🌱 How to Plant Garlic in Fall

Garlic is one of the easiest, and most rewarding crops you can grow. Fall planting sets the stage for a bountiful harvest next summer.

Here’s how to do it right:

  1. Choose the right spot – Garlic loves full sun and well-drained soil.

  2. Prep the soil – Loosen it up, mix in compost, and make sure it’s rich and crumbly.

  3. Break the bulb – Separate cloves just before planting, keeping their papery skins on.

  4. Plant deep – Place each clove pointy side up, 2–3 inches deep and about 6 inches apart.

  5. Cover & mulch – Backfill with soil, then add a thick blanket of leaves or straw for winter protection.

👉 Plant in mid-to-late fall—before the ground freezes—and you’ll be harvesting big, flavourful bulbs by next summer!
