Asparagus 10 Nov, Edward Phahamane (South Africa - Summer rainfall climate)
I am a first time asparagus enthusiast... I would like your advise on planting asparagus on the rich loam soil on a plot on a river bank. What type of asparagus will be good to plant there? Do you make cross border sales because the plot is in Lesotho? Kind regards

Ginger 10 Oct, Angela (South Africa - Semi-arid climate)
What went wrong? I planted the ginger buds and they shot up nicely and showed promise but when I wanted to harvest the roots were rotten. Too much water ??

Good draining soil is required - water only 2-3 times a week and give good fertilising. Plant and harvest the right time.

Turmeric and Ginger rhizomes don't like wet feet. They need nutrient rich but well draining soil. You might consider adding some sand to the soil to encourage drainage.

Compare your climate to a New Zealand or Australian climate and then check the planting guide here for that climate. You would be tropic probably.

It says Jan - March. The reason, most vegetables are seasonal, so you need to plant in the right season.

Look up the planting times for the vegetables you are thinking about. Also look up on the internet how to grow all of these crops. Start out with small plots first until you learn what to do.
