Cultivated Ginseng / elevated ginseng beds/ off the ground

« on: June 05, 2016, 07:14:31 PM »

Has anyone ever raised ginseng in an elevated raised bed box? I was thinking of making one about 2 ft off the ground. My theory is that it would be easier to control pests. If I fo how deep do tje beds need to be for the winters. I live on Tennessee so our winters are fairly mild. What consistency of potting soil, sand and mulch is best?

Can you give me the recipe for your potting mix? How much sand, mulch and potting soil %. How much of each? And can you suggest a brand and type of potting soil?

The same thing happened to me. I have a raised bed with 20 plants. As soon as they came up they were being eat. Do slugs eat the leaves while they are in the ground? When should I start treating the soil? Before the plants come up? And with what?
