RE: Growing Turmeric - Day 231 - Haiku - On the Benefits of Turmeric, and Growing Our Own Food and Medicine!
I grow them in grow bags of 50cm diameter. This year harvest to make the powder was from starting with two bags and 7 small sprouting rhizomes in each.

Excellent! I've been wanting to more with grow bags, especially for my chaya. You've just helped me make up my mind!
Thanks for your great comment!

Just keep in mind that soil in grow bags dry faster than in pots but the grow bags promote better soil aeration

Indeed, but the soil also is less likely to overheat in the sun, which is a big factor when using black nursery pots. Plusses and minuses on both sides.
Yes. There are actually many plusses for using grow bags and one important one is the air pruning of the roots.

Hence my reason for wanting them for my chaya, which is an extremely aggressive rooter.
