Planting Garlic

https://medmanor.in/infrastructure/ In the Pacific Northwest, garlic can be planted throughout October and into early November, so if you are in this area you still have time! The way I learned how to plant garlic is that you should soak the cloves in a solution of water, seaweed extract or fish emulsion, and baking soda for a couple of hours before planting. This is not only to promote the growth of the garlic, but also to help prevent fungal diseases. It’s a few extra steps that aren’t that hard, so this is the way I have always done it and I always end up with healthy, nice sized heads of garlic.

While the garlic is soaking, this is a good time to get your bed ready. Since the garlic will be in the bed through the winter and spring, until the summer, this is a good time to add compost and fertilizer to where you are going to plant your garlic.
