I never knew what that stuff was, I always called em buck berries because the deer love em.... I never knew it was ginseng though, and these things are huge, at least 4 footers... think i'll dig some n try it out. thanks for the vid.

This was very helpful, and your sense of stewardship to the forest (and future harvest!) is admirable. Question: that looks pretty dry on that hillside--I hear they need a lot of water. Was that just because it was August?

@marginallymental Thank you very mutch.

The dirt was a little dry that day,but it usaly is reasonably moist in that area,it had not rained for a little bit and that area is very steep so if the rain is gone for 2 weeks it will be a little dry in that area,but deeper in the ground the hillside is moist and Ive never had a problim with the seng in the area.

I used to dig with my dad and brother years ago in Wisconsin. This is the greatest father/son sport in the world.. Thanks for the video, brings back great memories.

wish more people would replant the seeds that way. any more so many are digging that have no respect for the plant that they even take the one and two prongs. soon there wont be any wild ginseng left. hope i dont live to see that day. thanks for the vid.
