Hi, my ginger yields very small rhizomes after the whole year on ground. What should I do to increase size of rhizome?

Adding lots of old, rotted manure and mulch will help. The manure will provide nutrients and the mulch will help save water. Ginger also needs a good supply of water to ensure good, plump roots.
