Planting garlicis an easy and rewarding endeavor that promises a healthy crop of flavorful garlic without requiring much work. To begin the process of planting garlic, start by purchasing quality garlic bulbs. Remove the bulbs from the main stem, leaving the skin intact. Next, select a well-drained area of the garden that receives direct sunlight. Plant the garlic bulbs 2 inches into the ground, leaving the pointed end facing upwards. Space the bulbs 4-6 inches away from one another. Water the bulbs slightly before leaving them to grow. Mulching the area is recommended because it retains moisture while preventing the growth of weeds. In due time, the garlic bulbs will grow steadily, ready for harvesting when the leaves turn yellow.
