Depending on the season, the bulk garlic may have slight imperfections such as misshapen bulbs, minor nicks, open wrappers or slightly stained skins. Although the planting quality is similar, our premium (regular) bulbs have a more rigorous selection process and tend to be more perfect in appearance than our bulk bulbs.  

PLEASE NOTE: If you order both bulk and premium garlic seed or other products, they will all be shipped together.

Garlic is a heavy feeder. Apply a well-balanced organic fertilizer at planting and in spring for best results. Planting a green manure cover crop the season before growing garlic is also recommended.   

Grow Guide

  • Date: September 15 - November 15. Plant 3 to 6 weeks before ground freezes
  • Planting: Push cloves into loose soil with the tips pointing up
  • Depth: 1-2" (from clove tip to soil surface)
  • Spacing: 10-12" between rows, cloves 5-6" apart within row
  • Fertility: Garlic performs best in fertile soils. Organic fertilizer is recommended 
  • Mulching: Cover with 4-5" of straw, grass or leaves in fall. Remove in spring. 
  • Watering: 1"/week clay soil, 2"/week sandy soils
  • Scapes: Cut and harvest scapes when beginning to curl
  • Harvest: Dig bulbs when plants have 3 to 4 green leaves remaining
  • Drying: Place bulbs in a warm, dry area with lots of air flow.
