Lots of great tips Rob - we don't have any trouble growing turmeric either but you do have to abide by everything you said to grow a good crop. Cheers :)

I had things to do this morning, but now I’m watching this and after that I’m going to your main channel, and I’m not a bit sorry. Thank you for this tutorial, you have an excellent way of making everything sound simple and stress-free!

Thank you, Rob. I planted a ginger rhizome a decade before I planted turmeric.. the ginger came back up after going to ground each year, but never increased in size.. I realised, after that decade, that ginger needs both heat and moisture.. :) That detail became to obvious when our first wicking bed ginger harvest was laid out on the verandah.. Spectacular :) Meanwhile, the turmeric has long been thriving, and it's now in shady, well mulched areas throughout the garden.. No wicking beds needed for that one, but we were having lots of rain during that time.. I'm going to watch your turmeric preserving video now :D Thank you.

Thank you from Canada🇨🇦

I bought turmeric from Whole Foods and they grew fine. I found they sprout much faster the hotter the soil temp is.

Excellent! Thank you. The more people who grow their own herbs and food and get back to basics, the less illness they will suffer. I give this to my dogs daily. We grow organically, win win. Cant wait to get it growing. We need a glass house probably. or 2 panes of glass and a couple pallet boards. Thanks again. Great to get local aussie info.

Brilliant advice, thank you for going into so much detail and addressing everyone around the globe! Greetings from Ipswich UK :)

Wow I did not know the TUMERIC has VERYVERY beautiful flowers.i will surely try to plant in pots. Thanks for sharing

Oh god those flower !! We eat that. Most fav food😜

Great! I could listen to you all day long!

OMG tumeric is a gorgeous plant and flowers...I'm going to get me some organic tumeric..

I am zone 5 b . I grow ginger and turmeric in an unheated greenhouse. I get 6 to 7 months of growing time but start my ginger and turmeric in the house in flats and under heat lamps.

I started mine, that I got in the mail from an organic grower, in my worm bed( red wigglers) they sprouted well. Then I transplanted them to a large pot.

Another excellent video which told me all I needed to grow turmeric even though I'm in the UK.

Jeez! I'm fair tuckered trying to keep up with your narration. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. You are very articulate and obviously knowlegable about your subject. I love to see and hear people who are so passionate about anything. Thank you!

Just started my turmeric growing in my kitchen shooting well there 10 inches long after 6 weeks Thanks for the tips will plant them out in the spring 👍

We make pickle with yellow one. It is called mango ginger in India

Thanks for making this video. I'm in Arizona and our weather is very similar *only in opposite order* I'm going to be trying my hand at Turmeric and Ginger for the first time, so fingers crossed for a good harvest!

Hi, great clip, I have had good success growing turmeric in old fridges & dishwashers as the beds, a bit easier to set up than wiccian beds & a lot cheaper, just thought i'd share, cheers. Brian

I like what you have been doing with tumtec

I started one in the heart of winter (January?) here in Finland. Planted it in surface soil of a small pot inside and it sprouted in April as the weather got warmer. Now the sproutsa re about 20 cm and I am replanting in a bigger pot (outside is still below freezing at night), moving to the terrace (heated at night and thinking of keeping the plant outside June-August and then either harvesting or moving it inside to wait for a harvest. Good tip to add heat retaining structures next to it, maybe a good pile of tiles :)

I love your accent! It makes you sound intelligent, knowledgeable and wise. You are an excellent teacher and very thorough. Thank you for a very well-thought-out lesson on turmeric.

Good bloke, and it's great to get info from the southern hemisphere for a change... Hi from South Africa ;-)

Great advise. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for the tips. Australia cold winter mountain region and my plant first year flowering, been in the ground for 3 years.

You can eat the baby turmeric leaf .....just finely chop the leaf and put into your fish curry or seafood while cooking them...it's so flavorful ....you can use the big leaf too....if you are grilling fish ..cover the fish with one or two big leaf depending on how big the fish is...

Wow Rob! That was a lot more tips than I thought there would be! Well done sir! I give this video a green thumbs up!

🌈ThankYou You answered all questions

TY TY TY

I grow ginger tumeric and galangal in upstate NY . I start them in February in the house then plant out into my unheated tunnels in May. I sell at the local farmers market

Thanks for this info video. I have been wanting to grow turmeric. I'm in Norther California. This has helped a lot.

you are a garden god!

my pumpkin has died back giving my turmeric and ginger some extra warmth..i feel i should leave the pumpkin vine on the bed to decompose to help the turmeric with nutrients. great clip. thanks for thinking of us in the south.

