More About Turmeric
Turmeric is a long season crop that needs tons of heat. Start tubers indoors in January by planting them three inches deep in organic-rich potting soil. Keep them moist and try to maintain a temperature of at least 25C. A growers heating pad works great.
By late April we plant the tiny shoots in an unheated greenhouse spacing them around one foot apart. We keep the soil moist and add compost several times to feed the plants through the growing season.
Turmeric will put on six feet of growth by September. In October they’ll begin to expand their root mass and will be ready to harvest in November. You can keep them in the ground and use them as needed throughout the winter provided you keep them free of frost and in soil that’s only slightly moist.
