1. Choose the right location

Before you start planting garlic, make sure to choose a sunny location with a well drained soil. The garlic thrives in fertile and well-ventilated soil.

2. Prepare soil

Before planting, amend the soil by adding compost or manure to ensure proper nutrition to your garlic bulbs. Work the ground in depth so it is furnished and ready to accommodate bulbs.

3. Select Bulbilles

Choose healthy and good quality garlic bulbs for planting. Make sure they are firm and free from mould or injury.

4. Plant bulbilles

Plant the garlic bulbs at a depth of about 5 to 8 cm, spacing them about 10 to 15 cm from each other. Be sure to plant the garlic with the tip up.

5. Care and maintenance

• Water the garlic bulbs regularly, especially during dry periods.
• Eliminate weeds that may compete with garlic in nutrients and water.
• Add balanced fertilizer in the spring to promote bulb growth.

6. Harvesting of garlic bulbs

Garlic is usually harvested 8 to 10 months after planting. The signs that garlic is ready to be harvested are yellowing of leaves and drying of stems. Remove the bulbs, shake the excess soil and let them dry in the shade for a few weeks.

With these simple steps and TEO tips, you can grow garlic and harvest tasty and aromatic bulbs at home. Enjoy your gardening and home crops!
