Don’t buy garlic anymore! Here’s how to grow it in a pot endlessly...🧄🧄👇

Garlic stands out as a widely utilized culinary ingredient, not only for its flavorful contribution to dishes but also for its significant health benefits. Packed with vitamins A, B, C, and E, antioxidants, calcium, potassium, zinc, selenium, and allicin (a potent natural antibiotic), garlic earns its status as a superfood and nutraceutical. While often associated with warding off vampires, this versatile ingredient has a valuable place in your kitchen and health regimen.

Despite its popularity, store-bought garlic can be relatively expensive. However, a single garlic clove possesses the potential to sustain your supply indefinitely. Learn the simple method of cultivating garlic at home in a pot with perpetual results.

What you need:

Potting soil
A head of garlic
A pot
Note: Each bulb you plant will multiply, yielding 3 or 4 new garlic cloves.

Steps for potted garlic:

Acquire a sizable pot, preferably with drainage holes, and fill it with high-quality potting soil. Carefully separate the cloves from the garlic head, ensuring they are fresh and undamaged.
Plant the cloves about 2.5 cm deep with the tips exposed. Maintain a 10 cm distance between each clove. Add a thin layer (barely 1 cm) of potting soil on top.
Position the pot in a sunny spot and water lightly. Garlic requires minimal watering, so maintain slightly moist soil without overdoing it.
Watch as the garlic shoots grow. If blossoms appear, promptly remove them to preserve the flavor of the garlic.
Harvest the garlic when the plants have 5 or 6 leaves, and they begin to yellow and wither.
Dry the harvested garlic in a cool, dry place for about a week, such as a garage or cellar.
Keep in mind that garlic takes 8 to 10 months to grow, with optimal planting periods in early spring or fall. Additionally, the green stems of garlic are edible and can be enjoyed like chives.

By following these straightforward steps, you can enjoy a continuous supply of homegrown garlic, enhancing both your culinary creations and your well-being.

Earlier disgruntled ex-liveries of mine, Jack & Stephanie Golding, posted a slanderous & totally fabricated post surrounding the reasons they were asked to leave my yard.

The true reason they were asked to leave was that they were attempting to run up a large livery bill & were refusing to answer my call’s & requests for payment.

They also were not caring for their horse in a satisfactory manner, contrary to my care & wellbeing guidelines that I enforce here at Forest Farm Equestrian Centre. Our Duty of Care to all horses & ponies is of paramount importance. They did not provide a clean bed & allowed their horse to stand in a muck & urine saturated stable.

In the the two weeks that they were at my yard they only purchased 1 bale of hay & in my opinion their horse was suffering with malnutrition, to the point where several of my other liveries were noticing this & were considering calling the RSPCA.

I have also been contacted by their previous livery yard owner, informing me that they left while owing a large livery bill.

To any other livery yards out there, please be aware of these people & if anyone knows where they have moved to, please check that their horses condition hasn’t worsened.
