Ginger

Planting:

Use a fresh, plump ginger rhizome with visible “eyes” or buds.

Cut into 2–3 inch pieces if large, making sure each piece has at least one bud.

Plant in rich, well-draining soil about 2 inches deep, with buds facing upward.

Care:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Place in partial shade; direct sunlight can scorch young shoots.

Fertilize monthly with organic compost or balanced liquid fertilizer.

Harvest:

Ginger is ready to harvest in 8–10 months when leaves turn yellow and start drying.

Carefully dig up the rhizomes, leaving some to regrow for the next season.
