Why plant
Easy to grow and store.
Is there anything else that gives cooking such a zing?
Plant when all is autumn damp and darkness, but dream of sunny days, clear blue skies and long light evenings when harvested in July.
Interesting uses
Use to repel night time mosquitoes by placing cloves they gather, or by applying extracts on exposed parts of your skin.
Mix garlic cloves with pepper and a bit of soap to make your own garlic pesticide.
If you don’t have a bottle of adhesive or glue in your house take a clove, crush and rub juice on paper or glass. Adhesives made of garlic have been used to repair glass in China.
