Hello there, can anyone tell me if I can use cloves from garlic that has been sitting inside my fridge to plant them? Im new to this but would like to start growing my own garlic as I eat it a lot, thanks heaps!

Buy some Australian grown garlic as it won't have been treated. Put in the fridge for a week. Separate the cloves and plant out, but you'd better do it soon. Make sure you put some compost and NPK fertiliser on them. Add some nitrogen fertiliser in the spring. They are ready for harvest when the stalk goes a bit soft and droops at ground level. Enjoy your fresh garlic!

Hi. Last year we planted organic garlic that sprouted very well. When the sprouts died off we harvested the same clove we planted! No bulb had formed in any of them. It had been pretty rainy. Have planted in a pot this time. Was it something I did or just the rain? I'm in the Northern Rivers.

When is the best time to sow garlic, living on the south coast of NSW. Best methods of nurturing and general care?

I would be interested in some of the pearls of life. How do I contact you? And of course how much? Planting location is Laidley. Is this suitable? (retyped by Liz)

Can anyone please tell me where I can get seeds for the Chinese green garlic leaves - I buy it from my veggie shop in bunches and use it for stirfrys. The garlic chives are not as big as the ones the Chinese sell

Your Garlic stems are just plain garlic growing in the garden. Instead they harvest the shoots before the bulbs mature. It is a wise thiNg to grow your own.
