  G&apos;day Everyone, I hope you are all doing well! Even though we do have a few acres, I still love growing in containers and it&apos;s amazing how much you can grow in a small space. Every little bit helps especially during periods like this when food prices are rising. All the best and thanks for your support. I&apos;ll be trying to answer/acknowledge as many comments as I can over the next few days.

  I love how you so rarely do &quot;And we&apos;ll see what happens when it&apos;s done!&quot; No. You wait until it IS done, and then post the video. LOVE that. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Although I imagine it makes content creation a little tricky. &quot;Okay... today I need to film another chunk for videos 1, 2, and 7...&quot;

  An asian lady on yt had a trick she used: you leave the ginger without water together with a quarter of an onion in pieces in an airtight container a few days. (Bc like potatoes, the eyes will start developing shoots fast in company of onion.) Then divide into small pieces each with a shoot, and plant in pot. Speedier and less risk to the rhisomes.

  Hello Mark! I’m a 71 year old gardener and just started growing ginger. I had a decent amount last season but decided to start early this year indoors. I’m in northeast Ohio so it gets downright frigid here. -2. Deg. F last night. I started some in a hanging basket in of all places my bathroom. Using a grow light. Seems it likes the humidity of the shower as it is growing like crazy! I love watching you as I learn something new each time. Growing crops keeps my mind off my multiple myeloma pain. I’m trying to set my wife and grown kids up for when I am not around to do it! I look foreward to your channel! God speed and grow lots!!!!

  Notes for personal use;<br>- buy ginger w eyes/ nodes, organic might work best<br>- soak for 24 hrs<br>- plant in large container, premium soil, bury not too deep, grows sideways, helps to break into smaller peices <br>- don’t water too much in early days bc susceptible to rotting. Prevent soil from totally drying out<br>- maybe use humidy some? Unsure<br>- slow to sprout <br>- likes a lot of water once it’s sprouted. But don’t let it sit in soggy water. (He waters every day in summer once sprouted) <br>- likes a lot of sun

  As a fellow SE Qlder, I have had success after watching videos from Hawaii. &nbsp;The main tip I learnt, plant in a half empty pot, when ginger root, shows through, put another inch of potting mix on top, when it shows through again, put another inch of mix on top. The root multiples upwards, so keep adding mix.

  Pro Tip: &nbsp;FREEZE IT! &nbsp;You can make ginger last a LONG TIME by just freezing what you don&apos;t use of what you buy or grow. Each time you need some for a recipe, go to your plastic bag of ginger in the freezer and cut off a piece. &nbsp;This way none of it goes to waste. However the &nbsp;just picked young ginger is perfect for making pickled ginger for sushi. &nbsp;To make it pink either use the traditional purple Perilla (Shiso) leaves OR use &nbsp;some fresh beet root.

  If breaking the ginger apart, I find it best to let it heal or harden the fresh spot before planting in the ground. If planted with the wound still fresh, the chances of rot seem to increase a lot.

  I did this when I lived in south Louisiana (USA). The small piece of store-bought ginger grew so well it distorted the plastic pot I grew it in. Definitely worth doing.

  Thank you gor a great video. Im from Botswana Southern Africa. &nbsp;Ginger is very expensive here. Ive started a few years ago to plant my own ginger and tumeric, al year around. I&apos;m giving growing plants to family and friends around me to start their own, and promoting the use of them to stay healthy. Thanks for all your videos. Keep it up, Im looking forward to the next and next videos.

  I’m in the UK. I found a piece of ginger in my pantry, which had fallen into the bottom basket of my veggie rack. I just cut it into a couple of pieces and planted it. Put it in the greenhouse to see what would happen. So far it’s growing very well. 🙂🤞🏻
