Growing Garlic

















Sow: Plant cloves in October through February. Plant up to 4 inches deep and in rows about 12 inches apart

Soil: Garlic likes loose soil it will in heavy wet soils, so add sand and organic matter or a soil conditioner before planting if you have heavy clay soil. 


Harvest: When the lower leaves turn yellow or brown, pull up and leave to dry in
the sun for 10 days on a rack. Then remove the outer layer of skin before storing
in a cool place.



Containers: You can grow garlic in containers indoors or out. You can also clip the green stems and use for cooking.
