I think that you are referring to Wild Ginger,which is not edible. .It is an Invader species.

We just put a piece of the ginger root from the supermarket. Does OK.

I have had ginger from the supermarket start sprouting before, just buy one and give it a go!

I've experimented with growing ginger for home use in Durban - somewhat successful. To obtain shoots for ginger growing, take several young shoots and place in see-through plastic bag and leave in a shaded/dark area for at least 2 weeks and u will observe the sproughts, Then remove from bag and plant.

Although ginger isn't recommended for temperate climate, I've had success planting a shop-bought rhizome it in a pot with coconut fibre potting mix. I shield the leaves from direct sun with shade cloth wrapped around the plants, which also keeps the humidity in. I water daily in summer and fertilise regularly with low nitrogen soluble fertiliser. Just waiting for the leaves to die down before harvesting.
