I grow it in the Bellinger Valley, south of Coffs Harbour and near the coast, Daniel, it should be fine where you are.

We have just moved to Tully North Queensland and was thinking of putting in some Ginger on our acreage , would you think it could be too wet up here, and where could we purchase some

I'm in cairns and it grows pretty good here, as long as it has good drainage. I keep mine in a pot, and they say it doesn't like full sun but mine grows well in it. You should be able to grow it from a piece you buy at the supermarket:)

after a couple of weeks a piece of ginger i bought from a green grocer has just sprouted. i have it in a small pot inside a homemade 'hot box' i made. the hot box is about 1 m cube with a 25w light bulb inside to keep it warm [approx 25 deg c]. i initially made the box to keep my ginger beer plant 'alive' to make ginger beer throughout winter - my family loves the stuff!

Daley's Fruit tree Nursery have galangal, although is listed as out of stock now so you may have to wait for next year.

Hi there, a friend gave me a ginger plant but I've found different suggestions on the net wether to plant it in full sun or shade. Its a huge rhizome and app. 90 cm long green leafy stems. Should the whole root be covered by earth? I'm located in the Upper Hunter Valley, NSW. Thanks Olivia

if you are growing eating ginger, they prefer half sun/shade place. The best place would be seeing the morning sun, but not the lunch and afternoon sun, since lunch and afternoon sun are too strong and will burn the leafy. Also it would be best to water them each day if planted outdoor.
