LOTS HELP HOW TO GROW TURMERRIC THAKS

Thank You for the wonderful video.

Hi Rob... I live in Florida USA zone 9b. We are considered sub-tropical with very little chance of frost. If I were to use turmeric as a landscape plant, what soil amendments would you recommend for our very sandy, infertile dirt here? Thanks! --Tim

Nice video, you got my subscription mate.

I was wondering if planting turmeric in a container such as a tub do you need drain holes or can you put sand in the bottom then soil on top, then plant.

Thanks mate - great video

I planted mine at 10- 15 cm had 2 sprout within a 14 days the last one finally sprouted at week 4 . I think I planted mine way too low, but I had huge mothers.

So much great info! Thanks Rob!

Bloody hell, Rob, is there anything you don't know??? Love these videos, finding them very helpful as I am a keen gardener trying to grow an edible pantry, but live in a family of people who can't grow plants for shit and know nothing!!!

thank you very informative

Your awesome Rob, I am going to give this a try!!

I planted store bought turmeric and it didn't sprout. Then I purchased a ginger plant and put it in the turmeric pot. After planting the ginger, the turmeric sprouted. Can I leave them together?

Fantastic info. Thank you. How do you reckon they'd do in south east England?

huge help!...good one!

Hey Rob, I really wanna try growing this and hopefully I will. I was just wondering anyway, where do you get most of your barrels from. I'd love to get some for my garden they seem really practical but I don't know where to find any. Thanks :)

First year planting ginger, galangal and turmeric. It's growing in a raised bed and black containers. Will they survive if I leave them outside during winter in zone8a?

When would it be ideal to start these? I'm in Northern CA right now and it's beginning to get cold. Is this a bad time?

Thanks!

Your owe some sir

Hi Rob, I bought some organic Tumeric root on Ebay. They sent me just Root fingers. Can these be planted?
