How do you grow ginger?
Ginger is best planted in late winter or early spring. Rhizomes can be broken up into smaller pieces, provided each piece has an eye, or they can just be planted whole. Rhizomes should be planted at a depth of 5 to 10 cm with growing buds facing up, and should be spaced 15 to 20 cm apart. Water thoroughly after planting and then mulch heavily - this will help to keep the soil moist while also providing nutrients and reducing competition from weeds.
Ginger can also be planted in pots and containers. A standard 36 cm pot will hold an average of three rhizomes, and a standard rectangular polystyrene box nine to twelve.
