I live in Chattanooga TN and have dug ginseng for about 24 years. About eight years back, I started using a GPS to mark were I had left Ginseng that was not yet ready to be dug. It has really paid off in the long run and I would suggest it to all young diggers. Especially if you are able to dig ginseng in large remote areas were it may be hard to remember exactly were it was or if you are getting old and forgetful like me. Just thought I would share what I have been doing.

Northern Digger, the summers are not that bad. We have a pretty good environment for ginseng and a lot of undeveloped woodland.

I went last weekend to a spot I had not been to in 5 years. I dug a bunch of nice Ginseng. I will try to get some pic to show.
