Great tip

I had some turmeric a friend gave me sitting in a plastic bag for over 6 months in the cupboard that i forgot about. I planted it just a few weeks ago and its growing like crazy. This stuff really is ridiculously tough.

Australia has a warm dry climate, ideal for growing fruits and vegetables. Good job Mark!

This is the most detailed vid from A-Z on turmeric I've come across, just love the detail and time taken to explain the 5 points. Awesome!

I have finally, after months and months of looking, I have finally found and acquired some turmeric root. I've been growing some ginger for months now, and now I can finally plant some turmeric! Gosh thanks for all the wonderful and beyond helpful info Mark! I would NOT be as good as a farmer as I am if it wasn't for your help

You can also eat the greens and flowers! That might make for an interesting stir fry or, better yet, an awesome addition to a salad!

I think what I love best about your videos is you constantly plant companion plants together. Or just have herbs with your tomatoes and using small spaces to grow multiple types. Whereas many other garden videos do huge long rows of the same veggie. Just makes more sense making things a bit more loose and companion like.

Hey Mark, just harvested my first crop of garlic and am very impressed. The plant was very beautiful and gave my garden a real tropical feel. I received lots of compliments and folk were astonished to hear that it was Turmeric. I was going to grow chilies in the same position next and try the Turmeric in another location. Cheers!

I watch you from Kuwait and enjoy remembering Australia especially the sound of birds in the background. keep up the good work.

I live in the US, in area of Minnesota which can go to -45 F or -42.78 C. I grow mine in a pot, that I keep indoors all year long. It grows very well and I don't water it often to prevent it from dying of over watering. It gets larger every year. I had to buy it the first piece online, because where I live it's not sold. Almost forgot, I keep in a room that gets a lot of sun year round.

I started mine from some old wilted peices my mom was tossing out. I keep 3 window boxes, to rotate my harvests. Mine never completely die back, in Florida. I just harvest when I'm ready, and always have plenty to share. And mine have purple flowers, not yellow. Happy growing! Thanks, great videos!

ABSOLUTELY RELAXING GARDENING TIPS TRUE AUZZIE SPIRIT STRAIGHT DOWN THE LINE

I love watching you're gardening show. I've been growing Tumeric for a while now. Last year, I remembered a trick my Dad used for storage. I have found storing it in the fridge it will eventually dry out. So my Dad used to get a bucket of sand from the beach. Wash it and let it dry completely. I now use this method to store all my Ginger, Garlic and Tumeric. It stays as fresh as the day you picked it. :)

The leaves are edible . We use it in our cooking. Especially in beef, chicken or mutton rendang. Very delicious👍😋

If not too much ultraviolet sunshine ( like summers in Oz) the bird netting will last 2 to 3 summers.

Thank you so much for this! I was just discussing with my sister about growing tumeric! Now I have to watch your videos on preparation and using it!

Mark I just found your channel a week ago and I have to tell you I have learned so much from you. I love turmeric and I definitely will be growing some. Thank you!

One thing that I'v found from farming is adding charcoal to the garden bed. One square inch of biochar has a surface area equivalent to that of a football field. It is excellent for storage and available nutrition and helps store carbon in the soil. Traditionally garbage was burnt and buried and those areas became more fertile and so became the garden bed areas. A combination of biochar and compost can help improve any garden in my opinion.

What beautiful plants! They would have to come indoors for the winter where I live but I love growing new things.

Thanks, Mark! Love every one of your videos! Watching these in Southern Oregon. Learning loads, thank you!

Mate it's because of your vids I have branched out and started to grow these weird plants in my veg garden. Thanks for all the info you put out there. Plain and simple no crap info. Nice.

Hello from Germany! Your videos have been a real inspiration for me for a while now, and as we will get our house back from our tenants today (we need to renovate for some years, though, first), which has a huge garden, I will try out some of your videos in the future!

So I planted my little root in a ceramic pot. We have great soil here and I am pretty good with gardening so I am praying and hoping for the best. Turmeric is so good. I also will attempt to grow ginger too. Stay safe and healthy everyone! 🌞🙏🏼🌸☮️

I keep looking for a crock in the yard lol !! I use course sand and till it into my clay soil along with a mulch from our local saw mill in early spring. Makes a huge difference, also I have peach trees on the West side of the garden to keep the plants from baking all day in the sun. My railroad ties stacked around the garden helps keep out pest, knocks down the wind, and keeps the sun out on the West side. I bury my left over veggies about a foot down, this really brings on the red worms. Which enriches the soil. Often I use cut firewood logs along the south side of my garden rows to keep the sun from overheating and drying out the soil. Happy gardening and lets grow.

You're the most wholesome gardener on KZread.

Thanks again Mark. Just learned about the health benefits of turmeric and will try to grow some in the greenhouse this year. And where was my starting point? You, of course!

I didn't know how beautiful and lush the plant is. Gorgeous flowers, like some ornamental gingers. We grow ginger in our greenhouse, and it lives over winter. Our winter is long and cold (often negative 20F), but the greenhouse does not freeze. I'm going to try turmeric, even though it's tropical. Some tender plants don't overwinter, even in there. Mango started, but didn't make it. Others do... we grow and harvest lemons, have three+ year old tomatoes and herbs, and recently got a banana corm that is growing well, so we'll see how that does.

In my country the farmer will harvest when the colour changes into deep orange, i see you harvest when it's still pale, actually harvest when its colour turn orange will reduce the amount of consumption because it condensed more flavour and less of bitter taste, also it has more beautiful colour, maybe it's just a story from my country it would be nice if you'll have a try, happy gardening!:)
