Growing Information

Much like onions and shallots, garlic is a heavy feeder and will require plenty of water and fertilizer. Garlic can have a high demand for nitrogen. We suggest fertilizing with a complete fertilizer like our 20-20-20 initially to promote root development and then switching to nitrogen and sulfur-based fertilizer like our Ammonium Sulfate. Garlic will grow best 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 mid-September.

Looking finger licking good thus far!

Popped the bulbs in the ground and covered them with wood chips. They are poking through as I type! Going to be damn delicious this Summer!
