Growing ginger in a pot is as easy as ABC. You will also have the ability to harvest fresh ginger on demand as ginger are a great source of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties which can contribute to overall well-being.

Method of planting ginger in a pot:

1: Firstly, start with a piece of fresh ginger root that has "eyes" or growth buds.

2. Get a flower pot or container that is at about 12 inches deep and wide with drainage holes underneath.

3. Get a manure or a well-draining potting mix.

4: Go ahead and plant the ginger rhizome with the eyes facing up, about 2 inches deep.

5: Plenty sunshine and warmth is very important for growth but try and avoid direct, intense sunlight.

6: water everyday but make sure the soil is moist but not soggy and you can add organic fertiliser every six to eight weeks.

Note::

If you live in cold countries , you don’t want your ginger to rot so you have to bring the pot indoors and place them close to windows to get direct sunlight if possible.

We went on the hunt for the best fiction books featuring our favorite green-thumbed heroes—herbalists.

We've got a fresh blog filled with recommendations for the Best Herb Gardening, Farming, and Permaculture Books for Herbalists!
Tending a medicine garden is an ancient part of the herbalist’s path. For thousands of years, healers have planted their most-used remedies in the soil just beyond their doorsteps. The wisdom in this is two-fold: not only do herbalists need their medicines close at hand, but the presence, aroma, and beauty of herbs brings succor to those who are sick *and* to those who heal.
Herb gardening is experiencing a renaissance right now, as herbalists and home medicine makers choose a steady and self-reliant way to access healing plants. The truth is, nothing compares to the freshness, quality, and economy of homegrown medicine.
We’ve been planting our own herb gardens at the Chestnut School for decades. These lush sanctuaries are our primary sources of medicine, and they fill our apothecaries to the brim year after year. More often than not, the plants are our teachers in the garden, but we also give loads of credit to a stellar selection of books that we’ve turned to season after season.
Are you ready to grow your own herbs? We’ve compiled a list of brilliant books that will help you start your herb garden, medicinal farm, or permaculture paradise:
