I'd like to try and grow some turmeric, ginger, horseradish, wasabi and other rhizomes down near the creek. Tagging for interest in the response to this. I'm interested in growing ginger etc too. Is it relatively "critter proof"? Deer etc would eat it alive if not... |

Hazelnuts can be an forest understory tree/bush. Might be a nice addition to your plans.

You could try ramps around the creek if it's shaded and not too dry. Hard to establish, but if you can get them to take hold they'll be around forever if you don't over harvest them.

Dunstan Chestnuts. You can start to get a crop within 3 years. Buy the grow tubes to protect your trees from deer as they get established.

Consider ginseng for a component if you are in zone 7. There is a ready market for woods grown & you can start small with seeds or roots & see how it does.

I had been looking into it for a 20 acre property we have in NC that is roughly 1/2 fields & 1/2 wooded. I'm sure you can find the same on-line sites I did as sources for seeds & roots, cultivation hints, etc. From what I read, commercial growing can be done in structured areas with shade cloth coverings on frames or in more natural settings like open woodland. Your local ag. extension agent may also have info specific to your area. Another consideration may be the potential for poachers if there are established Ginseng gatherers in your area that don't respect property lines... Nick |

Nick The property will be heavily monitored and protected. |

Look into growing shitake mushrooms in logs... you use inoculated plugs drilled into oak logs.
