I soak my ginger over night in water, then pop them in a zip lock bag and put on a heating mat. Within 2 weeks buds and roots pop, then I transfer to flats or pots. 🤷🏼‍♂️ cuts out the 9+week growth issue with direct soil.

I realize now why my ginger didn't grow well. I saw the first video and now this one. I will put these lessons into practice, and, I will share a photo of my ginger. Thank you Gary. Thank you very much.

I grew garlic, Ginger, and turmeric last year in my raised beds and I don't think I let them stay in the ground long enough. Thank you for all of these tips. This season I will leave them in there longer and start them earlier.

I've had a piece of ginger from the store on my counter for a couple of months and it has growth coming on without any roots or water

I love this video. Thank you so much for your wealth of knowledge! I feel I'm a little behind so I better get to it.

[candacethompson]

Thanks for the great info. I've been using more and more ginger, in my kitchen. I need to do this, and soon ! !

[kimiyemlsmallgardendream]

No frost in my area so I’m going to plant ginger for the first time this weekend all because of your first video on ginger 🌱🌱🌱❤️

[teresamoon]

Thank you for sharing. I now know what I need to grow my ginger.

[fitzpreacherfarm]

Appreciate the information. I’m always learning new things from you. Thanks

Have you thought of trying to plant Pawpaws on the homestead? Its an easy and native plant whos fruit taste great.

[garylyman]

Looks like a plan. Hopefully I will be successful with it. Any more updates on the book?

[ceecee-thetransplantedgardener]

Beautiful. I may have missed it - Do you water from bottom?

[BeautifulEarthJa]

I need two different pots...one in full sun and one in half shade so I can really see what works in my area.

[jffrywad]

So after they sprout you separate the plant and then replant the stem again?

[bethefrem]

Do your flats have holes in the bottom?

Great content, thank you, eager to try this 😁
