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?
Luke: "ginger is a root!"
Me: rapid typing noises
Ginger is NOT a root! It's a rhizome, a type of underground STEM. If you pull up a growing ginger plant you can see its true roots which are thin and stringy just like any other plant. Furthermore, the "stems" aren't really stems, they're pseudostems which are many tightly bound leaves evolved to serve the purpose of stems. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.
Would love information on how to overwinter ginger in the colder winter climes.
Ginger is a rhizome, not a root. I though Luke would have known this.
Wondering if I missed the follow up to planting garlic in the spring after keeping in the freezer for 4 weeks and then fridge for 1 week. Is it okay to plant now? When will it be ready for harvest? Thanks!
Good video Luke! I'm going to grow some ginger!
Dude congrats on over 1 milllion subs thats awesome!
Luke, do you have any recommendations for how, if possible, to keep harvested rhizomes dormant through the winter in order to perpetuate my own supply?
i will stay with our local wild ginger, grows in heavy clay soil. never need to water, grows in the woods.
I just started my first ever ginger eyes on wet paper towel and find this! The eyes perked up in a couple of days, and I’m planning on overwintering indoors, like my orange tree. So container, definitely. Good to know I can expect a good harvest in 2023!
i sent this to my short redheaded friend
Great information i will try this mathed
Not sure why I felt intimidated to grow ginger. Can’t wait to grow in my sterilite self watering tub. Thank you for showing us how easy it is
I am wondering being the ginger grows horizontally, how deep does the container have to be? Thank You.
I live in mountain village where weather is cold with average temperature of 13-16 °C.
Ginger can't be cultivated here due to such climatic conditions.
Sir, What is the reason behind it?
Thank you so much for making this video! I just started some ginger and shared some growing with some friends. This video is super helpful! Very excited to grow our own ginger this year!
Dude! I love your videos, however your "complete guides" are not really "complete"… They're more like, "how to plant…"
The ginger available in our grocery stores are all sprayed to keep the growth points from growing. So how can I find ginger I could grow?
Thank you so much!!!
I started some ginger inside a few months ago, it is about a foot tall. I've been working on hardening it off. Zone 5b
Omgosh SO excited for this video!! I love ginger and really hoped to someday grow it myself.
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.
Love your enthusiasm and your vids!
Here we have a perfect example of a youtuber who doesn't know how to grow ginger properly.
Cool, i just bought some last week and was staring at it on my counter not knowing what to do with it.
Thanks a lot. Ginger is really healthy.
Maybe you can do flat leaf parsley sometime, and elaborate on its health benefits.
