Brad, Is it too late in the year to dig cultivated ginseng? And is OK to dig early in the spring before it breaks through the ground?

Thanks for the info on stratifing seeds.
I'm about ready to harvest my cultivated ginseng roots. What do you suggest is the best way to "treat" them after digging?

I lost all my seeds from last year (very disappointed). Maybe from not "dehulling" or most likely from not sterilizing sand. I'm following your suggestions this year.
After depulping the seeds, bleaching, rinsing and putting in sterilized sand, where do you suggest I store them?

What is the best way to stratify ginseng seeds. I put a gallon or so of unhulled seeds in my root cellar last fall in a wooden box mixed with sand. I haven't checked my experiment yet this year. And how can I tell if the seeds are still good.

Yes, it's under a 30' X 60' shade tarp (75%). I have 4 rows that are 4' by 60' long under it. The seeds are starting to look pretty good. I wonder also if there would be much of a market for my seeds?

Looks like I may dig about 75 lbs(green) of cultivated ginseng later this summer. What would be the most profitable way for me to sell it. It was planted in the fall of 2008 and 95% of it is four prong now. I haven't never put any fertilizer or insect control on it. I bought some Fusilade for weeds last year but was unsure when to use it so I didn't. I've been pulling the weeds by hand. Any suggestions on selling?

Cultivated Ginseng / Ginseng Auction

Can anyone tell me when they have an auction in WI for cultivated ginseng? I think a grower told me it is run like a tobacco auction in the south, in which the seng is graded and sold.

FTB,
I haven't had to spray for anthing yet. It sounds like I might have to learn about spaying sooner or latter.

I have between 50 and 70 lbs of un-dug cultivated sang under my tarped area.
My wife and I went to Wisconsin 4 years ago and talked to a ginseng farmer. He had about 5 acres under tarps and he said he was a small time farmer. Some have as much as a 100 acres growing.
So I came back and put a 30' by 60' area under tarps. I'm an extremely small time sang farmer compared to the WI. growers.
I planted mine in the fall of 2009.
