| Generally speaking garlic is not difficult to grow, but it does grow best in a loose, crumbly soil that is rich and has had lots of organic matter worked into it. In addition, a complete fertilizer can be worked in prior to planting, say two to three pounds of 10-10-10 fertilizer per 100 square feet, or, some gardeners prefer fish emulsion or a seaweed based fertilizer applied according to the label instructions. You might also wish to perform some basic soil tests to find out what amendments, if any, your soil needs. Your County Extension (228-6881) can help you with the tests and interpreting the results. |
