I potted up my 1 lb of organic ginger and set outside. Have two pointy green stalks that have broke through the thin layer of soil covering the ginger roots. I've never grown ginger before, so I don't even know what it'll look like. And I don't know what to expect either.

I would like to try tumeric also. Perhaps next year I will.

The goal is to be able to produce my own health drink. This storebought drink really helps me, although its a bit too sweet.

I've tried two times to grow ginger. Using store bought organic ginger. No go.

I ran into the non-fermentable ginger problem once when I was making homemade ginger ale and reseached why. This may be help you understand why yours failed. It's from AI so take it for what it's worth.

---> Here <--- is where my wife purchased the ginger root I planted. You want at leaset two eyes per peice. I just broke the root apart, no knife. I layed the pecies on soil with eyes facing up. A bit of green growth helped.me identify the eyes and which way they will grow. Then I covered with about a inch of soil. Set in a sunny location and kept well watered.

I circled the eyes for you. The one on the lower left is a good example of how you would lay that peice flat so the growth grows up.

Here's what has poked up so far.

This little new one poked up this morning.
