Ginseng is the most cultivated for 6 years. This is because after 6 years the soil environment becomes sterile and burns or rots. Even if you only grow ginseng with 6-year-old roots, you have to pay about half the test. However, it was said that ginseng was cultivated for 11 years. I asked the Korea Ginseng Corporation and the National Agricultural Products Quality Management Service, “Is 11-year-old ginseng rare?” The answer that came was “I have not heard or seen anything about raising 7-8 years, much less 11 years.”
To answer my curiosity, I visited Daedong village in Bugui-myeon, Jinan-gun, Jeollabuk-do on the 21st. Park Cheol-han, 45, executive director of the Jeonbuk Ginseng Association, accompanied him and said: ” I want to control the ginseng directly. “
Farmer Park Hyeong-soon (64) guided him to his own ginseng field at the foot of Bojae Mountain, 500 meters above sea level. The ginseng leaves both stems and the leaves disappear in autumn. However, few bamboo stalks were seen in Park’s ginseng field, which was about 900 square meters. Mr. Park took a ginseng from a large bamboo stick and began to dig it with a hoe. Three or four ginseng appeared. Although it was small in size, several brain heads were clearly visible preserving the years of the past. Before long, the ginseng on the stem showed its appearance. It was a large ginseng that had never been seen anywhere else.
Managing Director Park said: “In the history of Korean ginseng, no ginseng has grown for so long. It’s amazing because it has an impeccably tough shape, “he said.” It is Jinan, the hometown of ginseng, but it was possible to cultivate for 11 years due to natural habitat conditions such as excellent soil and climate. “He said,” This farmer reported on growing ginseng 11 years ago, and how As a result of the analysis of the aerial photographs taken each year, the receipt is secure. “
The reason Farmer Park has been growing ginseng for 11 years is because of her love and regret for growing ginseng. She learned to grow ginseng from a young age when her father died when she was 13 years old. In the beginning, I handled other ginseng fields. For the next 45 years, she became a “Ginseng Doctor” by cultivating her own 30,000-square-meter field of ginseng, but could not afford the labor costs. After designing mechanical agriculture, she switched her job to a Korean cattle farm with modernized facilities 11 years ago.
Mr. Park said, “It was a ginseng field that I dedicated all my youth to, but since I was forced to raise Korean beef, it was very sad. So, I took care of the ginseng field that I left a little bit in the morning and at night, “he said.” After 6 years, I thought they would lose their strength, but they are holding on until now. “
He said, “It saddens me that my wife and children are crying to give up the ginseng field, but I think I should finish it this year.” “I will keep the pride of growing 11-year-old ginseng in Jinan forever.”
An official from Korea Ginseng Corporation said: “If ginseng can be grown slowly for several decades or hundreds of years like wild ginseng, the medicinal effect will be comparable to wild ginseng, but unfortunately, it cannot grow for long. There is no verified data on the efficacy of ancient ginseng. “
