I am so sorry. I also don't have a way to contact you and don't think you will get a notice when I post this response. We will see. I am not able to come out and walk someone's property right now, but we do have some very knowledgeable folks in our region who do so and I would be happy to recommend them. Use the private message contact form in the right sidebar of this website to send me a personal message and I will share that information with you. Thanks.

But,I suggest you contact your area specialized extension agent, Craig Mauney at rcmauney@ncsu.edu. He can help you with that or recommend someone nearby who can. And he can tell you more about our Woodland Stewards program that is a working/mentoring/educating program for aspiring ginseng and other woodland botanicals growers.<br />Jeanine Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04872458734869518222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401057220674557239.post-17202177610288746462020-08-23T11:13:18.975-04:002020-08-23T11:13:18.975-04:00Hello my name is John Green, my wife Carol and I h...Hello my name is John Green, my wife Carol and I have property in Southern Jackson County, n.c.I was wondering if you could tell me if my property is suitable for growing ginseng and what the cost would be.
