What is the best varietal type of garlic to grow in far East Gippsland? I have free draining soil, slightly sandy loam

Best depends on taste. But I buy my garlic from Diggers Club in Dromana (www.diggers.com.au). Been doing it for years and just recycle some for the following year. For two of use we grow about 80 plants per year, saving 10 for replanting. This year I just purchased 4 more varieties from Diggers so we'll be planting about 100 extra plants! We love garlic in case you haven't worked that out... NOW is the time to plant.
