There's been quite a bit of interest in joining me in my venture to grow ginger and I'm very happy for the company.
I thought I'd post a bit of help for those of us that haven't grown Ginger before, although there's lots of different sites on the internet that have good advice on them as well, it's fast approaching the start of the experiment just over 3 weeks away (January 1st, New Years Day) so you need to be on the look out for a good piece of ginger to grow, some that has little green bumps on it. (Photos at the bottom) Sadly not my photos.

How to Grow Ginger
Items Needed
1. Take a planting container that has a diameter of around 14 inches and is 12 inches deep. At the same time, it should have a good drainage system.
2. Soak the tubers in warm water and leave overnight.
3. Fill the container with potting soil, which has been enriched beforehand, with plenty of compost.
4. In the morning, set the tubers in the pot, just below the soil surface. Make sure to space them evenly and have the buds facing up.
5. Place the container indoors at a place that has good light. In the initial days following planting, water the container lightly.
6. As soon as you see the growth starting, water the plant more heavily. In the winter season, plants go dormant. So, you need to keep them dry.
7.Always keep the plant shielded from high winds. It will take around 10 to 12 months for the plant to reach maturity and grow to a height of 2 to 4 feet.
All thats left for me to say is Good Luck and don't forget your photos
