How do you arrange garlic?

Published in Garlic Planting 1 min read

The provided reference is about planting garlic, which implies arranging the garlic in soil for growth.

To arrange garlic (specifically, plant garlic) effectively, consider the following:

  • Soil Enrichment: Enrich the soil properly before planting. The video mentions this is key.
  • Spacing: The video snippet doesn't specify spacing, but generally, garlic cloves should be planted several inches apart to allow room for growth. A common recommendation is 6-8 inches between cloves and 12 inches between rows.
  • Orientation: Plant cloves with the pointed end facing upwards. This allows the shoots to emerge easily.
  • Depth: Plant the cloves deep enough to ensure they are covered with soil.
  • Timing: Plant in the fall for a summer harvest in many climates.

After planting, with proper soil preparation, you can generally leave the garlic to grow on its own and you should see shoots emerging within a couple of weeks.
