Cut it into little pieces and mix it with some chinese food or noodles. Eat it raw. Makes me feel like a beast.

how do i go about setting up a little 10 pack to put in my canna garden indoors? Do they need special feeding or can i drop them in super soil with water?

Hello fellow garlic heads! I love the stuff. We started getting more into garlic the past couple years. This year we harvested about 30k heads of various hardnecks. Garlic-scape season was awesome and intense! Here is a picture from when we were about halfway through hanging up to dry:
This time we upped it to approximately 40,500 heads. 9 beds, 5 rows per bed, 6 inch spacing per clove, ~500 ft. per bed. Just finished putting them into the ground yesterday. I'm damn tired, and my hands hurt... But I feel a great sense of accomplishment tucking in the little garlic army for the winter! I'll hopefully get some good pics of it all next year. We are growing Music, Georgian Crystal, Romanian Red, Killarney Red, Metechi, Spanish Roja, and Red Russian. Any other good suggestions?

Mostly to sell the giant heads to seed garlic companies, culinary size and scapes for retail and cull size to a local kimchi producer. Then we (small family farm,) need enough to re-plant or likely, continue expanding next year, so we save the best for that purpose.
We are also messing around with rounds of black garlic and I get as much as I can eat all year, which is the best part imo.

@thumper60 Well, we just planted all our seed cloves this year. If you are still wanting some next July, give me a holler and I'd be happy to send you a few of each variety.

I use a bulb of garlic a day, roughly speaking. Garlic and something spicy are in almost every dish.... but I've never ever tried growing cause it's so cheap and accessible.
But you, my friend, have inspired me to change my foolish ways and start popping some bulbs in the ground....

I don't think you need to worry about that stuff when growing garlic in good soil like most people here are doing. Most of what you use those products for is typically present in an outdoor grow in the ground. But I could be wrong. There are some expert garlic growers judging from their pictures that probably have more insight than I do.Hellou garlic lovers...
Any body use azos and mykos for this great plant..??