We respect you guy, respecting all farmer your hand should be hot handshake

50 seconds into this video and I'm mesmerized by how expressive your face is! Now to finish watching the video :) Thank you for the info.

Planting if for the first time, thanks for the info

Just found you whilst looking for a video about growing Tumeric in England. You're the best I've found. I buy it from an organic box delivery company but not had any luck growing it yet or ginger. I'll give it another go and follow your advice. I eat a piece raw after scraping the skin off if I have a painful tummy from diverticulitis and the pain goes away after about half an hour. I got that tip from a doctor who uses alternative methods. I'm hoping to cure myself with organic kefir and probiotics but in the meantime turmeric is better than pain meds. Thank you and much love.❤️

Thanks for all your advise, I am a organic gardener in Redlands, I have processed my first lot of Turmeric thanks to you!!,I am also interested in wicking beds and aquaponics, so I will keep watching! I have a few u-tubers in Queensland but would love to have more if u can post their contacts on u-tube

I'm watching from Africa and like it here....

I appreciate the educational material for gardening turmeric and look forward to having some plants growing.

This is great! Thanks Rob! I shared this with a friend in N.California who takes turmeric & I feel she could benefit even more from fresh!

Thanks Rob....here in India the leaf is used as a flavouring for a rice and coconut sweet.

Thank you so much Rob for looking into this for me....Thanks Carol O'Buck

I just harvested mine cuz all the leaves looked dead n I thought I overwatered......... apparently they were doing their thing n I got a nice lil harvest😍 Thanks! N Happy New Year!

I've heard so much about the health benefits of tumeric I'm giving it a go. It gets a tad nippy in Blighty but following these instructions I reckon they'll be fine.

Thank you. Very very helpful

Thanks Rob. Here Turmeric is very expensive. Will let you know once I am up and going. My aim is Turmeric, Garlic and Ginger Thanks again. Blessings

Thanks for the tips! I started growing ginger this year in containers, but now I think I'll try growing turmeric. I'm in the USA zone 7.

I love turmeric. Ill definitely try it! Please see how Im growing bean sprouts indoor! Thanks!

Very 👍

Well, here we go Rob Bob. If I get one to grow (from the supermarket) that would be something. If not, as you say I'll go to an organic grower.Great video.Thanks so much., Rob.

Spectacular, Sir!!! Thank you Kindly!!! Bless You!!!💟😊🍃

Thanks for the tips. I'm going to try growing some in my greenhouse.

This is the most helpful video I have reviewed a very big thank you to you Rob. It's autumn time here in Perth so I might kick some off in a few lack pots as you suggested

Turmeric leaves can be cooked as well with Asian curries very nice flavour

Hi rob....im from indonesia...thanks for u videos.i like to learn a lot from u🤗

LOTS HELP HOW TO GROW TURMERRIC THAKS

Very wholesome video. Congratulations! Thubm up, many times!!

i love gardening and now right a way to my field here in Kenya to try turmeric but ginger failed me. be blessed Rob

I still don't understand how anyone dislikes ur videos, some people must have horrible lives haha. I have learned a ton from your videos, thanks for sharing

Black containers may be good in cold areas. But in the hot summer with low relative humidity here in Corvallis, Oregon, you would like to avoid black plastic pots. If you only have black plastic pots, you may want to block any direct sunlight shinning onto the surface of the pots cause it will heat up your pot to over 120F (at least 45 C). No plants can survive except for desert plants.

Thanks Rob Bob!! Perfect... just the bits of info I needed. Well done, Sir!

Rob... so excited to have had my turmeric and ginger pop their shoots out of their home for the first month. Very exciting. Thanks for the inspiration. After spending a good month looking online for unsprayed seed root, I opted for organic root from the market. They germinated at nearly the same rate. Off by a single day between the turmeric and the ginger

Thx Rob, this is my first time trying it out and your video is very encouraging.💚

7 years ago ❤ I’m a New Subscriber I’ve got a lot of content to catch up on 👍

Thanks Rob for the great information. Ill be growing tumeric up here in zone 6A this year in containers. I love how big yours are. Because we do get a freeze, it will be bought in over winter and hopefully will be able to harvest some around Oct. Nov. I grew ginger last season with great success in containers so looking forward to trying this great herb. On a side note, I have been downunder a handful of times over the years (traveled the Gold Coast down to Melbourne)and the people are so cheerful and wonderful. You by far have such a positive energy about you. Much appreciated and thanks for sharing. Cheers mate.

Thank you.

