How to Plant Garlic

• Immediately before planting, work a couple tablespoons of 5-10-10 complete fertilizer, bonemeal, or fish meal into the soil several inches below where the base of the garlic cloves will rest.

• Select large, healthy cloves, free of disease. The larger the clove, the bigger and healthier the bulb you will get the following summer.

• Break apart cloves from the bulb a few days before planting, but keep the papery husk on each individual clove.

• Plant cloves 4 to 8 inches apart and 2 inches deep, in their upright position (with the wider root side facing down and pointed end facing up).

• Plant in rows spaced 6 to 12 inches apart. A single 10-foot row should yield about 5 pounds of the fragrant bulbs, depending on the variety.
