How To Grow
Store on wire racks in a cool, dry, airy place until planting.
- Choose a location in full sun with very well draining soil.
- Dig over soil; garlic prefers a slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter.
- Space rows 20cm apart.
- Plant individual cloves 10-15cm apart with the pointed tips facing upwards; do not plant very small cloves.
- Plant 3-5cm deep so the tips are just below the surface.
- Mulch with straw or lucerne.
- Keep well watered during warm weather.
- Remove scapes (flower stalks) when they begin to curl.
- Harvest when leaves begin to turn brown and there are 4-6 green leaves remaining; lift the whole plant out of the soil with a garden fork.
- Cure (dry) bulbs in a shady, well-ventilated area for 3-10 weeks before cutting the dried leaves about 2cm from the bulb.
