Description

The best planting time for garlic is mid-June to August. Good drainage is essential to prevent bulbs from rotting. Apply Blood and Bone before planting. Plant as individual cloves as early as possible after purchase, to reduce dehydration of the clove.

Garlic competes poorly with weeds; try to keep as weed free as possible. Water moderately.

Planting: Plant cloves 2-4cm deep and 10cm apart.

Harvest:
Approximately after 7 months. Once tips of the leaves begin to yellow and the base of the stem goes soft.

Handling:
Handle with care as freshly dug garlic bulbs are easily damaged.
