chill off, man (..and woman). It can be used as a natural [non-toxic] stimulant in that regard, and it's heat producing. Ginger is a natural motion-sickness aid! This is some good stuff! My family used this herb before, and since I was born. When I grew older, I learned more about it, and really appreciated its wonderful medicinal / herbal properties. Through long years, my family and I have sampled different types of Ginger Beer. Properly homemade ginger beer is way up there, but as far as the commercial brew goes: [for us] "Bruce Cost" produced here stateside, looms large, right now. Then there are a slew of competitors, old and new... You know how it goes. Some are so-called designer elite stuff, not worth the cap on the bottle [taste likes dishwater], while others are plain, simple, and usually pleasant tasting... Now, the benefits, the ingredients, and the preparation claims...Hummm! So, as far as homebound local ingredients, I know what I'm putting in mine, for my good pleasure, and for what benefits are derived therefrom. Finally, I've tasted samples of those who say they mixed up something, but on trying some, it was too darn strong, or it tasted like soap! And ...you get the drift. Way back when (precisely, a little over 5 decades ago), I used hair pomade with ginger in it, kinda pleasant, fragrant, cleansing, and invigorating. Other cosmetics, like salves used ginger as a main ingredient, and there was even ginger and clove-laced incense... Wow... Ver-sa-ti-li-ty! and the Ancients all over the earth, knew about ginger's wonderful properties! Good to hear from you Bob! You and your family be well, be safe! Peace, Jamal
@@jamalabdul-karim3172 Hey Jamal. Would you care to share your ginger beer recipe? I was going to follow this one this time round, th-cam.com/video/PLxREXXHF68/w-d-xo.html Cheers.
Haven't gone to the greenhouse yet as it is still warm. Thinking about setting up growlights in the basement to prolong growing time. The ginger in the grow pouches has done very well this year. I love to candy some then dip half of of a slice in dark chocolate. That was an excellent video. Thanks.
That sounds like a very tasty treat Bonny. 🙂 Am yet to candy a batch from home grown root. As you can see I've got quite a few comments to catch up on so you might get a few more responses over the next week or so. 😉 Cheers & have a great day.
just wrap it in an old t-shirt put it in a wicker basket in a closet for the winter, plant it last winter in a pot and put in your window, stick outside after the last frost of the year. our winters up here are damn near 8 months, you can not let any ind of root vegetable stay in the ground up here. Been growing my ginger for 5 years now, I use them for a ginger juice drink, a bit og ginger pulp, some lemon a little sugar, and yummie
That works well in dry cooler climates. 👍 Far too humid to do that here& we found that the roots tend to go a bit mouldy in a few months when stored in the pantry. Cheers Nicole & happy growing. 🌱🌱
Thankyou for the advice this is my first time growing ginger. Please can in ask if stored in plant pots over winter do u still water it or not? thankyou shaz ;-)
Rob Bob's Aquaponics & Backyard Farm I would love to see you do recipes like that to teach us how to cook with it.. I love you style of teaching and just doing videos in all respect.
Hello Rob and Hi to Lizzie, We love your videos, thank you.Ginger is one of our favourite herbs, because of they have great medicinal values and excellent tastes.Thanks for all the good tips about preserving ginger. 👍🙏🏽😁
Just wanted to let you know that we lost Lizzie to old age at the end of 2020. 😓 We miss her a lot but think her last few years with us were much better that she would have had in the pound. Don't feel bad for not knowing. I know how hard it is to keep up with folks I follow on TH-cam. Cheers & thanks for thinking of her. 😁
Thanks so much for all the great information! I love the idea of turning it into a paste and freezing it. Those cubes seem so useful! Very clever idea. I can’t wait to try it. Do you have any idea if I could do that for garlic as well??
Helpful instructions. Thank you so much! I think I’ll try the dehydration method first and store the chips in an Infinity jar. Next time I plan to try the freeze method you recommend’ making pulp first.
We still have a few dried chips for a couple of seasons ago as backup here Gloria. They will keep for years if you can keep the moisture out or vacuum seal them. Chewers & have a top one.
great video sir! Thank you for posting! i am living/growing in a cold climate, so i was very interested to learn how to save the pieces to grow next season! coconut coir! very nice.
Should the coconut coir remain dry when using it to store Turmeric Root? What temperature should the Turmeric roots/coco coir be stored at? I have a enclosed front porch that gets cold during the winter (30-40° F Approx), would this work?
Thanks for this. Just watched a second time and took notes. You are such a charming man. Greetings from the Southwest Mountain District of Albemarle County, Virginia!
Not yet but I am having a red hot go this summer--plenty of room and I am going to grow a heap..I will use 44 gal drums cut in half as the bed and then use my old frontend loader to tip them upside down to harvest them..Arthritis is not going to beat me..
I put my ginger paste into plyable egg trays. No cutting that way! once they're frozen (usually overnight) I turn them out and put them in freezer bags. I usually measure it out before putting it in, and since I usually use it in no less than 1/2 tsp amounts, that the amount I measure out. Then all I have to do is take out the number which corresponds to the recipe I'm cooking. I do the same with broth and soup base. It also can be done with some types of masala for certain Indian dishes, and the various pastes used in Thai recipes. It makes the process of cooking so easy that it can't be beat. There's nothing like throwing a few cubes, some spices, and the protein of your choice into an Instant Pot and having dinner ready in ten or fifteen minutes. A little extra work now makes for nice lazy days later, and especially when you need them when time is short.
So many ways of storing Ginger and considering you say you all are in the subtropics, thats our climate here as well,.....buying a piece of Ginger in the open air market comes out expensive, I'll be checking your channel out Rob Bob for tips on how to grow ginger, there's a sweet potatoe soup that's cooked with a 1" sized piece of ginger and it sure adds a great and yummy flavor to the soup. Thumbs up buddy, thanks for sharin' and that's a nice pooch ya have there! :)
Hi Rob, can you recommend a good easy & Quick way to use ginger to make a ginger tea and hiw to check for fresh ginger when buying it? I've had some ginger recently and it's always white inside and not that nice fresh yellow🍠
Hey Dylan. We use very thinly sliced sections of ginger & steep that in the hot water if we have fresh on hand. I also like to use a coffee plunger & add minced frozen sections in the base to sieve out any chunks. It's a lot stronger that way so you don't need a lot. I always used to look for firm large root sections when buying that has clean fresh looking skin. Sections with a slight pink tinge to them would be mu preference if available as that colour can fade fast as the rhizome ages. If it doesn't have that pink it's all good, just means it's not uber fresh. Hope that helps some.
Rob Bob's Backyard Farm & Aquaponics no probs :) - side question if you don't mind. Painting ibc's. I imaging primer then outdoor paint?. Was thinking black for winter help water stay a little warmer then make a shade surround for it for summer maybe.
The HDPE plastic can be a right royal pain in the rear to paint. Nearly all of out painted beds are peeling in at lest one spot. I've seen folks have a lot better success when they lightly sand the surface first so the primer or paint has something to grip onto. Hope that helps some.
Good job on the Lizzie girl, good choice by the looks of her,i'll throw a ball at him until he takes me for a walk, loveable young human.... plus great info as usual, digging up my ginger at the Mo, looking good, happy wee jock, as usual...
I use ginger root with organic lemon in my Omega 6 juicer everyday... and in bone broth. I buy it ( live in NY ) and found that if I wrap it with aluminum foil the ginger root last longer. I did freeze ginger root also but I found that it didn't juice as well. I might try growing it. Think I can use miracle grow on the ginger root plant ❓
Miracle grow should be fine to feed the soil & plant with. I would also look to see if there's any good organic feeds the salesman at the nursery could help you with. Happy growing.
That will work just fine Katrina. I have started to freeze leftover rhizome I harvest whole as well. Also save a bit of space in the freezer when stored whole. Cheers.
Thank you for the great videos (I appreciated the flash back in the growing ginger video)... can you leave ginger to grow in the same spot year in year out? Can you replant ginger in the same spot?
Hi Veronique. We leave our main patch in the ground year-round so we can harvest it when needed. I think one bed has been on the grow now for close to 5½ years with just ginger in it. 👍 It does help if you feed the soil up every season. Hope that helps some
@@veroniquelmc6146 I think if you can keep the biota/life in the soil well fed, they will help stop any bad bacteria or pathogens from moving in & disrupting the plants. 👍
I live in Central FL, USA and I have both ginger and turmeric in the ground and in pots..Could I cut off the tops and cover with mulch to keep warm and would it grow larger next season ? It roots are so small.
I'm about to harvest my 1st lot of Ginger and turmeric (Brisbane South) after having been given some rhizomes about 9-10 months ago. Thanks for the handy tips with respect to the different ways to clean, prepare and store them. I think I'll do both the "Paste" (in ice cube trays, then transfer to plastic zip lock bags) and dehydrater methods, but also store some Ginger and turmeric whole, with the skin on, in plastic bags, all in the Freezer
Thanks for watching folks & hope you enjoy the clip. 👍😊

