In this video, I show you how to grow ginger in containers from store-bought ginger roots. I take you through selecting the ginger rhizomes from the store, the importance of soaking the ginger before planting, right through to maintenance of the ginger plant and then harvesting showing my container ginger harvest in real time.

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂

G'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'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'll be trying to answer/acknowledge as many comments as I can over the next few days. Cheers 🙂
Bless you
Thanks for the informative video! However, I would like to ask if I can grow this plant indoors in a pot all year around without harvesting It all?
Fresh ginger tea and eating the used up portions afterwards seems to help me with sinus congestion.
Thanks mate
I did enjoy this. Thank you😊
I dont know what kind of Makrtr he's been to but the price for ginger in UK is this:
Ginger is between US$ 3.55 and US$ 3.71 per kilogram or between US$ 1.61 and US$ 1.68 per pound(lb). The price in British pound sterling is GBP 2.56 per kg.
Why does half the final result look store bought
I am shocked that ginger is so expensive in Australia.. I pay like 9$ per kg of organic ginger here o.o
❤❤❤❤ Iive for ginger and garlic.
3:15 For sneeze
I don't agree on the light exposure too much, ginger prefer shade and can suffer from direct sunlight for too many hours.
It's not worth it. Spending soil, fertilizer, and water for more than 8 months to grow a few pounds of ginger.
good tips very interesting
G'day mate. Fancy anotha shrimp on tha barby, do ya? Crikey!
Many thanks and multiple 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍. I just harvested a little of the ginger I planted many months ago and it is beautiful and now in the biryani. I’ll leave the rest to develop but had to acknowledge your great advice!
Some good info Mark. Thanks
I live in Poland and think growing ginger would perfectly fit my crazy Polish guavas&citrus&bananas&palms&etc plantation. Thank you for sharing this inspirational video!
PS excellent video but for those in a cold climate N Europe a few added tims.
Also after soaking drying and then cutting when you plant Then soak soil but afterwards do Not water unless bone dry for 2 weeks and also have it above the radiator so soil is 25 degrees plus.
NB also watch out for neutered or irradiated ginger !
I love this dude reminds me of General Maximus from gladiator movie but now he is in Elysium growing Ginger ❤
Just about to plant my store brought ginger first time ever here goes lol
Great vid btw thankyou for information from uk
Can u use the actual plant and stems of the ginger can u make tea out of it or anything?
I’m so glad Alex Jones finally found his path.
