Ginger Masterclass: Plant Once, Harvest Forever!

Feeling spicy? Rooting for some flavor in your life? Ginger has a secret which Ben will reveal in this video. Many people don’t realise that ginger can be grown from shop-bought roots (or ’rhizomes’) and that when you know how, they can be planted once and harvested forever! A very simple trick to save you money and spice up your life. Ben also heads up to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to chat with horticulturist Simon Allan, who tends the garden’s Living Collection of Gingers. Simon offers some of his own expert tips and shows us a small selection of the literally hundreds of different types out there - prepare to be wowed! If you’re a fan of growing flavorsome foods, then check out our video on growing garlic, the perfect complement to ginger. And now, in autumn, is the best time to grow it!
