Growing Information

Much like onions and shallots, garlic is a heavy feeder and requires plenty of water and fertilizer. Garlic has a high demand for nitrogen. We suggest fertilizing with a complete fertilizer like our 20-20-20 initially to promote root development, then switch to a nitrogen and sulfur-based fertilizer like our Ammonium Sulfate. Garlic thrives when competition with weeds is reduced. Keep weeds at a minimum with frequent shallow cultivation.

Bulbs are ready to harvest when the tops flower and the cloves reach an acceptable size. Pull the bulbs from the soil and allow them to 'cure' in the sun for a couple of days. If rain is imminent, move them to a dry area. Once cured, place bulbs in a cool, dry area that is well-ventilated. A pole barn or a ventilated storage basement is sufficient.

*NOTE* We will begin shipping orders for garlic in mid-September.

All rotted

Not a review for hoss as I always have good experiences with this store. This isn't my first time growing garlic but all of the 35 cloves rotted in a well draining raised bed. 5 flowered and I have a bunch of tiny bulbils to try again in 2 years. I was super excited for this variety but no luck for me. I guess that's part of gardening.
