A low-maintenance crop<\/h3>\n

Caution: do not plant garlic in soil which was used in the preceding year for growing vegetables belonging to the onion family: garlic, shallots, onions, leeks.<\/p>\n

Garlic grows in all types of soil as long as this soil is well aerated and non-sandy, and fares well on soil with residual fertilizer from previous crops. A nitrogen-free basal fertilizer containing potash and sulphur can also provide added benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Garlic is an ecological crop, and rarely requires chemical treatments as long as certified plants are used to prevent diseases (viruses, rot, nematodes) it rarely requires treatment.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]

Garlic leaves can be chopped like chives and sprinkled onto a salad, an omelette or cottage cheese. Enjoy garlic leaves all year round by placing a garlic bulb on top of a pitcher filled with water (change water regularly). Leaves will start growing, and you will be able to cut these and use them for cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Quick and easy to plant<\/h3>\n

Separate the garlic cloves and plant only the largest, healthiest and well-shaped cloves. Keep the smaller cloves at the centre of the head for cooking.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plant cloves in soil, 3 cm deep, point upwards. Plant in rows spaced 30 cm apart, and allow for 10 cm between each clove. For poorly drained soil: plant in ridges (10-cm high ridges).<\/span><\/p>\n

Another option is to plant cloves closer together. That way whole fresh garlic plantlets can be harvested earlier on, and mature garlic can be harvested later on.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]

[vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Use a trough planter without a self watering system. Fill with a mixture of peat compost. Place outside on a window sill exposed to sunlight. Bring inside if you wish to harvest a few days earlier. However the plant needs to be kept outside until the end of January as garlic bulbs and young plantlets need cold weather to develop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Garlic can be grown just about anywhere. Garlic is a hardy plant which grows in all types of soil, except soil that stays very humid throughout the winter. Choose a piece of land in a nice sunny spot. Prepare soil by turning it over with a spade or pitchfork before planting.<\/span><\/p>\n

A fertilizer for flower bulbs can be used. If planting in rich garden soil, no fertilizer is required.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nGarlic planted in autumn can be harvested:<\/span><\/p>\n

As early as April<\/b><\/p>\n

For whole fresh garlic (garlic plantlets) which is harvested before the bulb is formed. Enjoy whole fresh garlic sprinkled with a bit of salt, chopped in a salad, or as a topping on cottage cheese\u2026<\/span>
\nGarlic leaves: chop like chives, and sprinkle on a salad or omelette.<\/span><\/p>\n

In May<\/b><\/p>\n

Harvest fresh as needed for cooking. If you\u2019re using certified plants, you will find that garlic leaves are as tasty as cloves.<\/span><\/p>\n

From June<\/b><\/p>\n

Harvest at maturity and leave to dry in the shade for a couple of days (direct sunlight damages the plant and alters storage qualities), then braid in a rope.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1567677426418{background-color: #f6f6f6 !important;}”][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Tips for storing and curing garlic” use_theme_fonts=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes” rtl_reverse=”yes” content_placement=”top” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1567677451169{background-color: #f6f6f6 !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading text=”If garlic is overly mature at harvest, it does not store well.

Tips for growing garlic<\/h3>\n

Do not water garlic in the month before harvest. Harvest when garlic is mature in dry weather, preferably in the afternoon. Leave stalks and bulbs to dry in the shade for a couple of days (direct sunlight damages the plant and alters storage qualities).<\/p>\n

Keep garlic in a warm place!<\/h3>\n

After harvest, garlic enters dormancy and can no longer produce a sprout. When temperatures drop, garlic comes out of dormancy. In order to ensure proper storage, garlic should be kept at a temperature above 18 \u00b0C and cold spells should be avoided.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best place to store garlic is the place where it is used: in the kitchen!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tied in a bunch, in a braid or a mesh bag, garlic adds a decorative touch to the kitchen, where it is ready at hand for cooking.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1568887268564{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”6062″ img_size=”large” add_caption=”yes”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”How to cook garlic?” color=”juicy-pink” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fail-echalote-certifie.org%2Fen%2Fgarlic-cooking-recipes%2F|title:Garlic%20Cooking%20Recipes||” el_class=”btn-toutes-varietes-ail” css=”.vc_custom_1572457664101{border-radius: 35px !important;}”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
