Planting Garlic
- Select planting location, full sun preferred
- Plan for 8" - 12" spacing between cloves
- Loosen all soil, rich and sandy loam preferred
- Planting recommended in late October
- Gently crack bulb apart into individual cloves
- Keep as much skin and root plate on each clove
- Plant clove, root end down 3" - 5" deep
- Cover with soil and pack gently
- Add a thick mulch layer 4"- 6" on top of soil
- 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
