- 1). Cut the ginger rhizome into 1-inch pieces. Each piece should contain at least one "eye." Set the pieces aside until they form a callus. This generally takes about three days.
- 2). Choose an area of the garden in which to plant the ginger root. It should receive morning sun and afternoon shade. In particularly warm areas, grow the ginger in the shade.
- 3). Add a 3-inch layer of sand and a 3-inch layer of well-rotted manure to the soil and mix them into the top 12 inches.
- 4). Plant the culinary ginger rhizome 1 inch deep and 15 inches apart. Cover them with soil.
- 5). Keep the soil slightly moist at all times.
