Raising your own Garlic

Planting and raising garlic is quite easy. All you need is a little energy and a spade or shovel with which to dig. You will also need some cloves of garlic. I get mine from the health food store and buy the organic garlic. One of the reasons to avoid the regular grocery stores is because imported foods get nuked when entering the country and it effectively kills the plant in the bulbs. You should get a dozen to a dozen and a half cloves from one garlic bulb. So a handful of bulbs will plant quite a full garden.

You’ll want to plant the clove with the point end sticking up. The pointed end is where the leaves will grow and the other end, the bottom is where the roots will grow. Put the clove into a hole about 2 inches deep with the root end down and cover lightly. A scoop of chicken litter will give your garlic a push and produce excellently for you. Chicken litter is a strong fertilizer, so use it sparingly or you will burn your plants.

Be sure to keep your garlic well watered, but not soggy. Here in Florida plant your garlic in the fall, about October. When the garlic is ready to harvest, it will look like your plants are dying; but relax, you have successfully grown garlic!

Dig up the garlic and dry completely and store in a cool, dry spot. If it is too warm or moist, the garlic will begin growing. Don’t be surprised if the garlic starts growing in your refrigerator. When it reaches that stage, just dig another hole, plant it and harvest another batch later at the end of the season.

The aristocrats are the ones responsible for garlic falling into disuse and I find it disgusting. Garlic is probably one of the most important plants that you will ever use. Learn more about why you should raise and eat garlic on a daily basis.
