Ginseng seeds and roots, as well as goldenseal roots, were planted in an appropriately shaded, well-drained site fertilized with dolomitic lime, gypsum, and commercial P fertilizer. Ginseng sustained considerable waterlogging at one of the sites, as well as damage from small animals digging up the roots. Goldenseal took well and had no problems. The investigator recommends careful assessment of drainage at potential sites and protection of the roots with wire mesh.
