So you want to grow a TON of ginger from storebought ginger root?

You probably didn’t know it but that ginger root you buy at the grocery store isn’t a root at all! It’s actually a rhizome! What if I told you that you could have fresh, nutritious, and completely ORGANIC ginger whenever you wanted it? Don’t believe me? Well, YOU CAN!

In this video, I’ll show you how to grow ginger in containers and in the ground and get a huge harvest, all from storebought ginger root. It’s really easy to grow at home both indoors and out. Here I give you my best tips on how to grow a TON of fresh ginger at home, no matter where you live, and be able to harvest it all at once from containers or from in the ground, or just a piece at a time as you need it.
I’ll even tell you all the ways you can use every part of the plant. The best part of it all is you can hide that ginger plant in your home landscape and no one will ever be the wiser. Plus, you can use it any time you need it!
