Why this matters
A single bulb of garlic can multiply into many, giving you a free, long-storing crop. It needs little care and adds flavour and value to your kitchen.
What you need
A healthy garlic bulb, soil or a pot, and a sunny spot.
These are everyday items. If you don’t have one, look for the closest alternative — the steps will tell you what to use instead.
How to do it
Follow these steps in order. Take your time. You’ve got this.
Break a bulb into cloves and choose the largest, firmest ones to plant.
Push each clove pointed-end up about three centimetres deep into soil, spaced apart.
Water lightly, keep it sunny, and harvest when the lower leaves turn brown and dry.
