Planting Garlic

• Select planting location, full sun preferred
• Plan for 8-10 inch spacing between cloves
• Loosen all soil, rich organic material and sandy loam is preferred
• Planting recommended mid to late October
• Gently crack bulb apart into individual cloves
• Keep as much skin and root plate on each clove
• Press clove into soil or mark out holes with a stick
• Plant cloves, root end down 2-3 inches deep
• Cover with soil and pack gently
• Add a thick mulch layer 4"- 6" on top of soil, leave for winter
• Wait for leaves to poke up early in the spring
• Remove garlic scapes in June, when fully curled
• Plan for harvest late in July when 1/2 the leaves are brown
• Ensure good ventilation while drying, do not leave in direct sun
