Many people think that herbal medicinal plants are very easy to find in rural areas. But the fact is in the field, when it is needed we are very difficult to get this material. This is due to several things that have happened, one of which is because people in the village are lazy to farm, they prefer to buy in the market, even though these goods contain a lot of chemicals or preservative.
So yesterday after I looked for turmeric for my father's medicine, I was called by my friend who is an agricultural student. He said he got a campus assignment to consult with several farmers. So that I too was part of the agenda. Because I do have a small plot of land behind the house that I have been working on to plant red ginger. Here red ginger is quite expensive, the price can reach 5.5 $/kg. Unlike regular ginger, it costs around 2$/kg. Because ordinary ginger is easier to obtain and many farmers grow it.
Red ginger is more expensive because it has more benefits. In addition, farmers are lazy to plant red ginger because of its small size, so that a small amount of ginger will be produced at harvest time.
We discuss about the correct ginger planting procedure. Starting from the water content in the land, how to cultivate the land, how to choose seeds and how to seed. If it is not suitable, then we will experience crop failure, and the ginger will rot.
I have a few potted red ginger plants behind the house. I deliberately planted this for medicinal purposes, because it would be difficult to get red ginger in the market. Here are some photos my ginger plant which I planted using the pot method. Usually ginger planted in pots will be better and easier to care for, maybe because the soil pH level is slightly stable. Due to limited costs, I used a broken bucket and several sacks of rice.
For the land I am working on, I am waiting for the seeds to arrive, because I ordered them from a friend who has been a ginger farmer for eight years. He was quite skilled, and I learned a lot.

Hi friend, here is also a more expensive red ginger, the normal one is easy to get, but still there is not so much on the market. But the red ginger is very difficult to get and I think there are very few farmers who take care of growing it. I think it is important that we start planting more of this type of plant, which can benefit us all. Very good information, I love the photos. Thanks for this post. Blessings.
As I said, farmers are lazy to plant cashew ginger because of its small size, and little yield, even though it's expensive.
Thanks for sharing this story with us. I hope the turmeric helps your father.

Thank you very much, I hope you are healthy too. Portugal, that is so awful. I'm a CR7 Fan. Ha ha
You're welcome.
I had to look up what CR7 meant. I'm originally from Holland and am not a fan of CR7 haha. My favorite team is Ajax ( from Amsterdam ) ;<)
Fascinating! Herbal medicine can be quite addictive, can't it? There's always something to learn, and always something to grow.
Hahaa ... You are absolutely right. I feel addicted and continue to find out what types of plants can be used as medicine. The more we know, the more we can share. So I thought, why did you think about creating this community? Haha ... you are a genius.❤️🌿👌
