Subject: RE: Planting garlic question



Nova Scotia
Cloves are weighted more on the bottom and when they fall down the pipe to the ground they almost always land slightly upright. If placed by hand with the pointy end down the garlic will emerge with a crook in its neck and it will never be as good or marketable as a properly planted clove.

Some of those planters mechanically orient the cloves with a wire or shield before they drop down the pipe.

If you don't have access to "virus free/tissue cultivated" garlic seed make damn sure you are only planting garlic free of all evidence of disease. Rogue out sick looking garlic in early summer.
