Want to grow edible ginger root. ???

I am going to start a ginger root from the market. Can it grow in semi moist soil? (It doesn't drain so well)
Also, how tall will it get?

I'd wait until spring...it is just entering it's dormant period...
It LOVES water...so sounds good. and It will get,depending on conditions, around 4-5 feet tall, at least mine did.

Most supermarkets treat the roots so they will not sprout. If you want to make sure buy them from an Asian supermarket or a health food store!
