This video is mostly about eating and drinking sugar cane not so much about growing it.

I live in Redmond, Wa, zone 8b and I’m going to attempt to overwinter my purple sugarcane. It’s so exciting experimenting with overwintering tropicals!!!

We have sugercane farms In Pakistan, sugercane grows everywhere in Pakistan, we live in swat buner kpk Pakistan, it gets very cold and snow here alot,we have no problem growing sugercane here.

@JessSuave 3 года назад

Yeah you might wanna be careful with the straw. The hay and straw growers are using a lot of grazon these days and if your straw came from a field treated with it then your bales will have it. If that gets into your garden it won't stop your seeds from germinating but the damage to the plants will manifest around the 2nd or 3rd set of leaves. The plants will be stunted and unproductive and the residual lasts for years.

@inharmonywithearth9982 2 года назад

It is not biodegradable and they spray it on at harvest to kill the hay and grain nowadays ( topping) so it dries super fast because it is dying from hormone disruption. You are right it is very bad stuff and even survives to kill after going completley through a cow's entire rumen system!

@annellacannella5674 Год назад

Yes. Grazon is a scourge. It wouldn’t hurt the sugar cane of course. But it is a persistent herbicide that would affect the figs and the artichoke. Who knows what it is doing to us! Of course the company that makes it can’t be sued for damages due to high powered lawyer speak, but you can go after the poor farmer that grew the hay/straw. ……so messed up.

@realstatistician 3 месяца назад

Yikes! Any ideas for a good substitute? Would a bag of grass clippings or leaves provide the same insulation?

@namdao9359 11 месяцев назад

Thank you for your videos about growing sugarcanes in zone 7A. I am planting mines this year for the 1st time. I plant them in pots and will bring them inside during winter.

@azfarmerkobie8325 3 года назад

Split it and boil it. Also if you split it then boil it, then add a little sugar it'll all crystallize for homemade sugar

@blkxdragon 4 года назад

I’m from Louisiana. And I’ll say that the first thing you do is peel the skin off of the cane. Then chew and suck the juice out of it. It will make it easier on your juicer too if you go that route.

@michaelj3807 4 года назад

Wow can't believe you can grow cane in your zone, that's awesome! I recommend peeling the cane before chewing it. And get a manual sugar cane press, it's a lot less work than a juicer

@RossRaddi 4 года назад

Got any recommendations for a press?

@slipknot95maggot 4 года назад

All thanks to you listing it on your spreadsheet last year, I got some delicious red sugar cane this year. Got all the nodes rooting right now, I need more next year XD I'm not a drinker and I have a different kind of sugar cane so I dunno how yours tastes, but regarding your drinks, I personally thought it would go quite well with coconut or pineapple. Some kind of daiquiri or colada maybe..? I also imagine there are some wines and sakes that would go well with a cube of cane

@DTolen 4 года назад

Get more fruits and make a mexican fruit punch, sugar cane is easier to chew after boiled and it will absorb the other fruits flavor. The most traditional is to use dried plum, guava, tejocote, apple, hibiscus flower (jamaica), cinnamon sticks, and the sugar cane. Boil that in water with piloncillo or brown sugar for a while and serve it in cups, with a spoon to eat the fruit. You can also put some Brandy on it.

@TomAkers23 3 года назад

That fruit punch sounds awesome

@authenticalyssa 3 года назад

@GullahGeecheeFarmer 3 года назад

Nice I grow a few varieties here in South Carolina. Every 3 years you should replant sugarcane ration clump.

@indiewoods17 Год назад

I live just north of Toronto. I have been looking up sugarcane production and I came across your video and about 4:29 you show how dark the sugarcane liquid is. I saw on another video that from the sugarcane Leaves or the outside of the Kane was boiled down and the extract from it is molasses. That is why it’s a dark brown color. I think I am zone 5b or 5a and if I can’t grow sugarcane outside I will try it as a house plant thanks for the video❤

@realstatistician 3 месяца назад

Oh wow, why did it not occur to me to put a bale of straw over it? That’s how my neighbor grows a banana tree! Zone 7a Thank you for sharing! Also, have you ever thought about growing sweet sorghum? It is fully cold hardy and has sweet canes like sugar cane but I haven’t tried it yet.

@judgetk8327 Год назад

1:36 in. I clicked on your video for info but I didn't realize that you had no idea you were going to make a video cause if you knew you would have been ready. But I'm still here waiting for the next surprise. So put your phone down and tomorrow will be fine. 😊

@tomas5650 3 года назад

Does it mature adequately to produce sugar? I'm concerned the warm season may be a bit too short for it to fully mature/produce.

What’s the best soil for these to grow in ? I have clay soil and raised beds with potting soil . Thanks !

@Celoov 11 месяцев назад

Hi seems amazing, I gotta try it - just a quick thought about the juicing process. Wouldnt you be able to put the whole canes into big bags, with emptied out air so it has a lot of room to expand if needed, and then with ur car slowly drive back and forth over it, without making the bags pop and then filter the juices?

@Youdontknowmeson1324 Год назад

Stevia, yacon and sugar beets are good to grow too in cold climates

@Qletty 2 года назад

Just Ron, smash mint, and lime juice delicious Plus when you will start planting your fig on the soil. Don’t be afraid, just cover each one for the 3 first year after that they will handle well. Plus after the plant done fruiting and collected, collect the leaf, to make infusion for people with diabetics.

@xXxKingjonxXx Год назад

where did you get your sugar cane from? was it local or did you buy it online. I was able to cut it and put it in a cup and have it root for weeks but it didn't grow and I haven't attempted to try again since then.

@dusenj1510 3 года назад

What growing zone are you in? Do you put thick layer of hay over the cane before trapping for winterizing?

@phillipfetterman3728 11 месяцев назад

Lmao, my grand parents used to press the sugar out of our sugar cane and make Cane syrup out of it....and as a kid, I used to cut a chunk of cane and chew on it .... You can also press it, and dry it out and get pure cane sugar..... its the same you buy in the store minus the bleaching

Health Benefits of Sugarcane Juice: The antioxidants in sugarcane juice help to fighting against infections and boost the immunity system of the body. Sugarcane juice also acts a good digestive aid due to the presence of potassium. Studies show that sugarcane juice protects against tooth decay and bad breath due to its high mineral content.

@lorenbush8876 Год назад

@firstname7769 Год назад

You need to peel the outer skin/layer before chewing. Probably figure it out since this is 3 years old

@phoenixme74 Год назад

Try trimming off the outer cane if you are using a juicer. The outside is too tough to put through a juicer.

Peel the outer bark of the sugar cane with a knife. Then chew the center.

@phillipfetterman3728 11 месяцев назад

Juicing it is doing it the hard way..... buy a press instead..... far easier

@YoutubeKenny Год назад

oh damn... PLEASE get rid of the skin before you put in the juicer, add 1 orange or 3 kumquats. It will taste super good! dont put ginger. Ginger will ruin the taste and the smell of the sugar cane. Sugar cane is like any fruits, when it turns dark/purple/black then you know it's ready.

Repent of sin and trust in Jesus! Time is short!

@FreeAmerican-mm2my Год назад

Be baptized for the remission of sins.

@mattmccoy7364 Год назад

I guess the thief on the cross didn’t make it into heaven then, without baptism? Jesus saves us… trusting in him is how, not baptism. Baptism is important. But the Bible nowhere says that remission of sins takes place at baptism. It takes place when we trust in him. Otherwise, Jesus wouldn’t be able to keep that promise to the guy beside him on the cross.
