Thanks Lee. I've been looking for ginger for some time now in
nuseries and at an herb farm without luck, so I'm ready to try this.
Anyone know the location/climate the store-bought ginger is grown? We
have a lot of shady acidic soil conditions on a slope and need some
plant cover there. (Already have pachysandra, variuous ferns, and
some wild honey suckle).

yes, it will work, but the one I grew got too big for the area in th
solarium. if you break a piece off be sure to let the broken end cure
before planting it as it will brobably rot if not cured. I just used
some potting soil in a big pot and it grew long stems with fine long
frond type leaves simular to palm fronds. i did use Super Trove as a
rooting inducer.