Chewers Hank.
Very good👍 thank you so much! God bless🙏 😊
Fantastic video. Thank you.
Thanks so much for all the great information! I love the idea of turning it into a paste and freezing it. Those cubes seem so useful! Very clever idea. I can’t wait to try it.
Do you have any idea if I could do that for garlic as well??
Rob you are a treasure brother 👍🙂
Thanks BT Greenhouses.
Cheers & all the best. 😁👍
I enjoyed the video 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻thanks
No problem 👍
Helpful instructions. Thank you so much! I think I’ll try the dehydration method first and store the chips in an Infinity jar. Next time I plan to try the freeze method you recommend’ making pulp first.
We still have a few dried chips for a couple of seasons ago as backup here Gloria. They will keep for years if you can keep the moisture out or vacuum seal them.
Chewers & have a top one.
New Ginger root user. Very detailed and helpful. Thanks Rob😊
Glad it was helpful!
great video sir! Thank you for posting! i am living/growing in a cold climate, so i was very interested to learn how to save the pieces to grow next season! coconut coir! very nice.
Am glad it helped some Jeff.
Cheers mate & happy growing. 🌱🌱
Should the coconut coir remain dry when using it to store Turmeric Root? What temperature should the Turmeric roots/coco coir be stored at? I have a enclosed front porch that gets cold during the winter (30-40° F Approx), would this work?
Thank you for sharing this vital info.

