Your Guide to a Successful Harvest
How to Grow:
- Planting Time: For the best results, plant individual cloves in the fall before the ground freezes.
- Soil: Music Fall garlic is adaptable, but thrives in well-draining soil like loamy clay or sandy loam.
- Planting: Gently crack open the bulb and plant individual cloves with the pointed end facing up.
- Spacing: Plant cloves about 2 inches deep. For larger bulbs, space cloves at least 20 cm apart. If you prefer a higher total yield of smaller bulbs, you can space them closer at 10 cm apart.
- Care: Mulching your garlic bed is highly beneficial. Remember to rotate your garlic crop every 3-5 years with other plants like mustard or fall rye to maintain soil health. Avoid planting garlic where other alliums (like onions or leeks) have recently grown.
Note: Always start each new crop with fresh, healthy bulbs to ensure the best possible yield and quality.
