TIPS:

• Be sure to plant NZ grown garlic from the garden centre. Supermarket garlic isn’t reliable. • Feed your garlic to encourage fat healthy growth. You can use liquid manure, sheep pellets, blood and bone, or worm tea from your worm farm. • Garlic is also easy to grow in the garden as long as the soil is well drained and sunny. Clear the weeds and mix in compost before planting. • Add a handful of garden lime per square metre of soil or mix a tablespoon of lime into your potting mix.
