Growing tips

Garlic prefers loose, humus-rich soil without waterlogging in a sunny, open position. It thrives best at mild temperatures (12-24°C); bulb formation is inhibited at temperatures above 30°C. Individual cloves or bulbs (bulbils) are planted. The bulbs are only planted approx. 2 cm deep in the soil. With hardneck varieties, you can also cut away the false flowers on some plants so that they put all their energy into their bulbs. And only allow a few plants to form bulbils so that they can be replanted in the fall. Depending on the variety, the bulbs will form ready-made garlic bulbs or so-called round bulbs the following year. These can also be used or simply planted again the following year, when they will also form the typical bulb. They are harvested in July as soon as about 2/3 of the foliage has turned brown.
