Garlic requires a free draining, fertile soil in a sunny position. Thoroughly dig over the site with a fork, removing any weeds. Adding a general fertilizer will improve yields. Plant in Autumn or Spring
Mark out a row using a string line or cane. If the garlic is in whole bulbs break them into cloves before planting. Plant the individual clove 3cm deep and 10cm apart along the row. Label the row with the variety name.
Keep the soil moist during the growing period. Remove any weeds which otherwise will compete with the garlic for food and water.
In mid summer, the leaves will start to die down. Lift the garlic out of the soil and leave on the surface to ripen for a few days. When dry, store in a light airy position, dry and frost free.
Garlic is said to deter many garden pests.
