Optimal Soil for Sprouting Ginger

While it is fun and deeply satisfying to make your own mix, it’s also easy and inexpensive. If you want to keep life super simple and inexpensive, here’s the strategy: find any organic potting mix and add some of our organic granular fertilizer to it. You’ll find extensive application instructions with each package.

We also share the potting mix we use on our farm here in 20-quart bags. We use it for sprouting and potting up all our seedlings as well as our ginger. If you’re local and would like it in greater quantity, let us know and you can stop by on weekends in April and May, between 10 and 2, to pick it up!


We love to share what we love... and we love Ginger & Turmeric! And Friends, while this course is focused on Ginger, much the same site choice, planting, and basic care considerations are true for Turmeric!

To help set you up for success...

You'll find gorgeous Ginger & Turmeric rhizomes listed here each year in early Winter.

Fruition's Grow Your Own Ginger starter kit includes seed ginger, a heat mat, & ginger fertilizer too.

Start your ginger & turmeric earlier with great grow-lights or excellent southern sun exposure.

And don't forget the fertility... Our specially blended Organic Ginger & Turmeric Fertilizer has diverse amendments to feed both our soil and our ginger & turmeric.
