GROWING YOUR OWN GINGER ROOT IS EASY


Take a knobbly piece of ginger root, which you can buy in the grocers, or supermarket and gently nuzzle it into the top of a pot of compost – half garden soil and half peat-free multi-purpose compost. Water the compost and place on a warm windowsill. After a few weeks small shoots will appear and as the plant grow bigger make sure it does not dry out. The ginger root will grow through the spring and summer - the pot can be kept outside when it is warmer.


In autumn, when the leaves start to turn brown, the root is ready to dig up and use in the kitchen.
