Notes
Liquid Feed
Garlic will also do well being liquid feed , I do mine every week with diluted worm juice 10 to 1 dilution, and use a watering can to do this.
When Garlic starts to flower
Once the garlic starts to send up a flower , wait for the flower to form a point, break of just before it flowers this will help to increase the size of the garlic bulb,
Harvesting
Continue to let the garlic grow until you see the leaves starting to turn brown, and do not water at this point. Its time to harvest ,
Cure for a few days
I pull the garlic all up and spread them all out on a large tarp and leave them to cure in the shade with air circulation, letting them dry out,
