Has anybody successfully grow ginseng in the woods in zone 4.  We’d like plant some but I was just wondering if anyone here has tried it and how did work out.

I read about (the late) Bruce Phetteplace growing ginseng in central NY state in the book Farming the Woods. There is a lot of information in that book about ginseng, and many other things, and the authors are also based in New York, so that might be especially relevant to your growing zone.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