Thanks 50SOG 👍🙂

Good advice and good content Rob--top stuff.....I love ginger....
Thanks Ian. Do you grow your own ?
Cheers mate.
Not yet but I am having a red hot go this summer--plenty of room and I am going to grow a heap..I will use 44 gal drums cut in half as the bed and then use my old frontend loader to tip them upside down to harvest them..Arthritis is not going to beat me..
A+ overview!
Thanks Jamie.

I put my ginger paste into plyable egg trays. No cutting that way! once they're frozen (usually overnight) I turn them out and put them in freezer bags. I usually measure it out before putting it in, and since I usually use it in no less than 1/2 tsp amounts, that the amount I measure out. Then all I have to do is take out the number which corresponds to the recipe I'm cooking. I do the same with broth and soup base. It also can be done with some types of masala for certain Indian dishes, and the various pastes used in Thai recipes. It makes the process of cooking so easy that it can't be beat. There's nothing like throwing a few cubes, some spices, and the protein of your choice into an Instant Pot and having dinner ready in ten or fifteen minutes. A little extra work now makes for nice lazy days later, and especially when you need them when time is short.
That's a great tip MD. Thanks for that. 👍😁
Wow. I really enjoyed your video. ❤️ Thanks. 👌
Hope it gave you a few helpful ideas Alida. 👍

No problem Tam Le. Cheers and happy growing. 👍
So many ways of storing Ginger and considering you say you all are in the subtropics, thats our climate here as well,.....buying a piece of Ginger in the open air market comes out expensive, I'll be checking your channel out Rob Bob for tips on how to grow ginger, there's a sweet potatoe soup that's cooked with a 1" sized piece of ginger and it sure adds a great and yummy flavor to the soup. Thumbs up buddy, thanks for sharin' and that's a nice pooch ya have there! :)
Hi Joe & thanks mate. Did you manage to grow any at all this season? Am getting ready to plant out ours this weekend.
Cheers & all the best.
Hi Rob Bob, no ginger grown this year, and winter coming, probably have to wait 'til next year.
Super helpful
Cheers Sarah. 👍😊
Also thanks for the memory , grandma has been gone for 20 yrs

