Grow garlic, an easy crop with no dig, hard or softneck, tips for harvest
Heading
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgYUgc5c70YEasier when you have control of weeds, see my other videos for advice on that with no dig. I show the two main types of bulbs, plus elephant garlic which is not a 'true garlic' and tastes of leek. Dates here apply to zones approx. 6-10, I am zone 8. Garlic is prone to rusty leaves and see how I manage to reduce rust. Harvest early rather than late and I show why. I show an easy way of storing garlic for many months of use.[caption id="attachment_102204" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
With a 4th June harvest from the polytunnel, where I grow garlic between winter salad plants, needing no extra space. We tidy the plants straight after harvest, these are not washed but peeled.[/caption][caption id="attachment_102206" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
Same garlic one month later, dried in the compost bays under a roof, then plaited, will be good to use from now until next May[/caption]
