Title: Growing Ginger at Home
Post by: SnS on December 30, 2007, 08:02 PM

I read somewhere that if a two inch piece of ginger root is planted in sandy soil it will grow into a plant (indoors on the window ledge). Whenever a piece of root is required, just cut a piece off. It keeps growing - apparently.

Anybody tried this? How long does it take to grow? Is it worth doing? etc etc ..

I tried this years ago
I put some ginger in a pot of compost in my greenhouse
Three months later I dug it up, and it was the same size!!
I had watered it, but it never grew

"Best grown as an annual in the UK. Cannot be grown outdoors even in the hottest part of summer: minimum temperature around 28?C"

Think I might give that idea a miss then ! ???