Thanks for the feedback Angelica. 🙂

I am still learning how to dry things. How long and what setting would you put the ginger on to dry it?
Hi Rob, can you recommend a good easy & Quick way to use ginger to make a ginger tea and hiw to check for fresh ginger when buying it? I've had some ginger recently and it's always white inside and not that nice fresh yellow🍠
Hey Dylan. We use very thinly sliced sections of ginger & steep that in the hot water if we have fresh on hand. I also like to use a coffee plunger & add minced frozen sections in the base to sieve out any chunks. It's a lot stronger that way so you don't need a lot.
I always used to look for firm large root sections when buying that has clean fresh looking skin. Sections with a slight pink tinge to them would be mu preference if available as that colour can fade fast as the rhizome ages. If it doesn't have that pink it's all good, just means it's not uber fresh.
Hope that helps some.
omg ginger infused vodka would be sweet!. Awesome idea!
Galangal flavoured Gin is one I'm wanting to try.
Cheers. 🍻
Rob Bob's Backyard Farm & Aquaponics no probs :) - side question if you don't mind. Painting ibc's. I imaging primer then outdoor paint?. Was thinking black for winter help water stay a little warmer then make a shade surround for it for summer maybe.
The HDPE plastic can be a right royal pain in the rear to paint. Nearly all of out painted beds are peeling in at lest one spot.
I've seen folks have a lot better success when they lightly sand the surface first so the primer or paint has something to grip onto.
Hope that helps some.
Good job on the Lizzie girl, good choice by the looks of her,i'll throw a ball at him until he takes me for a walk, loveable young human.... plus great info as usual, digging up my ginger at the Mo, looking good, happy wee jock, as usual...
😀She's trained us well Johnnie 😉
Cheers mate.
I use ginger root with organic lemon in my Omega 6 juicer everyday... and in bone broth. I buy it ( live in NY ) and found that if I wrap it with aluminum foil the ginger root last longer. I did freeze ginger root also but I found that it didn't juice as well. I might try growing it. Think I can use miracle grow on the ginger root plant ❓
Miracle grow should be fine to feed the soil & plant with.
I would also look to see if there's any good organic feeds the salesman at the nursery could help you with.
Happy growing.
Thanks for education on this looking forward to try this.
Awesome video! For storing the ginger, is it ok to cut some ginger in chunks and freeze them?
That will work just fine Katrina. I have started to freeze leftover rhizome I harvest whole as well. Also save a bit of space in the freezer when stored whole.
Cheers.
Great content. Keep it up!
Thanks MBB.
Cheers & have a top one mate.
Thank you for the great videos (I appreciated the flash back in the growing ginger video)... can you leave ginger to grow in the same spot year in year out? Can you replant ginger in the same spot?
Hi Veronique. We leave our main patch in the ground year-round so we can harvest it when needed. I think one bed has been on the grow now for close to 5½ years with just ginger in it. 👍
It does help if you feed the soil up every season.
Hope that helps some
@@RobsAquaponics Thank you for your prompt response, it reassures me as some other sites were talking about diseases building up!
@@veroniquelmc6146 I think if you can keep the biota/life in the soil well fed, they will help stop any bad bacteria or pathogens from moving in & disrupting the plants. 👍
How do you make ginger tea? And is it something healthy for you?
I live in Central FL, USA and I have both ginger and turmeric in the ground and in pots..Could I cut off the tops and cover with mulch to keep warm and would it grow larger next season ? It roots are so small.
You should be able to do that TIP. I left a load of our gingers in pouches last season & they all sprouted quite well this warm season.
Happy growing.
I have been storing ginger in a glass container filled with cold water and then refrigerate it and it last for 1-2 month.
I'm about to harvest my 1st lot of Ginger and turmeric (Brisbane South) after having been given some rhizomes about 9-10 months ago. Thanks for the handy tips with respect to the different ways to clean, prepare and store them. I think I'll do both the "Paste" (in ice cube trays, then transfer to plastic zip lock bags) and dehydrater methods, but also store some Ginger and turmeric whole, with the skin on, in plastic bags, all in the Freezer
Nice one Greg. 👍 It's almost time to get this seasons rhizomes in the soil.
Cheers mate & happy growing.
I drink ginger tea during my intermittent fasting, which I know won’t break my fast, but Would the alcohol that I soak my ginger in break my fast?
I think it would HH.
