I've been interested in making a ginger bug. Seems easy enough and can carbonate soda. Went to buy some this weekend and it was $4/lb. That seems like a lot! For reference, I usually buy fruits for the family or fermentation when they're $1/lb and never go above $2/lb.

I plan on growing my own, prelim researching says it's easy enough, but until then, where do you get yours and how much is it?

The best and cheapest ginger I've found has been at the local farmer's market. Can't remember the price but the ginger itself was fresh, large, and amazing. ymmv obvs
