How to plant garlic
Garlic tolerates frost and likes frost, so it is often planted in the fall. The garlic is always divided and planted as individual cloves. Garlic is planted in raised beds, pots or in rows in the kitchen garden. They are planted approx. 10 cm apart. You can plant them closer together and use some of the bulbs as greens over the summer - the tops are fine as chives.
When garlic is placed in the kitchen garden, it develops into large, beautiful bulbs. All our garlic is "soft-necked" garlic. This means that it does not form a cane and can be braided for hanging.
Garlic is very easy to grow.
Good properties of garlic
Garlic can also be tucked in between the herbs and is said to help deter the carrot fly which lays eggs in the parsley. The plants are fragrant so it makes sense that they have a deterrent effect.
If they are placed in a place where they lack water and fertilizer for periods of time, they will become smaller and sometimes begin to flower and then form small bulbs at the top. Both flowers and bulbs are edible.
