Nice…
Nice and informative video! You mentioned colder climates, but how much colder?
I don't really have Ginger in my diet – but I have heard about it's benefits – especially over the last several years. It is interesting. I do like your raised beds – like I told you before, and the convenience of them – especially being able to stand and plant – but is there another reason why you have beds instead of planting direct in the ground? Is it to limit the number of creepy crawlies? LOL! You are going to laugh – but when I saw you digging in the mulch/dirt – I thought – he is not wearing gloves – what if he runs into a big spider! I especially loved the ginger chick!!
The Ginger chick, great add in to the video.
I love ginger tea. I just chop up enough for a cuppa and pour hot water in…nice. I tried to grow some here in Adelaide and no luck yet. I will keep trying till I get one going.
Hey Mark..nice job on the video! Keep posting more!
Great video! Thanks for sharing. Check out this video on How to plant ginger in a food forest http://youtu.be/yAZH_M5GnXk
Hello Mark,
I am in Japan and at the moment I'm building a 10m by 30m greenhouse to house an aquaponic system, it has been slow work with little old me on my tod, doing it. Like you I am ex military (RAF). Anyway, I have been doing a lot of construction, but trying not to miss out, I have some planted outside of the greenhouse, and this year I thought I would give ginger a bash as I often see it showing nodes about to burst fourth, I have two varieties going, the first was from Cost co, yes the American warehouse style shops and they came up well and then I have the Asian delicate variety, that doesn't have the punch, that has been a little slow coming up.
Question, Japan freezes and gets a winter unlike Queensland, putting on an extra layer doesn't count;) as a winter, do you think I can leave the tubers in the ground all year?
Also what type of ginger will yield the Ginger chick, as I saw the picture and you do mention quail and chicken bedding, is this Bush Turkey ginger:) ?
Cheers Dale.
Excellent !
I bought instruction from woodprix and I build it very very cheap.
