    Someone is going to give you an honorary doctorate if you keep this up, Hoocho.

  • katie wood says:

    I have been growing ginger in pots but have always struggled with keeping them moist. This is the perfect solution. Beautiful harvest!

  • Curioponics says:

    As someone who makes my own ginger ale/beer, this is definitely how I want to grow my own ginger in the future! Great episode. Edit: Had not actually come to the part where you said what you wanted to do with the ginger! Great thinking indeed.

  • Anthony D says:

    I absolutely love that we’re getting long-term start-to-result videos from you on a regular basis. One of the big limitations of a number of gardening channels is they show you a moment in time, and if you’re lucky perhaps you’ll get an update months later – but often not.

    • Hoocho says:

      I love journal articles that undertake experiments that span months and years. I’d like to get to a point where I can provide that detail of information, whilst also liberate the process into an easy to digest and entertaining video format.
      The balance of information density coupled with audio-visual plus inventive and experimental science… That’s what I want to watch.

      I want to make the videos I want to watch.

      Makes me happy you want to watch them too! 😊

    • Roger Foster says:

      @Hoocho This is currently your niche. Run with it as long as you can before others take notice and start copying you.

  • Dennis Shoemaker says:

    I can never get enough of your videos. I like all of the advice and sharing of information, mistakes and all. You are a great teacher. Excellent!

  • Janet Mary says:

    I dried my turmeric last year and it made the most fragrant spice I have ever met! So different to supermarket stuff. Just ready to harvest this year’s crop and do it again. Hope you kept some!

  • Dave Oily says:

    really cool method, just wanted to point out you can experiment with longer bags because you make your own. I don’t know how far the moisture will wick, but it’s probably longer than the bags you had originally going by the results you got. Just a thought, glad it worked out as well as it did!

  • Leanne KenYoung says:

    WOW!!! That’s massive!! What an incredible result! Congratulations on your incredible harvest!!! God bless! 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦

  • Matt Zimm says:

    The first thing that came to my mind was ginger beer! You can make a substantial amount of good gingerbeer with your harvest! Gingerbeer tastes amazing and is really effective at settling upset stomachs! Not sure who would want that much Tumeric though, suppose you have your curry needs covered for awhile 😂

  • Fowler Invitations says:

    I watched this with no clue what was happening and I LOVED IT. This is so innovative and just amazing to see the simplicity in some of this and the ingenuity!

  • Ross Fairhurst says:

    Congrats on a much better turmeric/ginger harvest than some of your earlier attempts. Kudos! You have mentioned the bulbous nodes at the end of some of the finer (non-rhizomatic) roots. You mentioned that you were looking to replant these. I would be fascinated by the outcome – my understanding is that the bulbous growths are called ‘nodules roots’ whose sole purpose is to store up nutrition/energy in the good times and release it back to the plant when resources are lean. They would not normally carry the right tissue(s) for rhizome development or vegetative growth – just the nutrients/energy. I would not normally expect them to give rise to new plants if replanted, that role falls to the ‘mothers’ and rhizome fingers. But, what the heck – give it a shot and keep us all posted.
    LOVING the creative approach you take to tweaking, tuning and generally exploring hydroponics! Have at it I say.

  • RICHARD MACKIE says:

    General question. Do you have any problem with mites on cucumbers etc. and tomatoes? If so how do you treat for them. Also how do pollinating bees get into your shade structure?
    Keep up the great videos – thank you. RM.

  • Lil Fix says:

    First video I watch on your channel, and already massively impressed with the thorough breakdown of the process and long-term results. Keep up the good work Hoocho!

  • Tony says:

    Incredible work/ research. You are literally revolutionizing the industry.

  • Sani Wada says:

    I never thought you’d be able to grow so much from so few bags, verry impressive stuff.

  • Brock Jones says:

    Hi, this video was quite informative, experiential and inspiring to watch, thank you! I want to share a couple thoughts of mine you might consider. It might be beneficial to do a nutrient flush for the plants and for the growth medium before re-using. I switched to pumice anywhere that I might have used perlite in the past and it has been way better for so many reasons and thought you might wanna consider that yourself. Thanks again for the great video.

  • Christine Offthegrid says:

    That’s incredible! I love ginger and ginger beer. I tried growing one small rhizome but it didn’t amount to much. I’m in growing zone 2b and have terrible soil, so maybe I should try just one bag of coco. Watching this I would love just one clump of what you produced. Really impressive.

  • valo tusani says:

    I live in Samoa, and this seems to be a very positive and productive way to grow vegetables. I will need to learn a bit more about your Rain Gutter Grow System and how effective it is in the tropics.
    Thank you for your very educational videos!

  • goodwind89 says:

    Thank you so much for sharing this great growing approach. For an idea on using bulk turmeric: my dad drinks a mixture of (turmeric, warm water, honey) every morning, and it has been helping him a lot with his digestive system.

  • Ozaku Ponics says:

    Amazing insights being relatively new to this entire industry. Thank you. Amazing stuff going on here at this channel. Your attention to detail is important. Located in Japan I know how the Japanese master their environment by their intense uninterrupted focus on detail, so I appreciate very much your insights.
