50 Garlic Cloves, bought at the local veg shop.
25 to be planted out on moon days and 25 on the next opposite moon day.
All sets will be weighed before planting and after harvesting next summer and after 24 hours of drying.
Soil prep; the cloves are all going into 1 bed on the lottie, which had main crop potatoes in until September. the bed was hand rotavated and all weeds removed. I'll add coffee grounds and epsom salts to the soil prior to each sowing.
i am sowing to find out whether a sept/oct/nov/dec sowing is best, the cloves that go in on midwinter day will be harvested on midsummer day, and all other cloves will be harvested the same number of moon cycles from sowing.
