Information for Women: How to Grow Ginger At Home

This amazing herb is fairly reasonably priced too if you can't grow it at home. I have tried to grow it and failed, perhaps I shall give it another try!

Ginger is a wonderful addition to your cooking and has a wide variety of medicinal benefits, including broad-spectrum antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant and antiparasitic properties
Growing your own ginger is a simple way to ensure you always have this medicinal wonder worker on hand, and will provide you with something you won’t get at the store — so-called “stem” ginger, which has its own culinary uses
Stem ginger — the fresh-from-the-ground rhizome — has a warm, delicate, almost floral flavor, devoid of ginger’s usual fieriness. As the root dries and develops that papery outer surface, it becomes “hotter”
Growing ginger is really easy, and can be done either in a container, kept indoors or out, or directly in your garden bed. All you need to get started is a fresh leftover piece
To propagate, start with a firm, plump piece with smooth skin and visible eyes — tiny yellow tips on the rhizome that will eventually develop into new sprouts. Root is ready for harvest in six to eight months
