Ginseng is difficult and expensive to grow. Before ginseng can be planted, the same plot of land can not be used to grow another ginseng crop for at least 15 years, during which time red cedar trees are planted. After the cedar trees are removed, the soil needs to be turned over to allow for the absorption of natural essential ingredients, treated with organic fertilizers but avoiding any drugs or chemical compounds. Every two years after planting, the roots need to be transferred to another bed and the four-year seeds can be harvested for cultivation. Because ginseng is not easy to harvest, and because of its strength-giving powers and commercial value, there is very little wild ginseng left in the world. Today, 99% of all ginseng is commercially grown.
