Finding good roots around here is a real walk sometimes and I tend to be a lot more patient about how much and who I sell it too. Big roots tend to be rare birds around my area.
I know what you mean. In some areas, guys can make a pound with 250-300 roots. Where I live, it seems like it takes closer to 400 to get a pound of dry roots.
Sadly, I had to sell a couple of pounds of ginseng to Duncan yesterday. The tires on my truck were getting pretty bad, and I HAD to put new ones on before something bad happened. Because I've dealt with Duncan for years, and becasue I have quality roots, I did slightly better than $400/lb.
