1. Presprout:

The most important part of starting ginger is that you’ll need to prep the seed for about six weeks before it will grow properly.

Choose an organic piece of ginger from the store for planting (treatments from chemicals prevent non-organic from sprouting).

Place the piece in a small container with drainage holes in the bottom.

Put a small amount of soil in the bottom of the container and add about a half inch of soil above the seed.

Add plenty of water and cover.

Soil temperature should be around 70 degrees for the next six to eight weeks.

Once the sprout appears, you can plant it in a larger container.
