I grew a piece of ginger in a pot over summer in central Victoria and the stem grew to over a metre tall. I fed it weekly with fresh worm farm leachate and have yet to harvest it, as it is currently growing frost free in the greenhouse. I think harvesting anything bigger than your original piece you planted is a bonus :)

Hi Richard. I got mine origonally from Green Harvest here in Australia, www.greenharvest.com.au/Plants/GingerAndSpices.html#Galangal You can also pick it up from Asian green grocers as well. Whereabouts do you live? Cheers.

G'Day Rob, I live in Cowra, we have a Harris Farm store in Bathurst and Orange but their galangal was pretty dry and they only had 1, will check next time we are over that way. You seem to grow them well in root pouches. Thanks mate and keep them great videos coming.

Can you please tell me if you can pack ginger planting material by vacuum packaging for long distance transportation? Can they be used later as planting material?

I'm not really sure to tell you the truth. If they're being imported to your country they may be treated which might stop them from sprouting. Best way to check is to plant some out & see how you go I'd say. Hope you get some to sprout. 👍🌱🌱

Hi there again. I misread this question when I answered before, sorry about that. If it's ginger that you know will sprout, I don't think vacuum sealing it for transport would cause it not to sprout once it arrived at it's destination. I do know that some countries will irradiate food that's being imported & that may be an issue with it if that's the case. Hope that helps some.

We use Ginger a lot in our cooking. How many plants should I grow in order to have a sufficient amount through out the year?

Bit hard to say sorry. I grow 10+ here & still run out some years. I also give a fair bit away at harvest time as well though.... Happy growing.

I've nevr tried to juice them but have seen them used in recipes Jovan.

What can you save to cook with was it the roots or the green tops?

The rhizome/root is where all the flavour is at. The greens are used by some though to flavour teas & rice.

Hi Rob, do you harvest giant ginger after it flowers? I've grown ginger for the for the first time this year and the plants are sending up flowers ATM. I got the rhizome from a reputable online plant shop in SEQ so in sure I've not inadvertently picked up an ornamental. Nobody seems to mention the flowering part of the growth cycle. To my untrained eye the plants seem to be starting the transition to 'young' old ginger, which seems to be the second of three harvests for farmers. The plants are about 6 months' past sowing in Brisbane. Cheers!

Hi Andrew. I'm filming a ginger update today as it happens. 😉 They do set flowers but they're not very spectacular like the turmeric. I like to harvest when the plants start to die back & quite often wait for all the foliage to wilt first. For us out here at Ipswich the plant will generally hold on until about July/August but have had some last out until September in a warmish spot. Hope that helps some mate.

How long does ginger take to harvest?.

@@doraleejoseph2744 That depends on your climate. It starts to die back here after about 9-10 months here. We're in the subtropics BTW. 👍👍

Hello Rob, I am planting ginger first time. May I know if the gingers are expose to sunlight or not? I used coco peat on top, is it ok? Is it good water the plants everyday or every other day? I appreciated all your videos...

Hi, what type of soil does ginger need?

@RobsAquaponics

4 жыл бұрын

Free draining, with a decent amount of organic matter that will hep feed the plants KK. I prefer to use compost where possible as my added organics.

I grew some, but I don’t know when it is time to harvest. How do I know it is finished growing?

The plant starts to die back but in saying that you can harvest some rhizome while the plant is growing. Just not too much as it may stunt the plant.
