FOREST PLANTINGS OF AMERICAN GINSENG
By Dr. Walter Van Fleet
The earlier successes with ginseng culture were made with forest plantings, and this method is still preferred by many growers where the proper conditions are available. The shade should be fairly dense, but should be produced by tall, open-headed trees rather than by undergrowth. Good drainage is essential, as the plants will not thrive in wet soils. The soil should be deeply plowed or spaded, all tree roots removed, and their further encroachment should be prevented by cutting around the beds yearly with a sharp spade. Leaf mold or well-decayed litter should be liberally worked into the soil, and an application of bone meal raked into the surface will in most cases prove a useful addition. The culture of forest beds is in all respects similar to that under artificial shade, and the winter mulch should in no case be omitted.
