Ginger is a root-tuber plant, and its requirements for soil are not strict. The soil can be planted with pastoral soil mixed with nutrient soil.
If planting ginger at home means that the soil is loose and the air permeability is better, you should find a large container, because the yield of ginger is relatively high and a lot of roots will grow. If there is no large container, just use a foam box.
If ginger is planted in a large area, the soil must be deep, breathable, fertile and rich in organic matter, especially sandy loam, loam and clay loam with strong water and fertility conservation.
Ginger planting soil
Ginger is suitable for planting in fertile, loose loam or sandy loam with good drainage performance, and can also be planted in slightly acidic soil, but its growth in alkaline soil is limited, which affects the growth of ginger in the later stage.
The choice of soil quality affects the growth of ginger, providing it with sandy soil. The grown ginger has a strong spicy taste and a strong fragrance, but the yield is not high, which is suitable for drying and making dried ginger.
If you provide sticky soil with a lot of humus, the ginger will be very tender and contain more water, so you can harvest fresh ginger and sell it as a vegetable. If the soil is too sticky and heavy, the phenomenon of water accumulation will be very serious, which will lead to poor growth of ginger in it and problems in harvest.
Ginger soil mixing method
When ginger is mixed with soil, you can use the soil mixed with humus soil, garden soil and sand, or you can add a small amount of decomposed manure to the soil and plant ginger after mixing. In addition, when ginger is growing vigorously, you should apply thin decomposed cake fertilizer water every15 ~ 20 days, or organic fertilizer that is decomposed when buying.
