I believe you are going to discover that growing ginseng for profit is a lot tougher than it sounds in the book. Ginseng has some very specific growth requirements and without those specifications being met it would be better to put your money in a pile and burn it. At least there would be something to ignite. Good luck with your venture.

well what it requires cus ive seen it growing wild in some parks near by my house. all it really needs is shaded light and rich soil that stays damp prity often. and a whole lot of time 7 years thats about all. its really good to plant around big trees that have shade from there leafs where the ginsings leafs are it should be partly shaded

I used to dig such roots when I was a kid. Ginseng was almost never found and I knew many of people who tried like heck to cultivate it.

They even tried growing it in the exact same spot they found it and it never worked out right. Kinda like the infamous morel mushrooms.

I made quite a bit of money digging goldenseal and various roots. If I remember correctly the prices around the house bottomed out in the late 90s and people pretty much stopped digging.

Good luck!
