In a world made of technology, today people want to be in   direct  contact with the earth again.  Having a small DIY garden at home is the dream of many, even if you don’t always have a green thumb.  In this case, farmers  come to the rescue with its easy-to-apply method. It involves growing ginger and lemongrass directly in the home garden, as well as  garlic to multiply  and have it available whenever you want. How to do? It’s that easy.

The farmer’s method, how to grow ginger and lemongrass at home?

There are many people who would like a small green corner at home, also dedicating themselves to growing something. The Farmers Method teaches you how to grow  ginger and lemongrass  step by step, in just a few steps.

To  grow ginger  it is necessary to have  the product ready and washed  . Each part is then broken in half and placed in a glass container or glass baking dish.

At this point,  water is added  and covered with a damp cloth. Let the ginger run its course and after a week you will be able to see the first roots. If they are not yet developed, repeat the process for another week. The ginger parts with the root should be placed in a vase with soil, so that other ginger plants can grow  indefinitely  .

The same thing happens with  lemongrass,  to multiply it at will with a very simple method.

Take the stems and cut the thin bottom part with the help of a knife. Once done on all available stems,  prepare a jar  full of water for each stem (not in pairs or groups). Let the water follow its course and after a few days you will notice the first roots.

Once  the roots have developed, you can put the stems into the soil so you can have endless seedlings.

Tips for growing garlic at home

The farmer’s method could not be missing even for the  cultivation of garlic  . In this case we work directly with the whole heads of garlic.

These will have to be  peeled completely  . Then, vases/containers filled with water are prepared to delicately place the garlic. It should not be submerged in water, but the affected part will only be the bottom one for the development of the roots. As time goes by you will notice the white roots becoming longer and longer and when they have  reached the end of the pot  they can be taken.

Also in this case they will have to be placed in a vase with soil, but first the head of garlic will be broken  tooth by tooth  . Only at this point can the root be inserted into the soil and wait for it to multiply.
