3. Garlic
Most of the garlic that you buy comes from China. It is treated with chemicals so it can spend thousands of chemicals and remain “fresh.” If you want a healthy and organic garlic, plant it yourself!
In this way you invest in your health and save money; Home-grown garlic is much healthier and growing your own garlic is super-simple, you you have no excuse of not planting it!
Even though autumn is the best season for planting garlic, you can still plant it whenever you want. Same as onions, it does not like any “invading” grass, so make sure you protect it with a plastic “cover” (wrap) which will also provide it enough moisture.
Garlic improves the growth of tomatoes, lettuce, raspberries, beetroot and roses. Do not plant it near beans or peas.
Planting: Use your finger to make a 5-inch deep hole in yhe soil. Plant the clove with the root pointing downward. After a while, same as with onions, you should see some young sprouts.
