The Complete Ginseng Grower's Manual

Very poor illustrations ( pictures), far less quality content to work from if you are serious about growing Ginseng. Goodtypesetting with horrible typesetting (cheap and very poor in illustrative quality.) If you want to KNOW what you need toknow with detail based on experience - buy Growing and Marketing Ginseng, Goldenseal and other Woodland Medicinals Paperback – July 29, 2014 by Jeanine M. Davis (Author),‎ W. Scott Persons (Author) and forget The COMPLETE (NOT)Ginseng Growers Manual.

Talks too much about using chemicals .Think its primarily geared towards comercial propagation. I just wanted to know the more natural way to plant and maintain ginseng in the wild.

This is a good read for anyone interested in the actual mechanics of growing ginseng. It is practical and succinct, and the author does not waste time on superfluous material.

good book

I recently read that this plant was placed on the endangered species list. We all hav e a responsibility to see that these plants especially those with such profound medicinal properties don't go extinct. So we all need to make an effort to learn about it and try to grow it. It would b a shame to lose such a gift

All figures, sources, and references are based on 1983 research. I figured the 2012 edition would have been updated, however it isn't. Good growing information, but nothing special. If you've read a book on ginseng....you probably won't learn much new material.

excellent reading for new potential growrr

A+
