How to plant Garlic

1. Break Garlic bulb apart into individual cloves.
2. Plant cloves with the pointy end up about 8 cm deep, keeping a space of 7 cm between each clove.
3. Make sure you sow in well drained soil in a full sun position.
4. Fertilize with a well-balanced fertilizer.
5. Once foliage begins to brown off, cut back on water and fertilizer. (Australia: around Oct-Nov)
6. Harvest Garlic when there are 4-5 green leaves left, or leave it in the ground until it is all brown.
7. Hang dry in a dry place for 2 weeks to harden the skin.
8. Store in dark, dry place. Then it will keep for around six months.

Note: Garlic needs the transition between short day lengths (winter) to long day lengths (summer) in order to form bulbs.
