The Spice of Life

I’ve been growing garlic organically for two decades and this may have been the best harvest yet.

After a crop failure two years ago due to ‘rust’ I was considering giving up. But instead I made some alterations. Last years crop was small in quantity but huge in bulb size and amazing flavour.

This year was even better.

Here is a blog I wrote a number of years ago explaining some of my key strategies and techniques.

  1. I will check your garlic growing posts I finally had some growing would have been awesome first harvest but with all the rain we had & the other joys of small farm living, the garlic all turned to mush but at least I know it will grow. lol.
