Ginger Masterclass: Plant Once, Harvest Forever!

About a month ago I found a shrivelled up ginger rhizome that I pulled up about a year ago and didn't use all of, but I thought I'd try growing it again. Didn't even soak it, just put it in some nice compost and put it indoors next to a sunny window. It's already about a metre tall with four stems. So the moral of the story is, even if you don't do everything right, the chances are it may still grow nicely.

Thank you for the interview with a ginger expert! Far too many "masterclass" type videos are just "here's what I found on Google summarized" rather than actually coming from experienced sources!

Watching these videos just make me will to move away from big cities and live closer to nature.

I’ve had ups and downs, trying to grow/re-grow ginger. Out of my many attempts, I’ve gotten it to grow a couple times, this makes me want to try again!

Thank you Ben. After about 6 attempts at growing my own ginger i tried once more after watching this video. My ginger is now growing well in the uk winter . Best wishes Wendy

FIRST plant I ever grew was a ginger plant from a scrap of leftover ginger. Stuck it in a pot of garden soil and put it on the kitchen window (not much light) grew to top of the 4ft high window and curved along the top. Had a great scent as well. Going to try again for sure. Great video!

You have no idea how inspiring your videos are. Thank you for all the info that you share , love your energy ❤

A master class in ginger! You really can't ask for more in a tutorial. Excellent work! Thank you!

i keep my ginger near the shower it's nice and moist and warm on a regular basis and It just loves it in there!

Oh, the freezing and grating is genius! Thanks for that!

in australia i had to chop overgrowing gingers away and one species flowers were filled with kind of a soapy water and you could use it as natural shampoo - best my hair ever felt! that was amazing

I’ve been learning so much from you. My gardening has has gone from a bad 2 to a solid 8 I’d say since finding your channel. Thank you

this is my first year growing ginger, now i'm even more excited. great video

I wish I could get a job where all I did each day was take care of my garden, take care of my animals, and build and maintain my own home, sadly living free is too expensive, even though it is literally free, thanks for the amazing video.

Howdy, Ben! That was a cool road trip. 👍 And as always, you've made a great tutorial. 👍Thanks for the cool tip on freezing ginger before grating. I grow turmeric as well as ginger and didn't know turmeric is a form of ginger...cool!😃 One should know you can overwinter your ginger and turmeric by wrapping the pieces you wish to grow in newspaper or just leaving them out on the counter in my case. They will spring to life when potted up! Also, in hotter regions, you may want to plant smaller pieces. In Central Texas, we get plenty of heat and a long growing season, so my plants spread a lot in their pots. Thanks, Ben and crew!💕

I’m so excited to grow ginger AND turmeric this year! It helps me so much through cold and flu season. Love ginger shots 👍

I'm totally growing ginger and garlic in 2024. You blew my mind with the freezing and grating tip! Also I didn't realise you could grate with the skin on - that's going to save me a lot of time. I always use ginger, garlic and turmeric in a vegan version of keema aloo, so looking forward to trying that dish with home grown ingredients!

I'm Asian, Malaysian actually. I have several types of ginger, galangal and tumeric. Currently ready to get another variety, it has fragrant rhizome that our people use to make ulam (kinda like salad)

I brought some ginger home from the organic food store with the intention of growing it to put into herbal tea. I was hoping it was an exotic orchid like plant and couldn't believe the wild-grass-like stem and if I didn't see the sprout on the rhizome that produced the "grass" I wouldn't believe it! The grass has a lovely ginger smell!

Wow, growing ginger isn't as tricky as I thought, and the freeze-and-grate-idea is a life saver in dealing with a chonker of a ginger root! You have me convinced, I'm gonna go for it next season!
