"Ginger" or in Latin is called Zingiber officinale which we used to use as a spice in the kitchen, it is best if planted on land that gets enough sunlight. "


"Ginger" when planted in a shady garden, can grow and seems also fertile. However, the fertile leaves cuman. Even small tuber. Though we are not the target we want to take their leaves.

So far, there is the mistaken assumption that "ginger" can grow anywhere easily, so be plugged on lands that do not hoe, will usually produce bulbs "ginger" is disappointing.


PREPARING THE SOIL.

If a piece of land on the edge of the river approximately 45 m height above sea level, create gullies as deep as 75 cm - 1 m wide 1 / 2 m, the distance between the ditches that drain the other one with 1 / 2 m in order to cause excavation on it. After that leave it open just for 2 X 3 months in order to be manure or compost gradually each time with fertilizers, do not forget to cover them with soil, so fertilizer is not damaged in vain.
If at the beginning of the rainy season will have started down the drizzling rain, the gutters have been completed earlier given fertilizer and soil, so you can guludan-guludan as high as 30 cm, which later may be stuck seed "ginger". The distance between guludan guludan another one with a minimum should be 1 m. Because the plant "ginger" can later grow to a height of 80 cm, which is usually used sebagaibibit, usually pieces of roots of residence for one or some fruit unasnya (eyes). But in seeking seed "ginger" select pieces of the greatest living roots and thick.

After planting the seeds, you do not stop to collect manure, because it is still necessary also to hoard plant later when it's as high as 15-20 cm.


HOW THE RESULT picked.

After approximately 10 months, the roots of their stay was practically fully grown (can not grow anymore). Its leaves also started to dry and that's when you can collect the results.

To unload guludan ground, preferably using a hoe or a fork so that the roots stay "ginger" is not broken. Do not harvest crops just by unplugging. Fields were normal production is 60 quintals per hectare. So if you have not been able to achieve this target, something is wrong, technically less than perfect, so still need to be repaired.

After that everything is dried on a mat rayed sun all day and evening when it's put into dry storage.

After drying for 7 days like this, usually "ginger" is already quite dry. And weighs approximately 70% of live weight of the original. However, levels of juice "ginger" There is still approximately 12% and quality is considered good, so the behavior to be sold.
