Based on the typical needs of an average family for home use, you would need to grow 105 bulbs of garlic per year.
Determining Your Garlic Needs
To figure out how much garlic you should plant for home consumption, it's helpful to consider average usage. According to reference information for planning a home garlic plot:
- An average family typically uses about 2 bulbs of garlic per week.
- Over the course of a year (52 weeks), this amounts to needing approximately 105 bulbs in total.
These 105 bulbs, if they are nice, healthy, and large, would weigh roughly 12 to 15 pounds.
Yearly Garlic Requirements for Home Use
Here is a breakdown of the estimated amount of garlic needed based on the provided reference:
- Weekly Usage: 2 bulbs
- Annual Usage: 105 bulbs
- Annual Weight (approximate): 12-15 pounds
| Time Period | Quantity (Bulbs) | Quantity (Weight - lbs) |
|---|---|---|
| Per Week | 2 | - |
| Per Year | 105 | 12-15 |
Growing 105 bulbs should provide a sufficient supply for an average family's needs throughout the year, assuming typical culinary use.
