The best time to plant ginger is spring. Ginger will do well in well manured, well drained soil. It likes water but too much before it starts to sprout about a month after planting will cause the rhizomes to rot. Harvest the ginger in the autumn and let it air dry for while before storing in a cool dark place. In warm coastal, frost-free areas the main rhizome/s can be left in the ground. Trust this helps.
