Hello Blurtters,
Planting of this may seems so different from what you normally see around the farm. This is because people do not cultivate this at all. It is not your common type of crops you see in garden,farm or anywhere. This is why you always need to come out with new improvement and better farming skills and understanding to prove that you know what exactly you do and always.
For any type of farming you do as individual farmers you need to explain how you get into it so as for other people to seek more knowledge and wisdom likewise skills and techniques which can be acquired from what you have expose through your vlogging or through your article writing. This is very important because when you attract a lot of people and they try to learn you must be able to stand out to whichever question they ask, so as for them to relate with it. Plant planting off ginger is not too common in our environment even in our state but there is nothing impossible and as human being we are always at a better side of trying. When you keep trying during both season of planting, then you will know what type of crop to plant and how to go about it. Planting is never an easy task I know why I said this but this is because I have made several planting of different seed without responds but nevertheless I kept on trying my best to the result was positive. So when you give up as a farmer it does not work that way unless you get on to the right track. There are some pictures I took to show us the progress of our the planting was done.
- This is the ginger that you normally see around in market Street market or local market. I said Street market because some people who actually push hand truck around to sell this type of ingredients. Ingredients of so many things, fried rice, juice, and many more.
What i did was that I went into the market deeply because of this and I saw the right type. That is why everything you do as a farmer has it on prices. The nature of where I got it was extremely far but I did not look at the rough road but they end of the road was what was on my mind. After I got them I went back to the farm and here they are. This is how they look like.
For once I never thought of planting this at all. But when you seems to be creative in ideas, you are also Born to face more planting challenges and skills.
What I really took note before I bought all this was that there is a little secret which I will reveal here and now. When you are dealing with this type of root crop. You need to ensure that it has more of the swollen edges. Or you can call it knuckle edges. This is to ensure that your root crop will definitely germinate.
HOW TO GET STARTED.
- First and foremost you need to also take not that you need organic manure to start with. For every plant you want to cultivate you need a master plan that is the secret. You will always have something to boost your plant as it grows. So I always use organic manure, Either poultry droppings or cow dunk or rabbit droppings. Either of the three works well.
This was where I intended to plant the ginger roots. Your own case you can plant it anywhere you are comfortable with. So I used the mobile seedbed sack to plant it. And it is also expose to more creative skills.
- After the mixture of the Organic manure and soil was done thoroughly and properly I left it for a while for reaction to take place. Thereafter I proceeded, I placed the ginger root facing up and the knuckles and facing down and also up. This is to ensure that the ginger is in contact with the soil properly so as for it not to get spoilt or dead after some few days.
All these steps are very valid and also they makes more utilization of the soil and planted root for easy cultivation and germination.
- After I make sure that the Ginger Root was totally buried into the soil. Now I also covered it with the top soil slightly. So that there will be no too much direct contact of sun into the soil.
This was after planting the Ginger Root.