Don't forget us here in the Caribbean, St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands.

As always great to watch! Down here in Victor Harbor, SA, we could sometimes be counted as cool climate, I have turmeric in both wicking beds and aquaponics that has done ok for its first year, but might move them into my greenhouse over winter. Although, I am now constructing a second aquaponics area inside a new greenhouse, this should broaden the stuff I can grow and eat. Just have to train my bees to pollenate inside and then go back to their hives..... Cheers matey!

I didn't know that it comes that way. for some reason I though turmeric was ground seeds. Thank you for showing this, I learned some thing :)

Thanks Bob for the imformation how to plant this miracle palnt. thanks God!. I hope it will grow here in netherlands. I will try this summer. Thanks.

I am going to try and grow some indoors and put it outside when the weather warms up. Thanks for the tip Rob.

Superb info your videos

You're still the best Rob. So much information and easy to follow even for us Yanks. One question: would you ever leave part of a plant in the ground for next year and would it be any good? Thanks.

Wow wow That's a lot of tumeric

Thanks for cool climate growing tips, Rob!

Im going to give it a go on Vancouver Island. Thanks for the video Rob Bob!

This is awesome! 👏🏻 I’m in Ohio. We don’t have a long growing season but I’d love to give this a go indoors for the winter!

Thanks for the info and tips my friend. I didn't have much luck with our turmeric plants two years ago. Will give it a try again.

Howdy there Rob from the mountains of Tennessee US. I subscribed to your channel due to your aquaponics. A friend of mine four hundred miles south east(S.C. coast) was advising me to plant ginger, gongal(spelling is off), and turmeric as no one grows it here. I am a market grower and I am changing slowly from row crops to beds where they will work. The aquaponics water changes are planned to feed drip irrigation lines for the batch that is closest to the greenhouse. I have made up my mind and I am starting with koi so I will not have to heat the greenhouse as much. I am growing papaya seeds(well waiting for them to sprout) which is planned to make cuttings in the fall to over winter for spring planting as cuttings are mature enough to flower that way. Since I remembered this video, as I had youtube on auto play. Then my friend started talking to me about growing these items locally. Since I am growing for profit I need to know about weight from the crop. I am kind of in the middle between Nashville, Knoxville and Chattanooga and as my business plan is evolving I am venturing farther from home for markets. I am a farmer and I understand yeilds vary greatly but can you give me something to work with as to weight. Turmeric is $12.99 a pound. My short rows are a hundred feet long(30 meters). My idea is to split one row between ginger and turmeric by the green house which is 150 feet. A hundred and fifty pieces of turmeric is going to be pricey but then again if it works it will be a large cash crop. Thanks again for the videos, John

Just Great!. Thanks for the tips from France !

great video thanks Rob, definitely going to crack on with this come Spring. love your work

I love learning from you Mr. Rob!

Great information. So glad you mentioned using seaweed. It's a confirmation as this is the first time I planted turmeric.

So much great info! Thanks Rob!

Love this

Thank You for the wonderful video.

Your videos are very informative! I'll be trying to plant tumeric in Ohio! :)

BAR NOL 🔥 USE THIS

Thanks for the educational videos! I love your accent and teaching style. I'm growing ginger and turmeric for the first time! Cheers :)

Excellent Video. I'm in central California on the Monterey bay. zone 9 - I need to try my hand at growing this plant.

I grow tumeric in zone 5 in a high tunnel . You need to start the tumeric in early Februaryin a warm place . I grow mine in a basement under heat lamps watering as the soil drys on the top of the 6 inch pots . It is April in NY and stlll too cool for the tumeric in the high tunnels which I do not heat . The ginger tumeric and galangal beds currently are growing chinese cool weather veggies as soon as they are harvested , I will add mushroom compost bone meal and plant out the galangal and tumeric roots oh and ginger .

IM growing turmeric in my garden in Sydney winter coming up will have to cover them see if they will keep growing when spring comes

Sounds like you might be able to grow in a "dutch bucket" set up/kind of like we do tomatoes? Where the bucket is filled with perlite... and there is about a 2" amount of fluid that sits in the bottom of the bucket ..either manually or semi automatic watering system.

Thanks for the info Rob. Growing ginger now... Will try turmeric when I find some clean stuff..

thanks Rob, Great video. I have my tools for planting now!

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thank you! 🙏🏼💗

Really enjoyed this so much! Fantastic video with heaps of information. I had watched about 6 others before coming across yours and you answered every question I had about growing and harvesting turmeric that the others hadn't addressed so thanks! Subbied you too :)

thanks
