Part 4/7:
Spacing plays a vital role in garlic growth. It’s recommended to plant garlic at:
6 inches apart for large heads.
Alternatively, you can experiment with 7-inch off-centered spacing, which can potentially increase your overall yield without sacrificing head size.
For depth, plant each clove approximately 4 inches deep to protect them over the winter and provide insulation.
Planting Garlic Cloves
To plant your garlic, perform the following:
Add a handful of worm castings into each planting hole to nurture the garlic cloves.
Break the garlic head into individual cloves, planting the largest ones with the flat ends facing down and the pointy ends up.
