I have more ginger root than I need.  Rather than freeze it, I'd
like to plant it.  "The Apartment Farmer" by Duane Newcomb says
to plant it "with sprout end up".  Which end is that?  Is ginger
annual or perennial?  Are the leaves, stalks, or whatever good 
for anything, or do I just wind up with a larger piece of root that
I can dig up later?

Of course if it works I'll have much more than I need but...
