Potting ginger is a great way for many of us who live in non-tropical climates to grow this wonderful plant. Not only is the plant fragrant, it is a highly prized spice or herb depending on how you use it. To be honest, I wasn’t sure if ginger was a spice or herb and I had to look it up myself. Livestrong has an interesting article on its classification here. Apparently, it is dual classified as both.
Ginger is a great plant. It is hardy, easy to grow, and can be used in many different ways. Some people use it for medicinal purposes, but we use it for cooking. It is easily harvest fresh right from the ground, diced and dehydrated to use as needed in cooking, or, can be ground to make a spice. By growing it in a pot or tub like we will show, you will have fresh ginger year round.
When the soil is ready you can plant your ginger!
