Potato v.s. Ginger
Hi,
I got a question about ginger (the type that you buy at the gocery store). I know that I can plant potato if they sprout (you know, when you buy a lot on sale and you can't finish them it in time). What about ginger? Can I just put it in the soil just like potato and except a harvest in October? Thx, Alex |

I just leave the store bought ginger on the porch then when I notice it trying to sprout, break off that piece and plant it in a 4" pot, keep it watered until it takes then in the ground it goes.......plant it in a shady area though.......no direct sun. One store bought "root" will yield many sprouts if you leave it outside out of direct sun.......just be patient. |

What about ginger? Can I
just put it in the soil just like potato and except a harvest in October? I did and it put up leaves, died down in the winter and is now putting up leaves again. I haven't tried to harvest the root, but I assume if you plant it in a place and a climate that makes it happy it'll perform for you. Just break off a piece of the rhizome at the place where it thins out and plant several a few inches deep. I live in z=one 8b or 9 (New Orleans.) zemedelec |
