Answers:
Freeze it. You can freeze fresh ginger root for long periods of time.

Freeze it

The only way to do it, is to get a container or maybe a bag fiiled with sand.
Then you put the ginger roots inside.
Put it in a cool place.
I garantee you that it will last a very very long time.

I freeze mine.....just don't let it thaw....I freeze them and then as I need to use, I use a micro-plane to grate it, comes out like little ginger snow all over the food....preserves flavor and keeps for a long time.

The old-fashioned way was to store in a pot of sand, but I've always found that I can buy very small pieces of ginger in the supermarket (enough for a couple of weeks) and they last quite well in the fridge just loose.
