Garlic - start soon for success

Did you know that if your garlic doesn't get a long cold spell it will never form bulbs? Now that the Store has garlic for planting you can research what will make it grow well.

General advice seems to be a several weeks in the fridge followed by deep planting in well drained soil. You can use onion fertiliser as you prepare the bed. There's a mass of information online, but try the Garlic Farm  or the RHS advice or watch on Youtube here .
