Part 6/9:
When preparing to plant, it's vital to choose the right cloves. Instead of randomly picking from the bulb, select the largest cloves for planting. Larger cloves yield larger garlic bulbs, while the smaller cloves can be used in the kitchen. This practice not only enhances your harvest size but also helps improve the quality of your garlic over time.
Keeping the Protective Skin
When peeling apart garlic bulbs, leave the protective paper-like skin on the cloves. While it may come off during planting, removing it intentionally is unnecessary and can expose the cloves to potential damage. That outer layer acts as a natural barrier, promoting healthy growth.
