Growing Instructions
Prepare the soil of weeds and debris and loosen the soil to a depth of 20cm.
Plant the cloves 2.5cm deep, with the pointed end facing upwards.
Space the cloves 10-15cm apart to allow room for growth.
Water regularly during dry spells but cease watering 2-3 weeks before harvesting.
Maintain a weed-free environment around the plants to reduce competition for nutrients and water
Harvest when the foliage starts turning yellow and the plant is falling over, this is typically by July-August.
Place the bulb in full sun to dry out for 3-8 weeks.
After this, trim off any remaining roots and store bulbs in a cool, dry place where they can last up to 8 months.
(If not planted immediately, open bag and spread somewhere cool and dry to prevent the sets sweating and rotting)
