Growing Garlic
Garlic is part of a vegetable family called the allium family, this includes onions, shallots and leeks.
Garlic is growing from cloves, Once the plants are ready for harvesting each clove will produce a bulb which should contain a number of cloves (10-12 on average)
When planting garlic you should always choose a well drained variety which gets plenty of sun throughout the day. Cloves should be planted upright about 2.5 cm under the soils surface, plant the cloves 2 inches apart in rows which are around 18 inches apart.
Once the garlic cloves begin to grow you should keep the beds well watered and weed free. Regular checks for pests and disease should also be done.
