Growing Ginger

View the Ginger page

08 Aug 13 Jagger (Australia - tropical climate)
I've moved from Brighton in Vic to Malaysia to China to rural Darwin. I grew to love Asian food. Since arriving in Darwin I have planted Ginger in a pot. Now in late July/ early August the leaves have died off and I am wondering what to do now. The previous year I left it and it turned to a hollow case of ginger bark. The year before that I harvested it and it was extremely woody. Can someone please tell me how to harvest, store and replant the ginger so I can increase my harvest year on year? Thanks!
