Peel, cut into chunks and freeze it. If you let it defrost slightly, you can grate it fairly easily the next time you want to use it.All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.
Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.0 -

I just freeze it as it is and then scrape or grate it when it's frozen. It'll last for ages in the freezer. If you also keep chillis and spring onions frozen you'll have the basis of a lovely stir fry.Piglet

I'm no expert but there are lots of other google links with ginger growing. I keep meaning too...but forget. It does shoot really easily though, and ginger rose in price quite steeply last year so worth trying IMO.:)0 -
ginger can be frozen,but why not try adding it to stirfries?0

I prefer to keep ginger frozen, so there are certainly no worries on that front. It grates at least as easily as fresh, and I think you lose less of the oils to the atmosphere in the process (but that isn't any more than a feeling).0

If you grate a piece of ginger onto a piece of muslin, screw it up, and squeeze out the juice, you can add that juice to just about anything... soups, stews and casseroles for a warm lift, cake mixes, biscuit recipes, hot chocolate drinks, tea, fresh fruit salad, rice pudding....If I'm over the hill, where was the top?0

Grate some of it very finely and add it to chocolate brownie mix.0
