I am farming in the Highveld area with cold winters. Where can I buy ginger plants or seedlings in Gauteng area. Is it better to put up a tunnel for growing ginger in our area? Hannalie

Good day Hannalie. It is always better to grow in a tunnel. "Tip" to heat the tunnel up in winter: build your compost pile inside the tunnel. The heat from the compost pile can increase the temperature of your tunnel with up to 10*C.
