Definitely 8 inches here and 4 inches for the elephant garlic. No added nutrients yet, and yes, I am bragging !

Mine are just coming through, but they weren't planted till December.

We have 5 varieties of garlic , onions & shallots in since October, and look to be doing well - see my blog. However, we have been warned about white rot on the plots so wait for disaster :'(. We planted half in pots to make sure we didn't lose the lot.

How about the nutrients and less of the bragging? Ooh you are naughty! >:(

Well very soon, I hope to be adding some BF&B, bonfire ash, and in a selected area, coffee grounds, as an experiment.

And I am expecting a bumper harvest !

(nitrogen, sulphur, potash)

Seriously impressed! ;D

Mine are going in tomorrow as have just moved plots, will give the ground plenty of Soot as it is also going to accomodate the Leeks, and Onions which I generally dress with Soot and they seem to do well, I think it has lots of potash in it.

:'( :'( :'(
Not a single sprout, not a hint of life. my raised bed which I placed 4 lines is like a grayish desert.
Rommel would love to drive his tanks through it, know what I mean.
the carrot and parsnip bed, lovingly sieved and raked. prepared with thought, was filled with 3 lines spaced out.
inter cropping to keep the bugs away. Nothing! I say Nothing!!
Last week I could have swore it was spring, It was that dry I watered them a little.
There is more chance of discovery Life on Mars than in my Garlic rows.
I say, >:( Don't sit there and read this and laugh, >:( yes you, stop laughing.
It is not funny :'(
still me Broadies and cabbages are flying :P
I want my Garlic TO GROW
I LOVE Garlic, but Garlic it seems has falling out of love with me.

Sorry Celtic -but the stuff I planted in modules a few weeks ago is up now, mind you I decided to harden it and some broadies up this morning. It's just hailed -must be spring.

Zippy Seale · « **Reply #77 on:** February 16, 2006, 17:29:08 »

deboydoyd · « **Reply #78 on:** February 16, 2006, 17:29:58 »

Definately all garlic Tim but its the ones at the back are elephant garlic hence the difference in size--apparently grows about 5 feet tall and bulbs like footballs!!! apparently!!

tim · « **Reply #79 on:** February 16, 2006, 18:14:05 »

SO right - one clove is 1/2 the size of a tesco bulb!!
