    I planted ginger for the first time this year in containers in my greenhouse. I planted them on April 18th and I found little sprouts poking through the soil today🌱💚🤗

      I think I planted mine about the same time. Dug one up a day or two ago to make sure they did not rot like a couple of my sweet potatoes and saw a bud starting. Very exciting. I am in 6A. I went root crazy this year: potatoes, onions, garlic, and turmeric along with the ginger so far.

      Luke last year I planted ginger fairly late in the growing season. I'm in Chicago. I am a new grower I was told it takes a year before you can harvest. So just before the frost I took the plant inside it grew one long stalk I decided to harvest this April and the rhizome was very small but tasty. Do it really take a year or did I plant to late towards fall.
      Thanks

Once a 2 inch piece sprouted in my kitchen and I tossed on rectangular plastic container, weeks later I pulled the whole plant out and it was a HUGE, MASSIVE root! I didn't know you can brake pieces of it while leaving the rest on the container, thank you for that very useful information.

    I leave mine in the ground and harvest as needed. It comes back year after year. I grew it in full sun, morning sun and afternoon sun areas and grew just as great in all. It likes moist soil the best. I never fertilize mine and the soil i plant it is just garden soil with no amendments and does great! It dies down to the ground in winter and comes back in spring and multiplies like crazy! The only care it gets is some staking to protect the stacks from falling.

    Hi- excited to try growing ginger, but I have to correct something in your video. Ginger “root” is a rhizome, a horizontal underground stem. The growth comes from nodes on the stem, as a white potato “eye” is also a node.
    That’s why they grow horizontally- it’s a stem.
    I don’t mean to be rude; I just covered this in class, and I often mention food & gardening stuff with botany.

      copy; The rhizome is derived from the Greek word rhizoma, meaning “a bunch of roots”. Yes it should be referred to as a rhizome, but it's kinda like saying poodle is a dog. Rhizome is a type of root. But you are correct in that he should be calling it rhizome. Still an informative video since I happen to also live in MI and only started growing this last year.

    Have you ever looked into fertilizing with comfrey?
    I stopped buying fertilizer 2 yrs ago. Since I have horses, rabbits and chickens, I compost the manure they produce, but I also fertilize with my homegrown comfrey. And if I didn’t have the animals, comfrey is so amazing, I would use it exclusively.

    • @rrbb36
      @rrbb36 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Chop and drop is quick means of application but slower nutrient delivery than using a “tea” (which is immediate) bc it takes a little time to break down. Great for trees, fruit tree guilds and perennials. But for my annual veg and fruits, I use comfrey fertilizer “tea”. I haven’t yet made any comfrey concentrate which can be as dark as molasses though not as thick- which would be a lot easier to store and dilute as needed. I may make some this summer, or next. I’ve also heard some people dry the leaves and turn them into a fertilizer powder. Probably a little more labor intensive, but odor free. There’s a lot of good videos on TH-cam that can show you how. 👍

      I've been growing ginger in containers for 3 years on Cape Cod. At the end of the growing season, when nighttime temperature outdoors drops close to, but not below, 45 F, I remove the entire plant from the potting soil. I break off about a 2-3" long piece with green shoots still attached. This is my "starter plant" for the next year. The remainder of the rhizome is my "crop". I cut off the green shoots from my "crop" piece, cut the rhizome into 1-1.5" pieces (about what I would use for cooking in a meal), wash the pieces, put them in a freezer bag and freeze them. I take what I need for cooking a meal from the freezer and let it thaw for 15-30 minutes before using it. I plant the "starter plant" back into the original pot with the original soil. I place the pots in my kitchen in front of a sunny window. I water as usual for an indoor house plant. Initially the plant continues to grow, but after 1-2 months the foliage yellows and withers and eventually falls out. At that point I move the pots out of direct sunlight and stop all watering. Then in late April or early May the plants wake up without me providing any water or sunlight. I wait until the nighttime temperature will not drop below 45 F, then put the pots outside in their summer growing area and start watering and fertilizing for the growing season. I find growing ginger to be very easy and the intensity of the flavor of the frozen, home-grown ginger to be much greater than store-bought ginger.

My ginger leaves are about 3 to 4 ft tall now. As soon as I place it outside it will grow faster. I think I need a wider pot. I plant in coconut coir. My harvest is put in the freezer to use when needed. I also break off pieces to use fresh also. Mine never go dormant.

    Good to find a fellow MIgander, I just started growing ginger last year. Got some still in the pot and half I moved to the raised bed. Here to find out when I need to dig that out.
    BTW.... finding it in the store is NOT at all easy since stores now tend to irradiate produce to keep it from sprouting in the store. And some I found have literally sliced off the eyes which I HATE since those cut spots tend to grow mold making the whole thing useless. I had to order my initial rhizomes online from a grower. So now I hope to keep it going.

    Thank you for all the information. I started two 1/2 gallon pots and have sprouts!
    I’ll be sure to plant in a wider container.
    Can you recommend a companion plant ginger grows best beside?

    Thanks for the ginger info, it is a staple in our kitchen and a necessity for Asian and Indian cooking. Can use explain how much of a harvest that can be expected from each hand buried?

    Thank you for the videos. I live in Ohio and we do have cold winters (zone 5b/6a). What is your advice to store the ginger that I grew during the winter and planting it for the next season? I would like to plant my own, instead of buying every year. Do you have advice? Or direct me to specific resources that may help? and saving it during the winter.

  • @queenofcreepsville

    Since Ginger grows out and not down, would it be possible to plant it in a shallow-ish (5 inches?) but very wide container?

    Regarding intercropping. If I grow ginger under tomato plants how do I harvest them without hurting the tomato roots?

    How deep of a container do I need to grow the ginger? If I have a five or six inch deep container with a very wide diameter would that work?

    • @JamieE76
      @JamieE76 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It sounds like that would work from what he said. Doesn't have to be too deep but must be wide. I planted a large piece from the grocery store in a 8 inch pot a few months ago. It's finally growing some green stalks, but I'll have to find something much wider to transplant it into asap.

    • @MIgardener
      @MIgardener  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I would go 6-8 inches deep to about 10 inches deep.

    Do you have to refertilize during the growing season? Should the ginger be organic?
