Say goodbye to adulterated turmeric of the market! Know this secret of growing ‘gold’ at home

When we add turmeric to the vegetable, do we ever think how pure it is? The turmeric of the market is often afraid of adulteration. But think, how can you grow fresh, aromatic and absolutely pure turmeric in a pot of your house for your kitchen?

Believe it, it is even easier to do as it looks good as it looks. For this, you neither need a big farm nor did any special training. Let me tell you how you can do this wonders.

Step 1: Choosing the right ‘seed’ (turmeric lump)
You do not have to go to the seed shop. Just go to your vegetable and bring a good, thick knot of raw turmeric.

• Tip: Choose a lump in which small ‘eyes’ or buds are seen coming out. Even if not, it will still grow.

Step 2: Prepare a ‘house’ of turmeric (pot and soil)
Turmeric needs space to spread

• Flowerpot: Instead of taking a deep pot, take a wide-mouth pot or gro-bag. The 10-12 inch pot will be good.
• Soil: Do not take a simple soil. To make the soil brittle, add some sand and cow dung manure (compost). This will work as good food for turmeric.

Step 3: Let’s apply it now!
Turmeric lump is not to be applied directly. If the lump is large, cut it into small pieces, remember that every piece must have one or two ‘eyes’.

• Now press these pieces about 2 inches deep in the pot. If you keep the ‘eye’ part upwards, then even better.

Step 4: Just a little love and care

• Water: Give some water after applying. Remember, turmeric likes moisture, but not mud. Therefore, always keep the soil light moist, but do not let water stand in it.
• Sunlight: Turmeric does not like very fast, straight sunlight. Keep it in a place where there is a light sunlight of 3-4 hours in the morning. The place near your balcony or window is best for this.

Step 5: Waiting and … fun of excavation!
Now you just have to wait, beautiful leaves of turmeric will start coming out in a few weeks. After about 8 to 10 months, when these leaves start to dry yellow automatically, then understand that your ‘gold’ is ready under the ground.

Now dig the soil of the pot slowly and take out the fresh, shiny and aromatic turmeric of your hard work! The color and taste of this fresh turmeric will be a million times better than the market turmeric.

Then what are you waiting for? Get a knot today and make your house a small turmeric field!
