For the best results, cultivate the soil and dig in some organic compost or manure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLANTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBreak the garlic down into cloves. Prepare the rows 20cm apart and space the cloves 10cm apart and 5cm deep along each row. Press the cloves gently into the ground, tip facing upwards, cover them with a thin layer of soil and firm the soil around the clove. If planting in a container, allow 4 cloves per 15cm pot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCARE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep the area weed-free by regular hoeing and ensure the cloves remain covered with soil. Keep them well-watered during the growing season. Stop watering when the cloves have swollen. Expose the top of the cloves to the light by gently pulling back the surrounding earth. Break off any flower stems that may appear.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHARVESTING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen the leaves turn yellow and the foliage collapses, lift the garlic straight away. Lift gently from underneath using a fork to ensure no damage to any bulbs. Remove any dirt, roots and brittle stems. Spread them out in a crate or on a sack to enable them to dry for 7–10 days.\u003cbr\u003eWhen dry they can be placed in nets or tied together and hung in a cool but frost-free place within a dry and well-ventilated environment. These may then be stored for up to 6 months.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlant as soon as possible after purchase. Keep in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place until planting.
