Title: Storing Garlic
Post by: JaseMac on July 17, 2008, 10:06:35
Morning all,

I've harvested around 30 garlic bulbs which are currently drying off. What is the best method for storing them and how long should they keep? Could I use a heavy paper sack like for storing potatoes?  ???

Braid them or string them up, keep out of light. They will keep better if exposed to the air more.

Or - we hang ours from the kitchen beam. With the Onions. When we didn't have White Rot!

Finished last year's 2-3 weeks ago.

Hiya, JaseMac, welcome to the site  ;D
we're storing ours upside down in pint glasses, as suggested by someone on here, ours are hardneck so can't be braided  :)
