Turmeric is very easy to grow!

Turmeric is very easy to grow, has no real pests, grows organically, and will shoot up anywhere in well-drained soil.

You only need a small piece of a rhizome to begin growing turmeric. Place anyway in up to 4cm of soil.

Turmeric can grow in pots which are at least 30cm in diameter. Turmeric has great broad leaves so it needs lots of sunlight.

Regularly Water Turmeric

It requires regular watering when it is just beginning to grow, and less so as the growing season starts.

It is recommended that turmeric is planted after winter, ideally nine months before harvest.

Best Temperatures to grow Turmeric

It will perish if the temperature falls below 18°C/65°F for longer than 3 months, the roots will freeze and spoil.

It flourishes in warm, tropical regions (Zone 9).

The more porous the soil, the better the volume of your rhizomes.

Once you harvest your crop of turmeric, you then need to cook it, boil it, dehydrate it, and grind it into powder, ready to use in your Golden Paste...
