The Who What When Where Why and How of Planting Garlic



Published
How to Grow Garlic?

It's actually incredibly easy and requires very little work on your part. Plus garlic you grow at home tastes better than store-bought, and if you grow it from leftover bulbs you bought from the grocery store, you are growing yourself free food, which is basically growing yourself money!

And yes, I grow garlic from store-bought bulbs. Or did in the past. At this point, the bulbs we plant are from leftover bulbs of garlic we grew on the farm. I have never boughten garlic from a seed company!

Roughly 6 weeks before your first frost, take a bulb of garlic, separate it from the head and plant it 3 inches in depth, 6 inches apart from other cloves or plants, and in rows at least 6 inches apart from one another. Water well immediately after planting, cover with a layer of mulch, and ignore it until you see green growth in the spring. Seriously. Don’t worry about watering it unless it never ever ever ever rains.

In about 9 months, you’ll have a slew of garlic you grew yourself and the feeling of being an accomplished gardener.
