How to Plant Garlic - Growing in the Garden

It's garlic planting time in many areas including the low desert of Arizona. Garlic is usually planted in the fall — from September through November. Plant garlic about a month before the soil freezes in cold climates.

The best time to plant garlic in the low desert of Arizona is during the month of October.

• Break apart the bulbs, and soak in a solution of fish and kelp fertilizer and baking soda (1 T of each per gallon of water) for at least 8 and up to 24 hours.

• The baking soda has antibacterial benefits and the fertilizer stimulates growth.

• Plant with the flat side (roots) facing down and the pointy side (sprouting side) facing up.

• Plant cloves 2-3” deep and 4-6” apart. For square foot gardening, plant 9 per square.

Happy planting!
